Housing Disrepair
Claims specialist category
Your landlord has a legal duty to keep your home in good repair. If they have failed to fix serious issues, you may be entitled to compensation.
What Is Housing Disrepair?
Housing disrepair covers a wide range of problems — from damp and mould to broken heating systems, leaking roofs, structural cracks, and pest infestations. Under UK law, landlords are legally required to keep rental properties in a safe and habitable condition. If your landlord has been ignoring your repair requests, you may be entitled to compensation and a court order forcing them to carry out the repairs.
What Type of Specialist Can Help?
Housing disrepair claims are typically handled by specialist housing solicitors, legal executives, and claims management companies. These specialists understand the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, and other relevant legislation. They can assess your case, gather evidence, instruct surveyors if needed, and pursue your claim through negotiation or court proceedings.
What Information Do You Need?
You will need to have details of your property address, the dates you first reported the issues, copies of any correspondence with your landlord, photographs of the disrepair, and any medical evidence if your health has been affected. Our enquiry form will guide you step by step.
