Don't suffer in silence. If your landlord has neglected their responsibilities, you could be entitled to £1,000s in compensation plus free repairs.
Housing disrepair claims aren't just about fixing broken homes — they're about making sure you and your family are safe, healthy, and properly compensated for the impact poor living conditions have had on your life.
Black mould, condensation, and damp patches that can trigger serious health issues.
Water damage from roof leaks, burst pipes, or poor drainage.
Dangerous cracks that weaken the safety and stability of your home.
Infestations of rats, mice, cockroaches, or other harmful pests.
No heating, no hot water, faulty boilers, or inadequate systems.
Electrical faults, broken windows & doors, unsafe appliances, and general hazards that put you at risk.
These issues can do more than damage your property — they can seriously disrupt your wellbeing:
Landlords must carry out repairs within a reasonable timeframe (usually 3 months or less — urgent problems should be fixed much faster).
You have the right to claim compensation if repairs are ignored or delayed.
