HOUSING DISREPAIR CLAIMS

What Problems Can You Claim For?

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.

Mould & Damp

Black mould, condensation, and damp patches that can trigger serious health issues.

Leaks & Flooding

Water damage from roof leaks, burst pipes, or poor drainage.

Cracked Walls & Structural Damage

Dangerous cracks that weaken the safety and stability of your home.

Pests & Vermin

Infestations of rats, mice, cockroaches, or other harmful pests.

Boiler & Heating Problems

No heating, no hot water, faulty boilers, or inadequate systems.

Other Serious Disrepair

Electrical faults, broken windows & doors, unsafe appliances, and general hazards that put you at risk.

How Disrepair Affects Your Life

These issues can do more than damage your property — they can seriously disrupt your wellbeing:

Stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights
Time off work due to illness
Chest infections, breathing problems, and poor health
Loss or damage to personal belongings

Know Your Rights

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.
