Our housing disrepair lawyers can help you if you have suffered as a result of your landlord’s failure to carry out repairs to your property.  Our team undertake claims against negligent landlords on a no win, no fee basis for a 25% Success Fee which is only payable if the claim is successful.  This means that you receive up to 75% of the compensation that you are awarded and you pay nothing to us, win or lose.

The general rule to bear in mind is that if you can show that you have reported the disrepair to your landlord (and have proof of this) and have given your landlord ample opportunity to carry out those repairs and they have failed to do so, we can help you pursue a claim to ensure the repairs are done and you also receive the compensation you deserve.

You can usually make a claim for rising damp leading to mould, penetrating damp leading to mould, non-functioning or unsafe heating system or boiler, unsafe flooring or staircases, rotten doors or window frames, leaking pipes or cracked sanitation equipment, faulty electrics, loose tiles or brickwork, vermin or insect infestation and other issues.

It is important that you keep a very careful diary of all of the complaints (and follow up correspondence) whether by letter, e-mail or text that you have sent to your landlord, so they can be produced as evidence.  It is also imperative that you keep a record of any visits for repairs and take regular photographs and videos of the persisting issue(s).
