What is a Housing Disrepair Claim?

Housing Disrepair is when the property you are renting requires repair to ensure it is safe for you to live in. You may be eligible for a housing disrepair claim if you have reported the issue to your landlord, given them time to carry out the repairs, and they have failed to repair the property or ignored you.

We can help support you with the following issues:

• Damp or mould
• Environmental Protection Act (EPA) Prosecution
• Structural damage
• Leaking roof or guttering
• Unhygienic conditions
• Pest and Vermin
• Waste problems
• Noise or light pollution
• Damaged windows or door
• Faulty heating or plumbing
• Faulty electrics

Do I have to pay for legal representation?

If your case is successful, all legal fees are payable by the landlord. Should your case not be successful no claim for fees from you shall be made.

This makes this course of action one of the most accessible, tenant-friendly and risk-free actions available.

A full explanation in relation to the terms of our conditional fee agreements will be provided to you prior to the commencement of any action taken on your behalf.
