Enquire nowYour landlord has a legal duty to keep your home safe and in good repair. If they fail to do that – and ignore or delay fixing problems – you can take legal action.
A housing disrepair claim can help you:
Our housing disrepair solicitors have also supported many tenants who’ve already claimed with a different solicitor, but were left abandoned when the landlord failed to carry out the agreed repairs.
Even if compensation was paid, your landlord may have breached their legal obligations by not completing the work. If this has happened to you, we may still be able to help you make a housing disrepair breach claim.

You rent from a council, housing association or private landlord
You reported the issue more than 3 months ago, and it hasn’t been fixed

Speak to our friendly team today. You are not alone, and you may have a case.
Yes – if, as a tenant, you feel you are living in an inhabitable environment which is affecting your day-to-day life, health and safety and is causing a financial strain, you can make a housing disrepair claim against your landlord. All tenants are entitled to a safe and habitable home.
Absolutely – damp and mould are health concerns, as well as concerns for building structural elements. If your landlord is neglecting to help you repair a damp problem in your home, you can make a claim. However, if the mould or damp is from your own doing (e.g. not properly ventilating the property), your case may be contested.
Any evidence you can provide helps to build your case. Photos, emails to your landlord, and medical records (if relevant) can strengthen your case. But don’t worry – our housing disrepair solicitors can still help if you don’t have everything.
Most house disrepair cases settle before court. If we do need to take legal action, we’ll guide and support you every step of the way.
Every case is different. Our housing disrepair team is experienced in bringing successful claims and has helped tenants recover £1,000 to £10,000, depending on the level of damage, how much your rent costs and how long the issue has gone on.
We may still be able to help. Some tenants come to us after using another house disrepair solicitor, only to find that their landlord accepted the claim and paid the compensation, but didn’t carry out the promised repairs. If your landlord has breached their agreement, or your previous solicitor has closed the case without following up, you may be able to claim for a housing disrepair breach claim.
Yes – you can still claim for the inconvenience, damage and stress caused before the repairs were completed.
Your landlord can’t legally evict you just for making a housing disrepair claim – that would be a retaliatory eviction, and it’s against the law.
That said, in some private rental cases, we know that certain landlords may try to end a tenancy after the claim is settled by finding another reason. This is much less likely in council or housing association properties, where tenants have stronger protections.
Your house disrepair solicitor will always be honest with you about the risks and help you understand your rights before you move forward.
It depends on the complexity of the case and how your landlord responds. Some cases are resolved in a few months, while others take longer. Your housing disrepair team will keep you updated at every stage and work as quickly as possible to get the outcome you deserve.
We don’t stop until the repairs are done – unlike other firms, we don’t close your case just because compensation has been paid. Our house disrepair team stay with you until the repairs are completed to the agreed standard.
We’ve brought multiple breach claims against repeat-offending landlords, helping clients recover thousands in follow-up compensation, and turning damaged houses back into safe and secure homes. Start your housing disrepair claim today.
