Claim For Housing Disrepair

You are eligible to claim for Housing Disrepair if your Council or Housing Association Property is affected by any of the defects listed below.

Damp, Mould & Fungus

Do you have damp, mould, or fungal growth in your Council or Housing Association property? It is your Landlord’s responsibility to ensure your property is fit for habitation. We can help you claim compensation for damp and get these issues resolved swiftly.



Flooding & Water Leaks

If your Council or Housing Association property is affected by continuous flooding and water leaks, it is your Landlord’s responsibility to find and fix the water ingress within a reasonable time period. No-one should have to live in poor, wet conditions.

 

Structural Problems

Structural issues can include subsidence, movement, defective brickwork to the exterior, sinking flooring, and interior cracks (to name a few). If you have complained about structural issues affecting your Council or Housing Association property, we can help. 

Defective Drainage/Guttering

Blocked gutters can make it easy for water to gain access to your property, causing damp and other issues. It can also rot your fascia boards or otherwise impact the structure of your property. An inadequate or blocked drainage system can lead to flooding in your property if not fixed properly.


Electrical Issues

Electricity is essential in your property; it is needed for lighting, heating, refrigeration, operating appliances, and many other electronics. That’s why it’s important that the electrics in your property are maintained to a good standard. If the electrics in your property are defective, we can help. 


Loss of Hot Water & Heating

A loss or lack of adequate heating and/or hot water in your property is an emergency repair and should be dealt with quickly. If you have been complaining about heating and hot water issues at your property, and if your complaints have been ignored or insufficiently actioned, we can help.

Housing Compensation

Our panel of Housing Compensation Experts act on your behalf to seek compensation for the stress, inconvenience, and loss of enjoyment of your tenancy due to the disrepair. We seek compensation by way of a rent refund, along with any special damages.

Disrepair Compensation

We calculate your rent refund by assessing how much rent has been paid at your property since you first complained of the disrepair to your Council or Housing Association. A percentage of this is deducted based on how many living spaces in your property are affected by disrepair.

Special Damages

Special damages can include any possessions, furniture, or items which have become damaged due to the disrepair (such as irreparable mould growth or water damage), along with heightened energy bills (for e.g., loss of heating due to defective windows).
