How much could I receive?
Our primary aim is to get your home repaired to your solicitor’s standard not to the landlord’s standard. Everyone has a legal right to live in a well maintained property.
A landlord will offer compensation depending upon the severity of the disrepair and the length of time, compensation varies on a case to case basis. You can also claim for any personal items you have had to replace due to the disrepair.
For a claim to succeed you must have advised your Landlord. We can assist in helping you do this free of charge.
"Following constant disinterest from my housing association in terms of required repairs, I decided to contact the housing disrepair team to finally be heard. I have found the team pleasant and down to earth in their approach and look forward to working with them further to finally get the children and I living in appropriate conditions."

"If you are having extreme difficulties with repairs, as I was, this is the right place to get help. Outstanding response: quick and clearheaded. I was so upset and confused. I was also being intimidated and treated with contempt by Council Repairs.This helped me to push back on that and repairs are now being taken care of. Have a chat to Liam to find out how you can get the job done!"

"The lawyers were excellent! They gave me life again I feel proud of the home I have. I have been asking the council for repairs for 10 years and they neglected me. The lawyers acted quickly in 6 months they managed to do more than I can ask for. The kitchen is now fully repaired, mould is gone, all the cracks around the house are fixed. My walls were even painted."
