FAQs
Do I Have To Go To Court?
About 90% of our housing disrepair claims are settled out of court through negotiation. However, if needed, our experienced housing disrepair solicitors are not afraid to take your case to court.
How Long Is The Claim Process?
The housing disrepair claim process can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to 12 months depending on your landlord. We will, however, press your landlord to make sure they commence house repairs without delay following our initial contact. You can rest assured there will be no delays on our part, and we will do everything we can to get your landlord to take action on necessary home repairs.
Do I Still Need To Pay My Rent If I’m Claiming?
Yes! You should still pay your rent in full. If you stop paying your rent, your landlord has the ability to make a counterclaim against you, as you would be in breach of your tenancy agreement.
Need To Pay Anything Upfront?
No. All the housing disrepair claims we take on are on a no win no fee basis. This means you do not need to pay a penny upfront. If you’re searching for housing disrepair solicitors no win no fee, we offer this option to help you claim without the worry of upfront costs.
Will My Landlord Cause Me Problems If I Claim?
Under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act (1985), as amended by the Fitness for Human Habitation Act, both social (council or housing association) and private landlords are legally obligated to maintain the property in good condition. They must take care of home maintenance and ensure that house disrepair doesn’t affect your quality of life. There’s no need to be concerned, as it’s their legal responsibility to act in your best interests.
Can I Claim If I’ve Moved Out Of The Property?
No, unfortunately not. You must be currently living in the property. Housing disrepair claims can only be made while you’re residing in the property that has the disrepair issues.
How Much Compensation Can I Get?
Your housing disrepair compensation is calculated based on the length of time that the property has been in disrepair, how many people it has affected, how severe the disrepair is, if any belongings have been damaged due to house repairs issues, and if the disrepair has caused any illness.
