Housing Disrepair

Housing Disrepair

A housing disrepair claim is made when a landlord fails to meet their legal duty to maintain the condition of a rented property. If your landlord has ignored complaints about problems in your home and you’ve suffered inconvenience, illness, or financial loss as a result, you may be entitled to claim.

At Legal Association UK, we help tenants make Housing Disrepair Claims to secure repairs, improvements, and fair compensation.

No win No fee

Our panel solicitors work on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s nothing to pay upfront or if your case is unsuccessful. If successful, fees range between 25%–50% + VAT (capped at 30% + VAT for financial claims), depending on the legal assistant, , claim type, and circumstances.

All fees are agreed upfront and detailed in your solicitor’s agreement. We may receive marketing fees for successful referrals, but you’re under no obligation to use our panel solicitors.
