Can I claim housing disrepair compensation?
Poor living conditions can cause unnecessary stress, insecurity, and even shame. They could also be responsible for long-term health problems – but this shouldn’t be the case. You should feel comfortable in your home, and not have to deal with damp, mould or leaks on your own. That’s why we’re here to help you get the compensation you deserve.
As a tenant, you can claim compensation if:
- The property is owned by the Council or Housing Association
- The property is situated in England or Wales
- You have proof (photo evidence) of the defects
- No other solicitor has dealt with the case before
