    My House Needs Repair, What Should I Do?

    The law imposes strict requirements on landlords to ensure that your property is kept in a good state of repair particularly:

    • Damp and mould related issues
    • The structure and exterior of the premises
    • Water pipes and installations relating to water usage such as baths, sinks, drainage systems and toilets
    • Gas pipes and electrical wiring
    • Roof, windows, gutters, drains
    • Heating and hot water

    Landlords are also required to ensure that their properties are fit for human habitation. This can include problems not caused by disrepair, but due to design defects, such as condensation dampness, a lack of ventilation or inadequate heating.

    You don’t need to suffer in silence as tenants have rights too. You may be entitled to compensation and for an order to have works carried out. 

    If your home has disrepair issues the first action you must take is to report the disrepair to your landlord. If your landlord refuses or fails to carry out works, you may be able to obtain a court order requiring them to do the works. You may also be entitled to compensation for the inconvenience and distress that the disrepair has caused you as well as for damage to your belongings or any out of pocket expenses.

    We can help you to take legal action against your landlord, providing you with expert advice and help you to achieve a successful outcome.

    Our client had suffered with water penetration, damp, mould growth, electrical issues and blocked drains throughout their tenancy. A Letter of Claim was sent to their landlord, followed by the instruction of an independent Chartered Surveyor. The surveyor confirmed that there was serious disrepair to the property and that the landlord was in breach of their repairing obligations and their duty of care. The property was not reasonably suitable for human habitation and failed to meet hazard standards. A copy of the report was sent to the landlord requiring them to agree to carry out the necessary works and compensate our client. Our client’s landlord failed to respond and accordingly we issued court proceedings against them.

    Our client had a recurring damp issue at her home. This resulted in the property smelling strongly of damp and caused our client distress, inconvenience and embarrassment. A Letter of Claim was sent to the landlord however the landlord maintained that works had been carried out effectively and there was no further damp affecting the property. We instructed an independent Chartered Surveyor, who confirmed issues with damp and the windows. He concluded that our client’s landlord was in breach of their repairing obligations. The landlord initially refused further works however following a further inspection by their own expert, they agreed to carry out works to address the damp and upgrade the windows to double glazed windows. They also agreed to pay compensation and our client's legal costs.

    We were instructed by a client who had water penetration, severe damp and mould affecting her home. The damp was so bad that her children could not sleep in the bedroom and were sleeping on the living room floor. An independent expert confirmed the property was not fit for human habitation. The landlord did not engage with us and so we issued a claim for disrepair in the County Court. They attempted to defend the claim by denying or minimising the disrepair, but later agreed to carry out all works as identified by the independent expert. The claim was subsequently settled with an agreement to do all works, pay our client compensation and pay our legal costs.

The landlord confirmed they would ask their surveyor to carry out an inspection. We agreed to this and advised that we would also instruct an independent Chartered Surveyor. The surveyor confirmed that there was damp and mould and that the property was not fit for human habitation. They recommended that works be undertaken to fix the issues. The landlord agreed to carry out all proposed works and confirming that they wished to try and avoid litigation and settle the claim. Following negotiations, the case was settled with an agreement to carry out works, pay compensation and pay our legal costs.

    We were instructed by a client due to an ongoing issue with her heating. The system had been defective for 2 years causing her home to be very cold. She had purchased an electric heater but this was costly to use. A Letter of Claim was sent to the landlord. They replied confirming they would investigate and asked that we refrain from instructing an independent surveyor. We advised that we felt it necessary to consult our own surveyor to have an ‘independent’ assessment and to preserve evidence on behalf of our client, should litigation be required. Our surveyor confirmed that the heating system required immediate repair and that the property wasn't for human habitation. As the landlord did not reply to our Letter of Claim within the specified timeframe, we issued our client’s claim for disrepair as well as an application to the court for an injunction forcing the landlord to carry out the works urgently. The landlord responded and replaced the heating system and agreed to pay our client compensation and their legal fees.

    We were instructed by a housing association tenant living with her 3 children in a three bedroom flat. The property suffered from disrepair including damp and defective windows. The damp caused extensive mould growth and affected our client and her children’s health, including exacerbation of Asthma. A letter of claim was sent to the landlord. Accordingly we instructed an independent expert surveyor to inspect the property and prepare a report confirming the disrepair within the property. The expert advised that the primary cause of the damp was condensation within the property. He also identified defective windows and some other minor items of disrepair. Works were agreed with the landlord whereby they would overhaul the windows, remove the mould, sterilise, wash down and redecorate the affected rooms. As a result of this agreement it was possible to negotiate a settlement without the need for court proceedings. The claim was settled with an agreement to complete the works within 8 weeks, compensation paid to our client and payment of legal costs.

    damages awarded
    £8,500
    We represented a client in a possession action on the basis of rent arrears. The opponent’s son who managed the claim on her behalf was very difficult and had to be issued with a harassment warning during the course of proceedings. His lack of experience led to significant delays and to matters being unnecessarily litigious. Despite multiple attempts at settlement the matter proceeded to trial where we successfully opposed the son taking part on the basis that he was neither the claimant nor did he have rights of audience. Our application for summary judgement was heard as a prelim issue and was successful meaning the rest of the afternoon was spent calculating quantum. The possession claim was dismissed and client has retained her tenancy, she has also received around £4,000 in compensation for disrepair.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    read more view less

    Do I Have To Pay For My Legal Advice?

    Legal Aid funding has been curtailed in recent years and is no longer available for most disrepair cases. We can offer to act on your behalf on a ‘no win no fee’ basis, formally known as a conditional fee agreement. We’ll arrange an initial meeting to discuss the most suitable method of funding for your case. We can also answer any questions you might have.

    How Much Compensation Can I Recover?

    The amount of compensation you can recover will depend on several factors such as:

    • The nature and extent of the disrepair.
    • How long it has been going on for.
    • The impact it has had on you and your family.

    For more information on this please try our UK disrepair damages calculator.

    Will My Landlord Take Any Action Against Me If I Take Legal Action Against Them?

    Your landlord doesn’t have the right to evict you or take any other action against you if you complain about disrepair or if you instruct Solicitors to help you take legal action. Your landlord can only act against you if you breach your tenancy conditions, for example by not paying your rent or causing nuisance to your neighbours.

    I Have A Potential Claim For Housing Disrepair. What Should I Do Next?

    You can contact us either by telephone or via our website. Some basic details will be taken from you and you’ll be contacted shortly thereafter for an appointment either in person or by telephone.
