Making a claim can feel complex

We know that making a claim for compensation can feel daunting. We work hard to make it as simple and straightforward for you as possible. We’ll guide you throughout the whole process.

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions about claiming.

How long will it take to make a housing disrepair claim?

Typically, a straightforward housing disrepair compensation claim will take 6-18 months to settle. Some will be quicker and other, more complex cases (or ones that go to court) can end up lasting a couple of years.

How much compensation will I get?

Each case is valued differently depending on the specific circumstances, the extent of the disrepair, and how the landlord has responded to your complaints. Some cases are worth thousands of pounds in compensation.

Will I get evicted by making a claim?

Your landlord cannot evict you for making a housing disrepair claim. We can advise you on your rights if you’re worried about this.

Will the claim cost me anything?

All our housing disrepair claims are offered to you on a no-win no-fee basis. This means that in the unlikely event we don't win your claim, you won't have to pay anything.
