No. Under the Housing Act 1985 and subsequent UK tenant protection laws, your landlord cannot legally evict you for making a legitimate housing disrepair claim. Retaliatory eviction is unlawful, and our solicitors will ensure your rights are fully protected throughout the process.

On average, straightforward claims may take 6–8 weeks if evidence is clear and the landlord is responsive. More complex cases can last 3–6 months. Our housing disrepair specialists work quickly to gather evidence and negotiate with landlords to secure the fastest possible resolution.

Useful evidence includes photographs or videos of the disrepair, written communication with your landlord, dates of when problems were first reported, and your tenancy agreement. If the disrepair has affected your health, medical records can also support your case. We guide clients step-by-step on how to prepare the strongest evidence.

No. We work strictly on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and only contribute a success fee if your claim is successful. If we don’t win your case, you owe nothing.

Yes. Whether you rent from a private landlord, a housing association, or the council, you have the legal right to a safe and habitable home. Landlords must maintain the property structure, provide working utilities, and ensure it is fit for habitation. If your private landlord ignores reported disrepair, you can still claim compensation.
