If you live in council-owned property, they are primarily responsible for attending to repairs such as small leaks or emergency fixes. If authorities have failed to take action on problems you reported, filing a claim may be an option worth considering.

Taking legal action might result in the court ordering the city to make said repair, as well as compensation for any expenses incurred.

Before going ahead with this process though, there are a few things you need mull over; namely confirming that 1) you did notify the council of the issue and 2) that they have not done anything about it thus far.

We had been waiting for 12 months for the damp to be repaired by the council but got nowhere. We were told by a friend that this company could help and within 6 months we received compensation for damages & all the damp and mould was removed.

Types of Damages

When you file a Housing Disrepair Claim, you may be compensated with general or special damages. If your rent was paid while your house was being neglected, that amount may serve as the foundation for your claim. A percentage of what you paid in rent will be decided based on the severity of the disrepair.

The percentage of your rent you receive back largely depends on how inhabitable the property was. Inhabitability is rare, and most claims only result in 25%-50% of the rent you paid, whereas complete uninhabitability would grant you a 100% return.

In the UK, if a tenant brings concerns about their living space to their landlord, they may file a housing disrepair claim. Before the tenant can seek compensation, the landlord must be given time to correct the issues; nevertheless, if repairs are not completed in a timely manner, the housing disrepair claim may be filed.

If you reside in a council home, social housing, or a housing association property, your landlord is required by law to ensure that your living quarters are safe and functional.
