Is it possible to start a housing disrepair claim with Whaddon council?

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.

How much money can you get for housing association disrepair in Whaddon?

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.

Who is responsible for damp in your council property?

In most cases, landlords are responsible for treating damp since your tenancy agreement probably includes language that they take care of exterior and structural elements in your home. If your landlord doesn’t mediate the mould situation in your apartment, you could be stuck with paying medical bills and replacing lost belongings.

How do your solicitors carry out housing disrepair claims?

A house disrepair claim might cover a wide range of issues, including damp and mildew to electrical problems and structural damage. If your home is in poor condition and has caused you hardship or financial loss, you may be able to sue your landlord for compensation. You may also be able to recoup money paid while the property was being repaired in some circumstances.

When am I eligible to file a housing disrepair claim?

If your property is in need of repairs and your landlord refuses to fix the problem, you may be able to file a claim. You will first need to report the issue to your local housing association or council. Our team can help gather evidence for your case if necessary. If

your landlord still does not take action, you may then seek compensation from them directly.

During your tenancy, you can file a housing disrepair claim either before or after it ends, but the person must do so within six years of giving notice to their landlord about the problem. Personal injury claims must be made within three years of getting notification.

The responsibility for repairing damages caused by your carelessness or doing something wrong rests with your landlord. We are property disrepair solicitors by profession, but we do not accept private landlord claims because, as a general rule, if you have used a letting agent or your landlord is a person, we may not be able to assist you.

What is the housing disrepair protocol?

We specialize in filing claims against local councils, social housing providers, and housing associations. At this time, we are unable to accept complaints from renters against private landlords.

The procedure for claiming against your landlord can be complicated, which is why you will want the assistance of an attorney. If you wish to make a claim, the first thing you should do is contact a professional about your circumstances to see whether your case fits the requirements for one.

Before you file a claim, you must follow the Pre-Action Protocol for Housing Conditions Claims. This procedure includes several steps that must be completed first.

If you don’t follow these procedures, you may be fined later on in the litigation process. To try and resolve the issue without going to court, your best bet is to set up an Alternative Dispute Resolution and submit an application to the county courthouse.

If your landlord has failed to uphold this standard and you have faced physical or emotional injuries or financial strain as a result, you may be able to file an injury claim. In order for me to best assess your case, it would be helpful if you could provide me with a copy of the tenancy agreement, including any terms and conditions that may be relevant.

Our no-win, no-fee approach to housing disrepair claims

We feel that everyone in the UK should be able to obtain competent and professional assistance for their housing disrepair problems, which is why we provide services on a no-win, no-fee basis.

If your case fails, on the other hand, you will not be charged for our housing attorneys’ services. You won’t have to pay any up-front costs if your case wins; instead, the payment will be taken off of your financial compensation.

A “no win no fee basis,” commonly known as a “conditional fee agreement,” is an arrangement in which you are guaranteed that if you lose your case, you will not owe anything (i.e., there will be no legal costs). We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and we are neither middlemen nor a claims management company, so working with us directly guarantees that you will receive the greatest possible service.

What is a housing disrepair claim?

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. It is the responsibility of the landlord to provide you with a decent standard of living if your house degrades or necessitates improvements so that it may be lived in safely and comfortably.

A property is in disrepair when it needs to be fixed for it to be safe and suitable for living. This usually affects rented homes or other types of rented accommodation.
