Housing Disrepair
Ingrams Solicitors specialises in Housing Disrepair claims on behalf of tenants. We have dealt with a large number of successful claims and we are eager to help other tenants get their repairs done.
Whether you are renting from a private landlord, a housing association or a council, your landlord is obliged to keep your home in a reasonable condition and up to a decent standard of repair. If you have reported a repair to your
landlord (for example - missing roof tiles or broken window seals which have allowed rain and damp to penetrate your home) and this has not been dealt with by them then you may be entitled to make a claim for housing disrepair. You may
also be able to claim any losses or expenses that you have incurred as a result of the disrepair at your property (for example damage to your decorations or carpets). These claims are pursued under section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant
Act 1985. Under this legislation you are entitled to bring a claim where there is "actionable disrepair" at your property and you have given ‘reasonable’ notice to your landlord to enable them to address the problems but they have failed
to do so.
We offer a free no obligation advice on pursuing this type of claim. If you are entitled to make a claim we can offer a
No Win No Fee service.
"No Win No Fee" service means that if your claim is unsuccessful you will not have to pay us a penny! If your claim is successful and you are awarded compensation we will seek to recover our legal costs from your
landlord. If we are successful in recovering our full legal costs then you keep 100% of the compensation and you will also get the repairs carried out to your property.
