If you’re a council tenant in Greenwich living with unresolved repair issues, you may be entitled to compensation. At Legal HD, we specialise in helping tenants like you claim for housing disrepair when your local authority landlord has failed to carry out essential repairs.

Has Your Council Landlord Failed to Repair Your Home?

As a tenant of a Greenwich council or local authority property, your landlord has a legal duty to ensure your home is safe, secure, and in a good state of repair. If you’ve reported problems and repairs have not been completed within a reasonable timeframe, you may be able to bring a housing disrepair claim.

We support tenants who have experienced:

• Repeatedly ignored repair requests
• Dangerous living conditions
• Ongoing damage to property or belongings caused by disrepair
• Health issues linked to poor housing conditions

Don’t suffer in silence—you have rights.
