Are you a council or housing association tenant in Barnet living with ongoing repair issues that your landlord refuses to fix? You don’t have to put up with poor living conditions. If your landlord has failed in their legal duty to maintain your home, you may be eligible to claim compensation—and we’re here to help you do just that.

At Legal HD, we specialise in helping Barnet tenants enforce their rights, get repairs carried out, and claim financial compensation for unresolved housing disrepair.

Have You Reported Issues That Still Haven’t Been Fixed?

Landlords—whether it’s Barnet Council or a housing association—are legally responsible for keeping your home in good condition. If they ignore repair requests, you could be entitled to take legal action.

You may have a claim if your home has:

• Damp or mould, especially if it’s affecting your health
• Water leaks, including from plumbing or the roof
• Lack of heating or hot water
• Dangerous electrics, such as flickering lights or exposed wiring
• Rodents or insect infestations
• Broken windows or doors that affect safety or security
• Cracks in walls, ceilings or structural problems
• Defective kitchens or bathrooms that are unusable

If you’ve reported these problems and your landlord hasn’t acted within a reasonable timeframe, you don’t have to tolerate it any longer.

Why You Should Make a Housing Disrepair Claim

Living with disrepair can affect your health, comfort, and finances. By making a claim, you can:

• Ensure essential repairs are carried out
• Receive compensation for the harm caused by the disrepair
• Hold your landlord accountable under UK housing law
• Improve your living conditions and quality of life

We’ve supported tenants across Barnet in making a housing disrepair claim where housing providers have failed to uphold their responsibilities.

What Kind of Compensation Can You Claim?

When your landlord fails to resolve serious repair issues, you may be able to claim for:

• The inconvenience and distress caused by the disrepair
• Damage to your personal property, such as clothing, furniture or appliances
• Additional living costs, like extra heating bills or replacing mould-damaged items

All our cases are handled on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s nothing to pay upfront—and no legal fees unless we win.
