Have you been living with disrepair in a Havering council property? Whether you’ve reported issues and been ignored or you’re still waiting for repairs to be completed, you’re not alone—and you may be entitled to compensation.

At Legal HD, we help tenants across Havering take action when their local authority landlord fails to meet their legal responsibilities. If you’re experiencing unresolved repair issues, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

What Is Housing Disrepair?

Housing disrepair refers to damage or deterioration in your home that your landlord is legally responsible for fixing. If you’ve notified Havering Council about these problems and they haven’t been addressed, you could have the right to claim both repairs and compensation.

Examples of housing disrepair include:

• Persistent damp and mould
• Leaks from pipes, ceilings, or roofs
• No hot water or heating
• Electrical hazards
• Structural damage to walls, ceilings, or floors
• Infestations such as mice, rats or insects
• Faulty windows or broken doors
• Unusable kitchens or bathrooms

These aren’t just inconveniences—they can affect your health, safety, and quality of life.

Can I Claim Compensation for Housing Disrepair?

Yes. If the disrepair in your Havering council home has been ongoing and reported but not resolved, you may be eligible to claim compensation. Depending on your situation, you could receive:

• Financial compensation for distress, discomfort and inconvenience
• Money to cover damaged possessions or furniture
• Reimbursement for increased heating or electricity bills

Every case is different, but we’ll assess your situation free of charge and let you know where you stand.
