Do you live in a council or housing association property in Lewisham that’s falling into disrepair? Have you reported problems to your landlord—only to be ignored? If so, you may be entitled to compensation and legal help to get repairs done properly.

At Legal HD, we work with tenants across Lewisham who are experiencing poor housing conditions due to unresolved repair issues. If your home isn’t safe, comfortable or properly maintained, you don’t have to put up with it.

Common Types of Housing Disrepair We Deal With

Not all damage is minor or cosmetic. In many cases, the disrepair we see in Lewisham council homes poses serious risks to health and safety.

You may have a valid claim if you’ve experienced:

• Damp or mould on ceilings, walls or windows
• Leaks from plumbing, roofing or guttering
• No access to heating or hot water
• Unsafe electrics, like faulty wiring or broken sockets
• Structural damage, such as sagging floors or cracks in the walls
• Pests or vermin, including rats, mice or insects due to poor conditions
• Broken windows or insecure doors
• Unusable or damaged kitchens and bathrooms

If you’ve already raised these issues with Lewisham Council or your housing provider and they haven’t taken action, you may be eligible for compensation and a legally enforced repair order.

What Compensation Can Lewisham Tenants Claim?

When your landlord fails to fix your home, the law is on your side. You may be able to claim financial compensation for:

• Inconvenience and distress caused by the disrepair
• Damage to your belongings, including furniture, clothing or electronics
• Increased energy bills due to faulty heating or poor insulation

Our legal team will assess your case and work to get you the maximum compensation possible, all on a no win, no fee basis.
