At Legal HD, we support tenants across Newham who’ve reported repair issues to the council or a housing provider but have been ignored or dismissed. If this sounds familiar, you may have a strong legal case.

What Qualifies as Housing Disrepair?

Housing disrepair refers to damage or faults in your home that your landlord is responsible for fixing. If you’ve informed them and they haven’t taken action, you could be entitled to both repairs and compensation.

Typical housing disrepair issues in Newham include:

• Damp and mould, particularly in bedrooms, kitchens, or bathrooms
• Leaks from plumbing, gutters, or roofs
• No heating or hot water, especially in colder months
• Unsafe electrics, such as flickering lights or exposed wires
• Cracks in walls or ceilings, or structural movement
• Rodents or insect infestations, due to poor property upkeep
• Broken windows or doors, creating safety or insulation issues
• Inadequate or unusable kitchens and bathrooms

Whether it’s a minor leak that’s grown worse or a serious hazard like faulty wiring, if your landlord hasn’t fixed it, legal action may be necessary.

Claiming Compensation – What Can You Recover?

When your landlord fails to maintain your home, it’s not just inconvenient—it can affect your health, wellbeing, and finances. You could be eligible to claim compensation for:

• The inconvenience and stress caused by the disrepair
• Damage to your possessions, such as furniture, clothing, or electrical items
• Extra expenses, like heating costs or temporary accommodation

All claims are handled on a no win, no fee basis—so there’s no risk to you. If your case isn’t successful, you won’t pay a penny.
