HOUSING DISREPAIR SOLICITORS IN LONDON

Are you living with housing disrepair issues in London that aren’t being resolved?

London is home to more than 1 million social rented homes – more than any other city in the UK. With 32 boroughs, the City of London and dozens of housing associations and registered providers operating across the capital, tenants dealing with unresolved disrepair issues have specific legal rights that landlords are obligated to uphold.

If you’re facing housing disrepair in London and your landlord isn’t taking action, you may be entitled to compensation.

At Liberay Legal, we specialise in helping London tenants file housing disrepair claims under a no-win, no-fee agreement, so you can pursue the repairs and compensation you deserve, with no financial risk to you.

STEPS TO MAKE A HOUSING DISREPAIR CLAIM IN LONDON

Step 1

Document the problem

Take photographs or videos of the disrepair that clearly show the damage. Make a record of the dates when the issue began and when you first reported it to your landlord.

Step 2

Notify your landlord of the issue

Notify your landlord in writing about the problem. This should be via email, letter, or your housing portal. Give them a clear description of the disrepair and attach any evidence. Keep a copy of all correspondence.

Step 3

Give your landlord time to fix the problem

Give your landlord a reasonable amount of time to assess and resolve the issue. If there is no response or appropriate action within a reasonable timeframe, keep reporting and keep records.

Step 4

Keep evidence of your communication

Document every interaction with your landlord, including unanswered requests, broken repair appointments, and delays. This evidence strengthens your claim.
