Housing disrepair covers any issue that makes your home unsafe, unhealthy or uninhabitable, such as damp, mould, leaks, broken boilers, faulty electrics, or structural damage. Beyond Housing has a legal duty to fix these within a reasonable timeframe once a complaint is made.
While Beyond Housing provides a rapid-response team and categorises damp and mould cases based on risk, some properties still experience repeated issues or inadequate fixes. The Housing Ombudsman has highlighted cases across the sector where delays and poor handling of mould complaints amount to severe maladministration.
If your case is eligible, our panel of specialist housing disrepair lawyers will manage the entire legal process, collecting evidence, arranging inspections, serving legal notices, and securing repairs and compensation, all on a ‘no-win, no-fee’ basis.
