Is there a claim against your landlord?

With this service we will help you prepare paper work and gather evidence in order to make a successful claim and receive compensation. We will like to get your claim off the ground ASAP as disrepair is something that so many tenants are sadly forced to go through on a daily basis.

We will arrange for a lawyer to get to the root of the issue, help you gather evidence and start your claim in order to recover housing compensation from your landlord. What many tenants do not realise is that such repairs carried out by the landlord is the basic right of each tenant.

We will ensure that repairs are carried out and if eligible for compensation for suffering are recovered. This includes, and also outlines the provisions of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985,

Section one to three A require landlords to provide tenants with basic information about who they are;
Section five requires, inter alia, the name and address of the landlord, the rent, the terms of the contract, or matters prescribed by the Secretary of State in the regulations.
Section eight to ten state it is an implied term that the property will be in suitable condition and fit for human habitation, which under section ten includes the good state of repair, stability, absence of internal measures, drainage and sanitation facilities, natural lighting, water supply, and facilities for preparing for the discharge of sewage.
Section eleven to seventeen impose obligations on landlords to repair properties in leases that are less than seven years old and are residential. Section eleven specifies that the obligation to repair includes the structure of the dwelling-house, facilities for water, gas and electricity and for sanitation.
Section eighteen to thirty limits the service charges that a landlord can charge a tenant. These are designed to prevent landlords, from imposing further unreasonable charges, and under section nineteen any such charges must be strictly related to cost. Offenses are committed by the landlord for not in the slightest times providing relevant information, and certifying the relevant information by a qualified accountant.
The Solicitor will require the tenancy agreement, photographs and details of when the landlord was notified, if relevant in order to fully assess your claim.
