Real results for real tenants
A selection of recent housing disrepair matters we have concluded. Each case study is written by the solicitor who handled the matter, and all identifying details have been removed to protect client confidentiality.
£23,000 damp and mould settlement against a housing association
Our client lived with severe damp, black mould, leaks and failed windows for almost five years. When repair works finally started, contractors made things worse — damaging her belongings and leaving the root cause unfixed.
Settled for £23,000 after almost 20 months of litigation — nearly forty times the landlord’s first offer of £585.
Persistent roof leak causing repeated ceiling damage
A council tenant reported a roof leak that was patched four times over eighteen months, failing each time. Water repeatedly came through the bedroom ceiling, damaging decoration and belongings.
Settlement included compensation, the cost of replacement belongings, and full roof remedial works on a fixed timetable.
Statutory nuisance prosecution alongside a civil claim
A housing association property was in a state prejudicial to health through extensive damp and decay. After the landlord ignored the civil claim correspondence, a Section 82 notice and Magistrates’ Court proceedings followed.
Works order made; the landlord paid the tenant’s costs and compensation.
