Ismail Limbada, our Director and lead solicitor, is a proven expert in Housing Disrepair Claims with over 10 years of experience dedicated to securing justice for clients.
He successfully represents individuals across the country against Housing Association and Local Authority Landlords, ensuring they not only secure the compensation they deserve but also achieve the necessary repairs for safe and healthy living environments.
A housing disrepair claim is when action is taken by tenants against their landlords if the landlord has failed to keep the property in a habitable condition.
Once you have notified your landlord (in writing) of the issues in your home and they have not addressed or resolved the issues within a reasonable time frame, you can submit the form on our website to find out if you are eligible.
It will depend on the severity of the claim, if the claim involves personal injury then the time limit is usually 3 years but for other HDR claims, the limit is usually 6 years.
It is important to keep any correspondence that you have with your landlord, including photographs, records of complaints made and especially medical records if the disrepair in your home has directly impacted your health.
Your landlord is solely responsible for making repairs. If you claim and win, your landlord is responsible for fixing the repairs.
No, it is illegal for landlords to evict tenants for making a disrepair claim.
Our client, a tenant, faced severe damp and mould across their rented property, creating unhealthy living conditions. Despite repeated complaints, the landlord failed to act. With the property deteriorating and health risks increasing, the client needed urgent legal intervention but required a solution that avoided upfront costs.
Operating on a No Win, No Fee basis, our specialist housing disrepair team, led by solicitor Ismail Limbada, swiftly took action. Using the client’s evidence (including photographs), we compelled the landlord to accept responsibility. Within months, we secured full repairs to eradicate the damp and mould, and achieved significant compensation for the client. The tenant successfully resolved their disrepair claim and secured justice without any personal financial outlay.
