FAQs

You are likely eligible to claim for housing disrepair if you are a Council or Housing Association tenant who is experiencing ongoing disrepair issues and has reported the problems to your landlord.

No upfront costs are required. We handle all claims on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you won’t need to pay anything unless your claim is successful.

No, you cannot be evicted for filing a housing disrepair claim. Legal protections ensure that Council and Housing Association tenants cannot be removed for seeking compensation.

Under Section 9,10 & 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act (1985), as amended by the Fitness for Human Habitation Act, landlords are legally obligated to keep the property in a good state of repair. You have the right to live in your property without suffering due to disrepair. There is no need to be concerned as it’s their legal responsibility to act in your best interests.

No, you must still be living in the property to make a claim. Claims cannot be pursued after you have moved out.

Most claims are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if necessary, our experienced legal team is prepared to take your case to court to secure the compensation you deserve.

Yes, you must continue paying your rent in full while your claim is ongoing. Stopping rent payments would breach your tenancy agreement and allow your landlord to file a counterclaim against you.

The amount of compensation you receive depends on:

  • The length of time the property has been in disrepair.
  • The severity of the issues.
  • The number of people affected.
  • Any damage to personal belongings.
  • Whether the disrepair has caused illness.

About No Win No Fee

No Win, No Fee Agreements (Conditional Fee Agreement – CFA) – Housing Conditions (disrepair) Claims.

Getting expert legal help – and going to court – can be costly, particularly if you are not successful. To mitigate this No Win No Fee agreements were developed.

When these agreements work well, they can help you get help to enforce your rights, when this may otherwise have been unaffordable. They can also reduce the risks to you if the claim is unsuccessful. Lots of people have benefited from them, and usually they work as expected.

This leaflet explains how they work.

If You Win: 

1.Our Basic Charges and Expenses:

    • Your landlord will cover these costs

2. Success Fee:

    • Charged as a maximum of 25% plus VAT of your compensation.
    • This is deducted directly from the compensation you receive.

3. ATE Insurance Premium:

    • You will pay the ATE insurance premium from your compensation

If You Lose:

  1. No Basic Fees:
    • You will not be charged basic legal fees, provided:
      1. You cooperate fully with the legal process.
      2. You do not provide false or misleading information.

After the Event (ATE) Insurance Policy

1. Purpose

The ATE insurance policy offers two primary benefits:

    • Covers expenses incurred during your case.
    • Protects you from liability for your landlord’s legal costs if the claim is unsuccessful.

2. Payment Terms:

  • No upfront payment is required for the ATE policy.
  • If you win:
    • The premium is deducted from your compensation.
  • If you lose:
    • You do not owe any premium.

3. Premiums & Coverage:

  • Underwriter: Financial and Legal Insurance Limited (regulated by the FCA, Ref: 202915).
  • Indemnity Cover: £25,000, sufficient for housing disrepair cases.
  • Staged Premiums:
    • Pre-Issue: £280 + 12% Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) = £313.60.
    • Post-Issue: £350 + 12% IPT = £392.00.

Exceptions to ATE Coverage

The ATE insurance policy will not provide coverage if you:

  1. Withdraw your claim against legal advice.
  2. Fail to provide required instructions.
  3. Act dishonestly.

In these scenarios, you may be personally liable for:

  • Disbursements incurred during your claim.
  • Your legal fees and your landlord’s legal costs.

Additional Information

  • Further details about the agreement and the ATE insurance policy will be provided upon request.

This agreement is designed to minimize financial risk for claimants, ensuring they are not burdened with upfront costs or fees if the claim fails. However, it is critical for claimants to cooperate fully, provide truthful information, and follow legal advice to maintain the benefits of the agreement and insurance coverage.
