Works and Compensation for Housing Disrepair

Expert Legal Assistance to Protect Your Rights

Everyone deserves a safe and comfortable home, but when your landlord neglects their responsibility to maintain the property, it can turn your dream into a nightmare. Living with a state of disrepair not only adds stress to your life, but can also adversely affect your health and well-being. At Anthony Gold, we understand the importance of your home, which is why we are here to intervene on your behalf and ensure your rights as a tenant are protected.

Our Commitment to Your Well-Being

Whether it’s a leaking roof, cracked walls, subsidence, mould caused by damp, blocked drains, or a broken-down boiler, we have a team of expert solicitors ready to take action on your housing disrepair issues.

The law says that landlords must maintain their properties in a habitable and safe condition. When landlords neglect this responsibility, we step in to make sure they address the issues promptly.

Our Approach

At Anthony Gold, we believe in advocating for our clients with compassion and understanding. We recognise the distress and inconvenience caused by living in a property in disrepair, and our solicitors handle each case on an individual basis. You can count on our expertise and experience in handling housing and tenancy issues related to repairs.

Forcing Repairs and Seeking Compensation

When landlords ignore repeated requests to fix the issues, we are not afraid to take assertive action. We can threaten them with court action to compel them to carry out the necessary repairs promptly. Furthermore, we understand that living in a neglected property can result in additional stress and suffering for tenants. That’s why we are able to pursue compensation on your behalf for the distress and inconvenience caused by your landlord’s failure to address the disrepair.

Legal Aid and ‘No Win, No Fee’ Basis

Our solicitors are highly regarded for their expertise in handling housing disrepair cases. In some instances, you may be eligible for legal aid, which we can explore on your behalf. Where legal aid is not available, we may be able to take your case on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis. This means you can seek justice and claim compensation without worrying about upfront legal costs.

“I contacted AGS, after my local council were being less than cooperative with me when I was trying to deal with them directly regarding severe damage they caused to our property. My case was taken on by Eleanor Solomon at AGS, who was professional, experienced and very patient. I was updated regularly and none of my questions were left unanswered! And as I had not been through anything like this before, I had a lot of questions! With Ms Solomon’s help, I managed to get some recompense, which I know I would not have got if AGS were not involved! I would not hesitate to recommend AGS to family and friends. Thank you!”
