A lot of factors influence the compensation that you might receive. Compensation will factor ‘pain, suffering and loss of amenity’ caused by residing in a house with a disrepair issue or having to vacate it. The rent of the property is also used as a basis to calculate the compensation as is any costs you have incurred to restore the property.

However in these housing disrepair claim it is a must that you notify the landlord of the disrepair as soon as possible ideally in a recorded format before instructing Solicitors.

Generally, compensation may range between £1000 to £10,000 or even more in cases where you have been injured.
