Compensation explained

How Housing Disrepair Compensation Is Calculated in the UK

We can't promise a specific figure, anyone who does isn't being straight with you. What we can tell you is what the courts and landlords look at: severity of the disrepair, how long it has been ongoing, and any impact on your health or belongings. Broadly, the worse the conditions and the longer they've been ignored, the higher the compensation.

Severity
How dangerous or disruptive the conditions are.
Duration
How long you've been living with it after reporting.
Health impact
Any illness or injury caused or worsened by the disrepair.
Property damage
Belongings, décor and possessions ruined by the defect.
