About Manchester Disrepair Claims
SRA-regulated housing disrepair solicitors based in Hollinwood, Manchester. We help council and housing association tenants across Greater Manchester force landlords to make repairs and recover the compensation they are owed — on a No Win, No Fee basis.
An SRA-Regulated Law Firm Dedicated to Housing Disrepair
Manchester Disrepair Claims is a trading style of SLS Solicitors Limited. We are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA ID 813100), and registered in England and Wales with company number 13043393.
Our office is based at Chambers Business Centre, Chapel Road, Hollinwood, Manchester, OL8 4QQ, and our caseload is focused exclusively on housing disrepair claims for social housing tenants — council tenants and housing association tenants living in substandard conditions across Greater Manchester.
Unlike claims management companies that sell your details to the highest bidder, you deal directly with qualified solicitors from day one. We handle every stage of your claim in-house, from the initial assessment to settlement or court proceedings.
Helping Tenants in Substandard Housing Get Repairs Done
Too many tenants in Greater Manchester are living with damp, mould, leaks, and broken heating that their landlord refuses to fix. We exist to change that.
Our mission is straightforward: we use the law to force landlords — councils, housing associations, and private landlords — to carry out repairs they have a legal obligation to make, and to compensate tenants for the time they have been left living in unacceptable conditions.
Every tenant deserves a safe, warm, dry home. When landlords fail in that duty, we step in.
Housing Disrepair Is a Health and Dignity Issue
Social housing disrepair is not just an inconvenience. Damp and mould cause respiratory illness. Cold homes worsen chronic conditions. Leaking roofs destroy belongings. Pest infestations affect mental health. These are the realities our clients live with every day.
Many tenants do not know they have legal rights to force repairs and claim compensation. Others have reported problems repeatedly and been ignored. Some have been told nothing can be done, or fear retaliation from their landlord for complaining.
That is why we do this work. The law is clear — your landlord has a legal duty to keep your home in repair. When they breach that duty, you have the right to take action. We make sure that right is accessible to every tenant, regardless of their financial situation.
Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority
Manchester Disrepair Claims is a trading style of SLS Solicitors Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) under SRA ID 813100. This means we are held to the highest standards of professional conduct, client care, and financial transparency.
SRA regulation protects you. It means your money is held in regulated client accounts, our solicitors hold current practising certificates, and you have access to the Legal Ombudsman if anything goes wrong. You are dealing with real solicitors, not a claims management company.
How No Win, No Fee Works
You pay nothing upfront to start or run your housing disrepair claim. If we don't win, you don't pay.
We operate on a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), commonly known as No Win, No Fee. This means there is zero financial risk to you. We cover all the costs of investigating, building, and running your claim — including arranging an independent inspection of your property at no charge.
If your claim is unsuccessful, you owe us nothing. If your claim succeeds, our legal fees are recovered primarily from your landlord as part of the settlement, in full compliance with SRA rules. We explain exactly how fees work before you sign anything.
This is how we make sure that every tenant can access justice, regardless of their financial circumstances.
