Why location matters

Local Knowledge Builds Stronger Housing Disrepair Claims

Housing conditions vary significantly across Greater Manchester. Each borough has different councils, housing associations, and registered providers — and each one has a different track record when it comes to responding to repair requests. Some act quickly; others are known for delays, bureaucratic obstacles, and outright refusal.

Our local knowledge matters. We know which landlords have patterns of neglect, which housing associations are responsive and which are not, and how different local authorities handle disrepair complaints. That experience directly strengthens your case.

Whether you are a council tenant in Salford dealing with persistent damp, or a housing association tenant in Tameside whose heating has not worked for months, we understand the local landscape and tailor our approach accordingly.

Different landlords, different responses
Every council and housing association has its own repair processes, response times, and tendencies. We know who we are dealing with before your claim even starts.
Borough-specific housing stock
Older terraces in Rochdale face different issues to tower blocks in Salford or 1960s estates in Wigan. We understand the common defects in each area.
Pattern evidence from local cases
When a landlord has a history of ignoring repairs across multiple properties, that pattern strengthens every individual tenant's claim against them.

How We Help Tenants Across Greater Manchester

From your first call to repairs completed and compensation in your account — here is what happens at every stage of your housing disrepair claim.

Step 1

Contact Us

Call us or fill in our online form. We will ask about your property, your landlord, and the disrepair issues you are experiencing. This initial assessment is free and takes around 10 minutes.

Step 2

Case Review

Our solicitors review your situation, check your tenancy, and assess whether you have a viable housing disrepair claim. We explain your options clearly and honestly — no pressure, no obligations.

Step 3

Independent Inspection

We arrange a qualified, independent surveyor to inspect your property at no cost to you. Their expert report documents every defect and forms the evidence base for your claim.

Step 4

Resolution

We pursue your landlord for the repairs they should have done and the compensation you are owed. Most claims settle without court. If your landlord refuses, we are prepared to litigate.

Brilliant service from start to finish. My council flat had black mould in every room for over two years and the council kept fobbing me off. SLS got an independent surveyor round within a week, and within three months my landlord had done all the repairs and I received compensation. Can't recommend them enough.

Had a leaking roof and damp walls for months. My housing association kept sending contractors who never fixed it properly. SLS took on my case No Win No Fee and got everything sorted. Repairs done and I got compensation for the damage to my belongings.

I was living with my children in a flat with no heating for weeks during winter. The boiler kept breaking down and the council weren't responding. SLS acted fast — they got emergency repairs done and pursued a full claim. Very professional and always kept me updated.
