Frequently Asked Questions

Is the advice on this blog legal advice?

While our articles are written by legal experts and cover general UK housing law, they do not constitute formal legal advice for your specific situation. We recommend starting a free claim check to get personalized guidance.

How do I know if I qualify for a claim?

If you have reported a repair issue (like damp, leaks, or broken heating) to your landlord or council and they have failed to fix it within a reasonable timeframe (usually 21-28 days), you likely have a claim.

Can my landlord evict me if I claim?

You are legally protected from "revenge evictions" under the Deregulation Act 2015 when making a legitimate complaint about housing conditions. Our blog covers these protections extensively.

What does No Win, No Fee actually mean?

It means exactly that. We take on the financial risk. If we do not win your case and secure repairs/compensation, you do not pay us a single penny for our legal fees.

Our Track Record

Real Outcomes for Real Tenants

A glimpse into recent scenarios where our legal team successfully forced landlords to make repairs and pay compensation.

£3,500 Won for Severe Damp

A young family in London suffered for 2 years with black mould. After filing our claim, we secured mandatory repairs within 30 days and full financial compensation.

Broken Boiler Replaced

A tenant was left without heating in winter. We intervened, legally forcing the local council to install a new boiler and securing £1,200 for the inconvenience.

Revenge Eviction Stopped

A private landlord attempted a Section 21 eviction after the tenant complained about a leaking roof. We had the notice thrown out and claimed £2,000.
