Housing disrepair refers to a failure by landlords, whether Liverpool City Council or a housing association, to keep a rented property in good repair. This includes maintaining the structure and systems essential for a habitable home, such as heating, plumbing, and electrical safety. Common disrepair issues tenants face include:
Mould is a common issue in disrepair claims.
Issues with electrics can be a serious saftey issue.
Disrepair can attract rats, mice, and other vermin.
Broken seals and locks can be a security issues.
Landlords are legally obligated to keep a property in a reasonable state of repair and landlords must provide safe, habitable living conditions throughout your assured tenancy.
The amount of compensation you can receive for a housing disrepair claim depends on several factors, including the severity, duration, and impact of the issue on your daily life. If parts of your home, such as your kitchen, bathroom, or heating system, have been unusable, your compensation may be calculated based on a percentage of your rent,reflecting the extent of the disruption.
In most cases, compensation falls between 25% and 50% of your annual rent for the period you’ve suffered. However, for more severe cases, this could be even higher. At SDS Solicitors, we make sure every aspect of your claim is properly considered, from financial losses to the impact on your health and well-being.

Living in a home that is not properly maintained can have a devastating effect on your health, finances, and overall well-being. In Liverpool, where many properties suffer from damp, ageing infrastructure, and poor insulation, tenants often struggle with mould, leaks, and faulty heating systems. These issues can lead to respiratory problems, aggravated allergies, and serious long-term health risks. Structural issues, such as leaking roofs or unstable flooring, also pose safety hazards, making daily life stressful and uncomfortable.
Beyond health concerns, housing disrepair can place a heavy financial burden on tenants. Inefficient heating systems can drive up energy bills, while persistent damp and leaks can ruin furniture, clothing, and other personal belongings, leaving residents to cover the cost. The emotional impact is equally damaging, with many tenants feeling trapped in a stressful situation due to their landlord’s inaction.
If your landlord refuses to carry out essential repairs, you do not have to suffer in silence. Our Housing Disrepair Liverpool Solicitors can help you take legal action, ensuring that your home is made safe and habitable, and securing the compensation you deserve for the hardship you’ve endured.
Social housing in England can be handled by either a Council, which is a government authority, or by private Housing Associations which rent out properties. In Liverpool, and in the wider Merseyside area, your local Council is likely to be Liverpool City Council however other authorities may operate in the surrounding areas.
If your property is under the responsibility of a private Housing Association, this organisation must be properly registered and approved by the UK Government to operate in England. You can check the details of your association on the list of registered providers on the Government’s website. In Liverpool and Merseyside, some of the most common housing associations include:
Other private providers operate in Liverpool, and you can still make a claim for disrepair issues if you are dealing with a provider who does not have a local office in Liverpool.
