Why You Must Act Now

Time limits apply to housing disrepair claims. Don't wait until it's too late.

6-Year Time Limit

You have up to 6 years from when the disrepair began to make a claim. After that, you lose your legal right to compensation permanently.

Disrepair Gets Worse

Damp, mould and structural issues worsen over time, damaging your health and belongings. Every month you delay costs you more suffering.

Backdated Compensation

The longer the disrepair has existed, the higher your compensation. Acting now means we can claim for every month you've suffered.
