What is a No Win, No Fee agreement?
Formally known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), it is a contract between you and your solicitor. It states that you will not have to pay any legal fees if your housing disrepair claim is unsuccessful.
This model was designed to give people who cannot afford expensive hourly legal rates access to the justice system. At Disrepair Support, we have fully embraced this model to protect tenants from bullying landlords.
£0 Upfront Costs
We fund everything from the start. You don't pay for the initial assessment, the expert surveyor's report, or any legal filings.
Zero Financial Risk
If your claim does not succeed, you owe us nothing. We take on the financial risk so that you don't have to.
Shared Goal
Because we only get paid if we win, we are highly motivated to secure the maximum possible compensation for you.
How do we get paid?
If your claim is successful, we charge a "success fee" which is deducted from your final compensation amount. This fee is a pre-agreed percentage and is capped by law to ensure you keep the vast majority of your payout.
Our solicitors will explain exactly what this percentage is before you sign anything. There are no hidden charges and no surprise bills at the end of the process.
