At GLP Solicitors, we understand how important a smooth property transaction is. Our conveyancing team helps clients navigate the legal side of buying and selling a home with confidence.

Thinking about making a housing disrepair claim?
Here are 5 things you should know before getting started 👇

🏠 You should still be living in the property
Housing disrepair claims are designed to help tenants get repairs completed and seek compensation for the impact the disrepair has had on them while they remain in the property.

💷 You shouldn’t have rent arrears
In many cases, having significant rent arrears can affect a housing disrepair claim, so it’s important to understand where you stand before proceeding.

📸 You need evidence of the disrepair
Photos, videos, medical records, inspection reports and copies of complaints made to your landlord can all help support your case.

🔑 You can be a private or social tenant
Whether you rent from a council, housing association or private landlord, you may be entitled to bring a housing disrepair claim if repairs have not been addressed.

📍 We only help tenants in England and Wales
Our housing disrepair team handles claims for tenants living in England and Wales.

If you’re living with issues such as damp and mould, leaks, pest infestations, broken heating or other serious disrepair, get in touch with our team to find out whether you may have a claim.

Think you don’t need a Lasting Power of Attorney? You might be believing one of these common myths...

👴 “LPAs are only for older people.”
💍 “My spouse can make decisions for me anyway.”
🔒 “Creating an LPA means losing control.”

All three are wrong.

The reality? An LPA is about protecting your choices, not giving them up. It ensures the people you trust can help if the unexpected happens.

Don’t let misconceptions stop you from planning ahead.
