This is an illustration, not an offer, a quote, or a valuation of your claim. It does not promise any payment. It does not create a claim or entitlement.

What you actually receive depends on the facts and evidence of your own case. It is decided through negotiation or by a court. This is general information, not legal or financial advice, and no outcome is promised.

The figure covers compensation for inconvenience and loss of enjoyment. Damage to belongings, alternative accommodation, and medical impact are separate.

Indicative only. Courts usually base disrepair compensation on a proportion of your rent for the time the problem lasted (the approach in Wallace v Manchester City Council). This tool uses that method. Real amounts depend on evidence, severity and the landlord's response. No upfront cost. You only pay if you win, and the fee comes out of the compensation, not your pocket. If you don't win, you pay nothing. Talk to us free for a proper assessment.

How the estimate is worked out

It works out a share of your rent for the time the problem lasted. The share depends on how bad the problem was: about 10% for mild problems, up to 100% if the home was not fit to live in. Courts use this rent-share approach (Wallace v Manchester City Council).
