Housing disrepair: The statistics

Housing disrepair is a widespread issue, particularly for social housing tenants. In Cheshire, with its mix of urban and rural communities, tenants face significant challenges. According to the English Housing Survey 2022–2023 and other sources:

• Approximately 4% of UK households (1 million) reported dampness issues, with Cheshire’s social housing tenants, especially in areas like Warrington and Crewe, facing similar problems.
• Nationally, 525,000 social homes fail to meet the Decent Homes Standard, with Cheshire reflecting this trend due to ageing housing stock in towns like Chester.
• Mould affects an estimated 205,000 council properties across the UK, with Cheshire tenants in poorly maintained homes reporting respiratory issues and damaged belongings.
• Housing disrepair claims have risen by 132% nationally from 2017 to 2021, with Cheshire councils paying out significant sums for unresolved repairs.

These statistics show the urgent need for legal action. Marley Solicitors has a strong track record of helping Cheshire tenants secure repairs and compensation, improving their living conditions.

How we can help you

Housing disrepair claims can be complex, but Marley Solicitors makes the process straightforward. We handle claims for a range of issues, including:

• Damp and mould: Causing health problems like asthma or damaging your belongings.
• Structural issues: Cracks in walls, loose tiles, or unsafe roofing.
• Faulty utilities: Broken heating, plumbing, or electrical systems.
• Pest infestations: Vermin or insects due to landlord neglect.
• General disrepair: Any issue that makes your home unsafe or uninhabitable.

To succeed, you must have reported the issue to your landlord and given them reasonable time to act. We gather evidence, such as photos and correspondence, and pursue claims for compensation, repairs, or rent refunds. Claims must typically be filed within six years of notifying your landlord (three years for personal injury).
