Living in a council property comes with certain responsibilities—but your local council also has a legal obligation to keep your home in a safe and livable condition. If they fail to carry out essential repairs, you may be eligible to file a council disrepair claim and even receive compensation.
So, what qualifies as disrepair in council homes?
Disrepair refers to any condition that makes the home unsafe, unsanitary, or unfit for living. This can include:
- Persistent damp or mould that affects your health
- Leaking roofs or plumbing causing water damage
- Broken heating systems, especially during winter
- Unsafe electrical wiring or sockets
- Pest infestations like rats or cockroaches
- Cracks in walls or structural damage
- Blocked drains or poor ventilation
These are not just inconveniences—they’re legal issues. If you’ve reported the problem to your landlord or housing association and they haven’t acted within a reasonable timeframe, you could be entitled to make a claim.
