How Long Do Council Disrepair Claims Take?
If you’re living in a property with unresolved issues such as damp, mould, leaks, or broken heating, you may be eligible to file a council disrepair claim. One of the most common questions we receive is: How long does the process actually take?
The duration of a council disrepair claim depends on the complexity of the case and how cooperative your local authority is. On average, most housing disrepair claims take 3 to 9 months to fully resolve. Some straightforward cases, especially those with clear evidence and urgent repair needs, may be resolved in as little as 8 to 12 weeks.
Several factors affect the timescale:
- The severity of disrepair
- Response time from the council
- Whether interim repairs are needed
- Availability of medical or expert reports
To ensure your claim progresses smoothly, gather strong evidence such as:
- Dated photos and videos of the disrepair
- Copies of all emails and complaint letters to your landlord
- Medical reports if your health has been affected
