The length of time a Housing Disrepair claim will take generally depends on the findings of any experts instructed, Landlords response and their willingness to engage with us in a timely manner but there is no fixed time if which a case for housing disrepair will be completed.

Our Housing Disrepair Litigation team will keep you updated at each stage and on each response, providing an explanation and advice along the way. We must look to engage in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a way to find agreement with your Landlord.

If we do not feel that the ADR is proving worthwhile, or that your landlord is not engaging appropriately, we will then discuss the option of issuing the claim at Court.

Cases usually take around 6 – 12 months. If the case is issued at Court, however, then the claim potentially could take around 12 months to conclude.
