No Win, No Fee. Nothing to pay upfront and nothing if the claim doesn't succeed.
How this works. UK case law generally awards general damages as a percentage of rent for the period of disrepair, from around 20% for minor issues up to 90%+ where the property is uninhabitable. Special damages (health, damaged belongings) are added on top. This tool is a guide only.
