Living with mould creeping up your walls? Dodging leaks when it rains? Shivering through winter because your heating's on the blink?

As a tenant, you shouldn't have to put up with this. And legally, you don't have to!

We See What You're Going Through

Our specialist housing disrepair solicitors have helped hundreds of tenants across Liverpool who've been ignored by their landlords, to secure both essential repairs and significant compensation.

We've heard all the excuses.

"It's just condensation – open a window."

"We'll add it to our maintenance schedule." - But nothing ever happens

"It's not that bad, is it?"

"We don't have the budget right now."

Meanwhile, you're left dealing with:

• Persistent coughs and breathing problems from mould exposure
• Damaged furniture and belongings that nobody's offering to replace
• Embarrassment about inviting friends or family to your home
• Stress and anxiety every time it rains or temperatures drop

The worst part? Many tenants don't realise they have legal rights to decent living conditions, or that they could be entitled to compensation for what they've endured.

Taking Back Control – How We Help

Our housing disrepair solicitors regularly work with tenants from across Liverpool, Merseyside and the Northwest. And when you work with Emerald Law, you're not just getting legal advice. You're getting advocates who'll:

• Make your landlord sit up and take notice – our letters carry weight that your phone calls haven't
• Get proper surveys done by qualified experts – no more fobbing you off with quick visual inspections
• Push for ALL necessary repairs – not just the quick, cheap fixes
• Seek compensation for your suffering, damaged belongings, and any health impacts
• Handle everything on a No Win, No Fee basis – so there's no financial risk to you

We've seen how housing problems can affect every aspect of your life. That's why we don't just aim for repairs – we fight for proper recognition of what you've been through.

What Your Landlord MUST Fix by Law

Your landlord's responsibilities aren't optional extras, they're legal obligations. When your ceiling develops brown patches every time it rains, that's not "just an old building settling", it's a structural issue they must address.

Those black spots creeping across your bathroom wall? Not "just condensation", it's mould that threatens your health and belongings.

The boiler that leaves you shivering through winter nights isn't something you should just "layer up" for, it's an essential system your landlord must maintain.

We've seen tenants using electric heaters because their radiators don't work, families sleeping in living rooms because bedrooms are too damp, and children developing asthma from mould exposure. None of this is acceptable, and none of it is your responsibility to fix. Your home should be safe, warm and dry - that's not a luxury, it's your legal right.

From Neglect to Action - Getting Your Home Fixed

Getting your housing problems sorted might seem daunting, but we make the process straightforward:

1. Free Initial Assessment

Give us a call or fill in our simple form. We'll listen to your situation and quickly tell you if you have a valid claim. No legal jargon, no pressure – just honest advice about where you stand.

2. Building Your Case

If you decide to proceed, we'll gather evidence (including arranging expert surveys), document the impact on your life, and formally notify your landlord of the claim. You won't need to confront them yourself.

3. Getting Results

Most landlords respond once legal action is threatened. We'll negotiate for comprehensive repairs and appropriate compensation. If they still won't cooperate, we're prepared to take them to court – but that's rarely necessary.

4. Repairs and Compensation

Our goal is to get your home fixed properly and secure compensation for what you've endured. Many clients receive thousands of pounds for serious disrepair cases, alongside the repairs they desperately needed.

What You Might Be Owed

• Every housing disrepair case is different, but compensation typically covers:
• Distress and inconvenience – for the daily impact on your quality of life
• Damaged belongings – from mould-ruined clothes to water-damaged furniture
• Additional expenses – like higher heating bills due to drafts or extra cleaning costs
• Health impacts – if conditions have affected your physical or mental wellbeing

The amount varies based on how severe the problems are, how long they've been going on, and how they've affected you personally. We've secured compensation ranging from £1,000 for minor issues to over £10,000 for serious, long-term disrepair.

Our No Win, No Fee agreement means there's no financial risk to you.
