The calculation of compensation in the UK for housing disrepair can be complex, and it is important to seek legal advice to ensure you receive the full amount to which you are entitled. The percentage of compensation you will be awarded for a property in disrepair depends on the severity of the damage. A property that is uninhabitable will result in 100% compensation, but this is very rare. Normally, compensation ranges between 25% and 50% of the rent of the property.
