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.

If you are a tenant and the property you are renting falls into disrepair, you may have a valid housing disrepair claim against your landlord. If your landlord has failed to repair faults or not kept the house in good condition, you may find that your home becomes damaged. As a tenant, it is important that you understand your rights and what to do if your landlord does not keep the property in a good condition.
