Living with damp and mould isn’t just unpleasant; it’s a serious health risk and a clear sign that your landlord may be neglecting their legal duties. At Marley Solicitors, we specialise in payouts for housing disrepair claims and are here to help tenants take action when landlords fail to maintain safe, habitable living conditions.

Damp and mould: A sign of housing disrepair

Damp and mould are common problems in rented homes, especially when landlords ignore requests for repairs. Whether caused by leaks, poor ventilation, or rising damp, the result is often the same: damage to your home and a risk to your health. Mould spores can trigger asthma, respiratory problems, skin irritation, and even impact mental well-being, especially for children, the elderly, and those with existing health conditions.

Your right to live in a safe home

Under UK law, your landlord has a duty to keep your property in a good state of repair. That includes fixing leaks, preventing damp, and ensuring adequate ventilation. If they fail to act within a reasonable time after you report the issue, you could be entitled to compensation for housing disrepair.

How we can help

We understand how stressful it is to live in poor conditions. Marley Solicitors offers expert legal support to help tenants hold landlords accountable. Here’s how we can assist you with a damp and mould claim:

Free consultation to assess your situation and advise whether you have a valid claim.
No win, no fee representation, so you don’t pay anything upfront
Pursuing compensation for damage to your belongings, health issues, and the inconvenience caused

Start your claim today

If you’ve reported damp and mould and your landlord hasn’t taken action, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Marley Solicitors is here to make sure your voice is heard and your rights are protected.

  I would like to express my utmost satisfaction with the work carried out by my lawyer. From the very first meeting, she demonstrated exceptional competence, availability, and great attention to every detail of my case. She guided me with impeccable professionalism, always explaining everything clearly and reassuringly.

Thanks to her expertise and dedication, my case was handled efficiently and with excellent results. I also truly appreciated her kindness and the ability to make me feel comfortable throughout the entire process.

A true professional: precise, reliable, and always supportive. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a serious and highly competent lawyer.

  I had an injury at a major Supermarket so I contacted several solicitors to make a claim for compensation. Most stated that the compensation I would receive would not be worth making a claim.
Marley Solicitors stated the opposite and a claim was made. I was very surprised that I was offered more compensation than the claim put forward by Marley Solicitors. Yasmin was my Solicitor and she did a fantastic job, keeping me informed of the whole process putting me at ease.
I would not hesitate to contact Marley Solicitors if I need there advice in the future
Thanks for a job well done.
Regards
Peter.

  I was dealing with housing disrepair and poor accommodation standards. Marley Solicitors was recommended to me by a friend after they had received amazing support from them. I had the pleasure of speaking with Yasmin and having her help me for the entirety of the case. She was very informative and explained very well what was going on and what the next steps to take were going to be. In the end, she helped us receive substantial compensation from our housing association, more that we thought we were going to get. They worked swiftly and effectively without delaying anything. I definitely recommend them to anyone having legal trouble. Thank you to Yasmin and her team!

She was always there when I needed anything explained to me or any concerns.

Would highly recommend, thank you for everything I really appreciate it.

  I would highly recommend Marley's, the lovely lady I dealt with came to my house after being hit by a car, I lost teeth, broken shoulder and nose. Very professional and kept me up to date with everything that was happening. I received 20,000 compensation thankyou again for all your help with my matter. This will make a difference being able to replace my teeth, loss of earnings and any extra physio I will need to get my arm functioning.

Thankyou again Marley's

  I made an appointment with Lesley at marleys and she stayed open late to accommodate us because of our working hours. I was getting married and needed some paperwork authorizing. Lesley made us feel at ease and everything was done quickly and efficiently. We also needed a 2nd lot of paperwork doing and she squeezed us in on the same day to sort that for us aswell because it needed to be sent off asap. I will be making another appointment to be sorting out our will's with her in due course.

After the first appointment everything was completed within a week. A top class service all round made all the more enjoyable by Lesley, Yasmin and Teddy. I will definitely use them again.

  What a lovely refreshing change to meet someone who is not your stereotypical, stuffy, old fashioned solicitor.  Lesley is a warm & friendly person who speaks to you as an equal, without any of the usual patronising superiority that you tend to get used to with  this profession.  Met Lesley and Yasmin for the first time on Thursday to discuss Wills, done and dusted and signed by Monday.  Couldn't wish for more superb and efficient service.

  Lesley & co helped me create my will as it was long overdue.

My kids fight over literally everything, so at least now this is one thing they can’t dispute when they each inherit the rubbish I couldn’t bring myself to throw away.

There was no charge as it was done for a donation to Cancer Trust, paid when my number’s up.  Sorry kids (not sorry)!

Fantastic service and communication throughout, would highly recommend this friendly, local business.
