Claim for Structural Issues in Your Home

Cracks in the walls, sloping floors, unstable ceilings; structural issues aren’t just cosmetic problems. They can make your home unsafe, reduce its value, and leave you feeling anxious about your living conditions. If your landlord has failed to fix serious structural faults, Marley Solicitors can help you take legal action and claim the compensation you deserve.

What counts as a structural issue?

Structural issues affect the integrity and safety of a property. These problems often develop slowly and get worse over time when ignored. Common structural defects include:

• Large or growing cracks in walls or ceilings
• Damp or rotting timbers affecting stability
• Subsidence (sinking or shifting foundations)
• Loose or collapsing ceilings
• Unstable staircases or flooring
• Broken or decaying roof structures
• Bulging walls or visibly shifting brickwork

These issues can pose serious risks to your safety, comfort, and health, and it’s your landlord’s legal responsibility to fix them.

Your landlord has a legal duty

All rented properties must be fit to live in under UK law. If structural problems make your home unsafe or unsuitable, your landlord must carry out repairs within a reasonable time after you report them. If they don’t, you could be entitled to make a housing disrepair claim.

At Marley Solicitors, we’ve helped countless tenants across the UK secure repairs and compensation after being forced to live in dangerous or deteriorating homes.
