Black Mould Problems

Making a Housing Disrepair Claim for Black Mould on a No Win No Fee Basis

Living in a property affected by black mould is not just an inconvenience; it can pose serious health risks and significantly impact your quality of life. As a tenant of a housing association or council property, you have the right to live in a home that is safe and well-maintained. If your landlord has failed to address issues of black mould, you may be entitled to make a housing disrepair claim. At Universa Law, we offer a no win no fee service to help you seek the compensation and repairs you deserve.

Understanding Black Mould

Black mould, also known as Stachybotrys chartarum, thrives in damp and poorly ventilated areas. It can appear in bathrooms, kitchens, and even bedrooms, leading to various health problems, including respiratory issues, allergies, and skin irritation. Prolonged exposure can exacerbate conditions such as asthma and cause chronic fatigue and headaches.

Your Landlord’s Responsibilities

Under UK law, your landlord is obligated to maintain the property in a habitable condition. This includes addressing issues that contribute to the development of black mould, such as leaks, inadequate ventilation, and structural defects. If you have reported black mould to your landlord and they have failed to take appropriate action within a reasonable timeframe, they may be in breach of their legal duties.

Making a Claim

Our no win no fee service ensures that you can pursue a claim without the financial risk. Here’s how the process works:

1. Initial Consultation: We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your case. During this meeting, we will assess the extent of the disrepair and the impact it has had on your health and wellbeing.
2. Gathering Evidence: We will help you gather the necessary evidence, including photographs of the mould, medical reports, and correspondence with your landlord. This documentation is crucial in building a strong case.
3. Legal Proceedings: If your landlord does not agree to carry out the necessary repairs or offer adequate compensation, we will proceed with legal action. Our experienced solicitors will represent you throughout the process, ensuring your rights are protected.
4. Outcome: If your claim is successful, you may be awarded compensation for any inconvenience and health issues caused by the black mould. Additionally, the landlord will be required to carry out the necessary repairs.
