If you’re living in a council home or housing association and your landlord isn't repairing the disrepair then you could get the repairs fixed for free as well as getting compensation for yourself.
There are many homes owned by the council / housing association which all should be maintained. It is your legal right to live in a habitable home.
This will be on a NO WIN NO FEE basis. So, there's nothing to lose.
