Housing Disrepair Compensation Calculator

If your landlord has failed to fix issues such as damp, mould, leaks or heating problems, you may be able to claim compensation. Learn more about how claims work on our housing disrepair page.

Use this calculator to estimate a possible compensation range for housing disrepair. This is a guide only. Actual compensation depends on evidence, liability, severity, rent level, duration, health impact, and whether children or multiple occupants were affected.

The estimate is based on rent reduction style calculations often used in disrepair claims.
Health impact, children affected, and multiple occupants can increase the likely range.
More serious issues such as damp and mould, leaks, heating failure, and structural defects often support stronger claims.

Check if you may qualify

A quick assessment can confirm whether your housing disrepair case looks suitable and what evidence may strengthen it.

How this calculator works

The estimate starts with a basic model: monthly rent × months affected × severity multiplier. It then applies modest uplift factors where there is reported health impact, more than one occupant affected, children affected, or issue types commonly associated with serious loss of amenity.
