What is a Breach Claim
In most instances, a housing disrepair case ends once the landlord agrees to make the repairs and the solicitor’s fee is paid. BUT what happens if the landlord fails to make the repairs?
We don’t leave you alone!
We believe that your claim is not finished until ALL the works have been completed to a high standard.
We hold your landlord accountable to their agreement to fix your home.
We will even follow up for tenants who initially claimed via different solicitors.
If you have previously claimed but your landlord is still refusing or failing to repair your property then let us help you.
How does it work?
Breach claims offer continued support to clients who have already made a housing disrepair claim but the landlord has failed to carry out the repairs - even though the claim was successful!
At Sparrowhawk Legal we do not consider a claim completed until the works have been done. However, that is often not the case with other solicitors who may end the claim at the point they get paid.
This can leave clients back at square one having to issue another claim.
We can still help you if you originally claimed via another solicitor. If your landlord has not fulfilled their promise to repair your property at the end of a successful claim and your solicitors have not followed this up for you, then we can consider a breach of contract claim.
This means we can seek further compensation as well as forcing the Landlord to do the works to avoid having to keep paying out in compensation and costs. Essentially, it’s cheaper for them to just do the work they promised they would do in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact us if you have other questions.
Is a Breach Claim the same as a Housing Disrepair Claim?
No, they’re different. A breach claim is brought against a landlord who has ‘breached’ their contract to do the repairs on your property within the agreed timeframe or to the agreed standard.At Sparrowhawk, we do not consider a claim to be complete until the repairs are done and we will follow up with you and automatically issue a breach claim for those clients whose landlord breaches their contract.
What areas do you cover, do you only work in London?
Although our registered office is in London we can help you no matter where you live as we operate from a virtual office.
The repairs have been done but they are substandard
Landlords often try to cut corners and keep costs low by doing substandard work. This is a breach of their contract and we can claim against them to ensure that the works are to the correct, high standard.
This is a different claim, how much does it cost?
We offer breach claims on a no win no fee basis so you can get the legal support you need without any up-front payment needed for our services.
