The short answer unfortunately is still yes. Whilst there are some changes to the law coming which means landlords will not be able to evict you if you're not at fault, those changes still have yet to come into force and landlords can and will still evict as a means of retalliation.
We help private tenants on the same basis as council and housing association tenants - no win no fee. This means you do not pay anything up front and only pay for our services when your claim is successful.
You can claim compensation for living in a property that is in disrepair, along with any damages for personal items that have been damaged and any injury to your health due to the disrepair.
The main focus of a housing disrepair claim is to get your property repaired to the highest possible standards (not your landlord's standard). Compensation depends on the severity of the disrepair and how long you have been complaining about it. It varies on a case by case basis.
You need to have informed your landlord of the disrepair and given them a reasonable amount of time to make those repairs. If they are ignoring you or refusing to repair then providing you still live in the property and can prove that you have notified the landlord then you can make a claim.
Yes, it can make a difference to your claim. If you are not paying rent (even if you believe that withholding rent is fair due to the poor state of your property) you are in breach of your tenancy agreement and your landlord can evict you.
Greetings, fellow art enthusiasts, jewellery lovers, and those just here because they clicked on the wrong link! Today, I present to you my latest fused glass collection, lovingly inspired by the ocean—though, let’s be clear, not the grey, moody sludge masquerading as “the sea” here in Lytham St Annes. No, I had something more…exotic in mind. Picture warm turquoise waters, vibrant coral reefs, and the kind of ocean where your toes don’t freeze off the second you step in - much like the sea in St Lucia, where I will shortly be jetting off to.
The collection is a journey—literally a glassy descent into the ocean. It begins with pendants inspired by where the water gently kisses the shoreline. Think soft blues, whites, and the occasional whisper of seafoam green. The shallows and coral reefs follow, with textures and tones that (almost) make you believe you can hear the splash of a clownfish darting by.
As we dive deeper into this whimsical aquatic dream, the pendants grow bolder, chunkier, and, frankly, full of bubbles. Yes, bubbles. Not the “oh-no-my-glass-blew-up-in-the-kiln” kind but intentional ones that capture the essence of the deep sea, where things get darker, mysterious, and let’s be honest, a bit trippy. Because if you’ve made it this far into the ocean, you’re probably hallucinating—or in my case, experimenting with glass layering.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: this isn’t a sentimental love letter to the local coastline. The inspiration for these pieces is firmly rooted in fantasy. After all, no one ever walked along our beach and thought, “Wow, I wish I could immortalise this stunning shade of muddy brown in jewellery form.” This is escapism, pure and simple—a glassy portal to oceans you’d actually want to dive into.
So, whether you’re a fan of the frothy shallows or prefer the moody depths, there’s a pendant for you in this collection. They’re small slices of an ocean that exists only in my head—and, now, around your neck. Dive in!
