*We may receive a fee for introducing you to a third party solicitor, this does not affect any compensation you may receive. A cancellation fee may be charged by a third party/panel solicitor if you cancel outside the cooling off period based on the time spent on your claim. *Where the service is offered at No win no Fee, this means that a customer will typically pay 25% Inclusive of VAT of any amount recovered by a panel solicitor although this will be subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be less than this but it will never be more. However all repairs will be paid in full. You do not need to use a claims management company to make a disrepair claim, you can do this yourself for free and if not successful you may be able to refer your claim to the Housing Ombudsman.
