Disrepair refers to faults or damage in your home that the Council is legally responsible for fixing. This includes problems affecting your safety, health, or ability to use your home normally. Examples include leaks, damp, mould, broken boilers, unsafe wiring, or structural damage.
Mansfield District Council has acknowledged that more work is needed to monitor and resolve these types of problems fully. Although it meets many regulatory requirements, some tenants have reported delays in repairs, poor communication, or recurring issues that are marked as resolved but remain unfixed.
If you are experiencing similar issues and have already reported them to the Council, you may be entitled to make a claim. Our solicitors will review your case, arrange inspections, gather evidence, and manage all legal steps. All claims are handled on a no-win, no-fee basis.

The Housing Ombudsman is a free and independent service that investigates complaints made by tenants of social landlords, including Mansfield District Council. If you have followed the Council’s complaints process and are still unhappy with the outcome, you can refer your case to the Ombudsman.
The Ombudsman can recommend that the Council carry out repairs, apologise, or offer compensation; however, their decisions are not legally binding, which means the Council is not required to follow them.
Legal action through a solicitor is different. It allows you to take your case to court and request a legally binding repair order and compensation. If you want an enforceable result, legal support may be the best route.
If you are living in a Mansfield District Council home with unresolved disrepair, you do not need to keep waiting. Legal help is available; you only pay if your case succeeds.

If the issue is not resolved, you can refer it to the relevant independent Ombudsman service for free.
