What Is a Structural Damage Claim?

Structural damage is among the most serious forms of housing disrepair a tenant can face. Problems affecting the foundations, walls, roof, or load-bearing structure of a property can compromise its stability and, in extreme cases, make it dangerous to live in. A structural damage claim allows tenants to seek compensation when a landlord fails to properly investigate and repair these issues.

Structural problems can arise from subsidence, ground movement, failing foundations, roof damage, water ingress, or long-term neglect. Warning signs may include large or spreading cracks, sagging ceilings or floors, bowing walls, doors and windows that no longer fit their frames, and visible movement in the building. Left unaddressed, these issues rarely improve on their own — they tend to worsen, increasing both the danger and the eventual cost of repair.

Under UK law, landlords are responsible for keeping the structure and exterior of a rented property in good repair and ensuring it remains safe to live in. If you have reported signs of structural damage and your landlord has failed to take reasonable action within a reasonable time, you may be entitled to claim compensation and have the necessary repairs carried out. Our team helps tenants understand their rights and hold landlords to account.

Can You Make a Structural Damage Claim?

You may be eligible to make a structural damage claim if:

  • You live in a rented property (council, housing association, or private).
  • You reported signs of structural damage to your landlord or letting agent.
  • Your landlord failed to investigate or carry out repairs within a reasonable time.
  • The damage affected your safety, your belongings, or your ability to live comfortably.
  • You experienced inconvenience, distress, or financial loss as a result.

If these circumstances apply to you, our team can assess your case and explain your options. Keeping a record of when you reported the problem — along with dated photographs showing any changes over time — can strengthen your claim.

Structural Damage Claim FAQs

How much compensation can I get for structural damage?
Compensation depends on how serious the damage is, how long it went unrepaired, and its impact on your safety, comfort, and belongings. Serious structural problems that affect your ability to live safely in the property, or that damage your possessions, can increase the value of a claim. We’ll give you a realistic idea after assessing your case.
In most cases, yes. Landlords are responsible for keeping the structure and exterior of a rented property in good repair. Where structural damage arises from disrepair the landlord failed to investigate or fix within a reasonable time, they are usually responsible for putting it right.
Common signs include large or widening cracks, sagging ceilings or floors, bowing or leaning walls, doors and windows that stick or no longer fit, and visible movement in the building. If you notice these, it’s important to report them so they can be properly assessed and monitored.
Helpful evidence includes dated photographs showing the damage and any changes over time, copies of the reports or complaints you sent your landlord, and any surveyor, engineer, or repair reports relating to the property.
