Cheetham Hill is a vibrant part of North Manchester, full of culture, community spirit, and a deep love for football.
On weekends, parks like Crumpsall Park and Broughton Park come alive with kids chasing their dreams hoping to be the next Marcus Rashford or Phil Foden.
While Cheetham Hill doesn’t have its own professional club, locals proudly support Manchester United and Manchester City, with both stadiums just a short drive away.
Football Is Thriving But Housing Is Suffering
Even as football unites the community, many homes in Cheetham Hill are suffering from serious disrepair.
Each week, tenants contact us describing unsafe and unhealthy living conditions, such as:
- Severe damp and black mould, damaging clothes, furniture, and walls
- Leaking roofs, with rainwater dripping through light fittings — a serious safety risk
- Crumbling plaster and uneven floors, caused by structural neglect
- Condensation and poor ventilation, especially in older council and housing association flats
One tenant said they stopped inviting friends over to watch football because the mould smell and stains on the walls made them feel embarrassed.
No one should feel ashamed of their home.
Your Landlord’s Legal Responsibilities
If you rent your home from:
- A private landlord
- A housing association
- Or the local council
They are legally required to keep your property in a safe and habitable condition. This includes fixing:
- Damp and mould
- Leaks and water damage
- Structural issues
- Heating, insulation, and ventilation problems
If you’ve reported repairs and nothing has been done, you have the right to seek help.
Taking Action If Repairs Are Ignored
At Disrepair Support, we help tenants understand their rights and connect them with regulated housing disrepair solicitors who can advise whether they have a valid claim.
If your case is accepted by one of our partner solicitors, it may be handled on a no-win-no-fee basis — meaning you won’t pay anything upfront.
If your claim succeeds, a success fee may be deducted from any compensation awarded.
Can You Receive Compensation?
Compensation can sometimes be awarded for issues like damp, mould, leaks, and other disrepair-related problems.
The amount depends on factors such as:
- How long the problem has been ongoing
- The impact on your health, belongings, and quality of life
A solicitor will assess your situation and explain your options clearly before proceeding.
Everyone Deserves a Safe Home After the Match
Football brings people together — and after the game, every tenant deserves to return to a home that is warm, safe, and free from damp, leaks, and mould.
If your landlord isn’t making repairs, don’t struggle alone.
