Warning: Website for Disrepair Compensation Lawyers claiming to be regulated by the SRA

2 May 2025

A website at 'housingdisrepaircompensationclaim.com' is operating claiming to be regulated by the SRA.

What is the scam?

The SRA has become aware that a website at 'housingdisrepaircompensationclaim.com' is operating and claiming to be regulated by the SRA.

The website provides a telephone number of '0203 393 9267' and an email address of 'info@housingdisrepaircompensationclaim'.

The website misuses a postal address of a genuine firm of solicitors (see below).

The SRA does not authorise and regulate a firm of solicitors called 'Disrepair Compensation Lawyers'.

Any business or transaction through the website at'housingdisrepaircompensationclaim.com' is not undertaken by a genuine individual or firm of solicitors.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a firm of solicitors called Sabz Solicitors LLP, a branch office of the firm is at First Floor, Lyndon House, 62 Hagley Rd. Birmingham B16 8PE. The telephone number for the firm is 0161 872 0808 and the firm email domain ends with @sabzsolicitors.co.uk.

Sabz Solicitors LLP has confirmed that they do not have any connection to the website above.  

What should I do?

When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
