Earn £350 when you recommend a friend
If we have helped you with a housing disrepair claim and a friend or family member is living with problems their landlord will not fix, tell them about us. If they instruct us and their case settles in their favour, we will pay you a recommendation fee of £350, subject to the scheme terms below.
How the scheme works
Recommend us to a friend or family member
Tell them we can help, and tell them that you will receive a £350 fee from us if their case settles. The scheme is for people you know, not the public.
They contact us directly
Your friend gets in touch with us themselves, emails us photographs of the disrepair, and tells us you recommended them within 14 days of first contacting us.
You receive £350
The fee is payable once the case settles in your friend's favour and legal costs of at least £1,000 are payable by the landlord. We will contact you to arrange payment.
Who can take part
The scheme is open to established clients of Antony Hodari Solicitors, recommending as individuals. It applies only to your friends and family and must not be offered to people you do not know. It is not available to businesses, claims management companies, or anyone introducing clients in the course of a business. We pay for a maximum of ten recommendations in any calendar year.
What your friend needs to do
- Contact us directly: call 0345 504 0005, message us on WhatsApp, or complete the enquiry form on this page. We are prohibited by law from paying a fee if you pass your friend's details to us; they must make contact themselves
- Email photographs of the disrepair to info@antonyhodari.co.uk. You can send these on their behalf if that is easier
- Tell us they were recommended by you, giving your full name, within 14 days of first contacting us
Being open with your friend
We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Our advice to your friend will be impartial and will not be affected or influenced by your recommendation. We are under no obligation to accept a recommended case, and once your friend is our client our duty of confidentiality means we cannot update you on how their case is progressing.

- The fee is payable only once the case has settled in your friend's favour and legal costs of at least £1,000 are payable by the defendant
- No fee is payable if only small claims costs are awarded
- No fee is payable if your friend or Antony Hodari Solicitors ends the retainer before the claim settles
- We will contact you to arrange payment once the conditions are met
