A disrepair could include:
If you have a lease of less than 7 years, your landlord has statutory duty to keep the following in a state of repair:
- The exterior of your property.
- The installations for water, gas, electricity and sewage.
- Your heating and hot water.
They might have additional duties laid out in your tenancy agreement.
If they fail in their duties, despite being aware of the issues, you may be entitled to start proceedings to:
- Get the repairs done.
- Seek financial damages for your pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment.
- Seek financial damages for any property damaged or expenses incurred.
We are here to help you do this, as efficiently and effectively as possible.
We will do this by communicating with the landlord on your behalf, following the appropriate laws and regulations.
We can do this on a no-win no-fee basis (also known as a conditional fee agreement).
We work with industry leaders to allow you to take out ‘After the Event Insurance’ to help protect you from risk.
