Get in TouchCall 07421 997067A housing disrepair survey is an independent inspection of a residential property to identify defects that a landlord is legally obliged to remedy under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
Our reports document all items of disrepair, their severity, likely cause and the remedial works required. They are fully compliant with CPR Part 35 and suitable for use in legal proceedings.
Under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, your landlord has a legal obligation to keep the structure and exterior of your home in repair, and to maintain installations for water, gas, electricity and heating in working order.
If your landlord has failed to carry out repairs after being notified in writing, you may have a legal claim for housing disrepair and compensation.
A housing disrepair survey provides the independent, documented evidence needed to support a legal claim for repairs and compensation.
A successful claim can result in compensation for the disrepair, personal injury, damage to belongings and associated financial losses.
