Everyone wants their house to be a home, but this can be difficult if your landlord refuses to carry out repairs. Living in a state of disrepair will create stress and may even affect your health.
We can help stop that from happening by intervening on your behalf, whether the problem is a leaking roof or windows, cracking walls and subsidence, mould caused by damp, blocked drains or a broken-down boiler.
The law requires landlords to ensure their properties are fit to live in and in good condition. Very often our involvement means landlords who have ignored repeated requests to fix things respond straightaway.
If they don’t, we can force them to carry out the repairs by threatening them with court action. We can also make a claim for compensation for any distress and inconvenience caused by your landlord’s failure to carry out repairs.
Our solicitors are recognised as experts in this area and will deal with your issue sympathetically and on an individual basis. Where legal aid is not available, we may be able to take your case on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis.
