Housing Disrepair

What is Housing Disrepair

At Complete Home Surveys, we are committed to providing accurate, independent, and legally compliant expert witness reports. Our expertise ensures that all parties receive fair and professional evaluations in housing disrepair disputes.

Key reasons to choose us include:

Common examples of housing disrepair include:

  • Damp and mould due to poor ventilation, inadequate heating or leaks
  • Structural damage such as subsidence, cracked walls, or faulty roofing
  • Plumbing and drainage issues, including persistent leaks and blocked drains
  • Faulty heating systems, leaving tenants without adequate warmth
  • Electrical hazards, such as faulty wiring or dangerous appliances
  • Pest infestations, due to structural defects
  • Unsafe flooring or staircases, increasing the risk of accidents

If a landlord fails to carry out necessary repairs after being notified, tenants have the right to seek legal action. In such cases, an expert witness report can provide the crucial evidence needed to support a claim.
