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

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.
