Case Study

Successful Housing Disrepair Claim - £5,000

A tenant in a council-owned, two-bedroom flat reported a kitchen leak in 2000, which weakened the floorboards.
These eventually broke in 2015, causing the tenant to fall into a void and further damage the flooring.
The landlord’s initial response was inadequate, merely placing a loose chipboard over the holes without proper installation.
A surveyor suggested replacing the damaged floorboards and insulation, installing new chipboard flooring, and finishing with polysafe vinyl covering and a new sink cupboard.
Following negotiations, the landlord agreed to complete these repairs within 90 days and awarded the tenant £5,000 in compensation for the incident and subsequent inconvenience.

Please Note: You do not need to use a claims management company or solicitor to make your complaint about your property. You can complain to your landlord or housing association directly, and if your complaint is not successful you can refer it to the Housing Ombudsman for free if it falls under their remit.
