Legal Disrepair

We have the skills and expertise to work on legal disrepair claims and are currently supporting several Housing Associations dealing with an overwhelming number of claims across their stock.


Our invaluable support includes carrying out surveys at the initial inspection, to the sign-off of completed remediation works by contractors.


The process we follow tends to include:
• Initial site visit to validate the claim for disrepair a resident has made through a solicitor
• Compile a recommended schedule of works to address the disrepair and agree this with the resident’s solicitor and our client’s solicitor
• Meet the client’s contractor on site to talk through the work
• Handle any variations and sign off the completed works as satisfactory and compliant

Typical disrepair includes defect windows and rooves on older property and latent defects including leaks on newer properties.
