Expert Witness

If your property is in a state of disrepair, it can be difficult to get your landlord to take action.  This can make it difficult to live in your home and can also affect your health. If you are a tenant and your landlord is not carrying out repairs, you may be able to claim compensation.

Most tenants are not aware of their rights under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and do not know what to do if their landlord does not meet their obligations. This can lead to tenants living in substandard conditions and not getting the repairs they are entitled to.

 

Under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Landlords are responsible for meeting specified basic conditions and repairing obligations.

 

Where they do not, tenants can claim against them for specific performance of their obligations and, occasionally, for compensation. 

We can provide a Survey to identify items of disrepair, commenting on whether the requirements of Section 11 are met.

 

Ordinarily, we would do this, working with solicitors on a joint expert witness basis.

Your landlord's responsibilities include:

  • Faulty heating

  • Vegetation growth

  • Leaking roof

  • Damp and mould

  • Unsafe flooring

  • Unsafe stairs

  • Rising damp

  • Vermin in the building

  • External drainage

  • Plumbing problems

  • Rotting windows

  • Damaged/worn brickwork
