Do your Soham housing disrepair lawyers & solicitors assist tenants in Soham?

Yes, our housing disrepair solicitors in Soham can assist council and housing association tenants with no-win-no-fee legal representation.

If you lease your home, your council or social housing association landlord is legally required to make repairs. It’s aggravating if your landlord won’t do maintenance on the house, and we understand how important it is to live in a safe environment.

If your landlord refuses to address issues in your property, you may be able to claim housing disrepair compensation and get a court order forcing them to do so.

If a property is in bad shape, it implies that it needs to be restored in order for it to be deemed safe and suitable to live in. This usually applies to leased homes as well as any other type of rented accommodation.

If you rent a home and it is in poor condition, you can seek compensation for any discomfort, inconvenience, or suffering you have endured. If you live in a rented house as a tenant, your landlord has to fulfil the following requirements:

• Your home is in a good state of repair structurally
• There is no rising damp and mould in the property
• You have access to safe electricity, gas, and water
• You have working hygiene facilities, such as toilets, basins, sinks
• Your home is free from vermin and infestations
• You have a working heating system
• Your drains and gutters are working correctly
• Your roof is intact and safe

If any of the above is an issue for you and your home, you may be eligible to claim compensation and force your landlord to carry out repairs.
