Living with unresolved disrepair can make everyday life difficult and can have a significant effect on your health, comfort, and well-being. Tenants in Affordable or Shared Housing should not have to put up with problems that their landlord has failed to address.

We will work to ensure your property is restored to a safe and habitable standard while also seeking any compensation you are entitled to under UK law.

We offer a free initial consultation with no obligation to proceed. Where appropriate, we can also act on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning you will not have to pay our legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If Bromford Housing has been made aware of serious disrepair but has failed to resolve it, our team is ready to help.

Understanding Bromford Housing Disrepair Claims

Bromford Housing tenants are entitled to live in homes that are kept in a reasonable state of repair and are fit for occupation. Where defects are left unresolved, essential systems stop working, or the condition of the property is allowed to deteriorate, this may amount to housing disrepair.

For tenants in Affordable or Shared Housing, unresolved repair problems can affect both the condition of the home and whether it remains suitable for everyday use. Bromford Housing has legal responsibilities to deal with repair issues that fall within its obligations as a landlord, particularly once it has been made aware that a problem exists.

The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 requires landlords to keep key parts of rented properties in repair, including the structure and exterior, as well as installations for water, sanitation, heating, and hot water. The Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 also requires rented homes to remain fit for people to live in. Depending on the circumstances, disrepair may include:

  • Heating systems & defective boilers: Broken boilers, recurring heating faults, or problems with communal systems can leave tenants without essential services and may require urgent attention.
  • Damp and mould: Water penetration, defective roofing, damaged brickwork, poor insulation, or other building defects can contribute to ongoing damp and mould problems.
  • Defects affecting access or safety: Problems with communal doors, lighting, lifts, pathways, handrails, or other shared facilities can make parts of a development unsafe or difficult to use.
  • Leaks and plumbing: Leaking pipes, faulty plumbing, blocked drainage, or sanitation defects can cause further damage if the underlying fault is not properly repaired.
  • Pest and vermin Infestation: Where pests are entering because of holes, gaps, damaged building materials, or defects in communal parts of the property, the landlord may be responsible for addressing the source of the infestation.

Reporting the problem to Bromford Housing is an important part of establishing that the landlord has had an opportunity to investigate and arrange repairs. What counts as a reasonable period for action will depend on the seriousness of the defect, the level of risk involved, and the work required to put it right.

Bromford Housing indicates that emergency repairs should be attended to within 24 hours. Where a serious problem has been reported but has not been dealt with appropriately, you may be able to take legal action to require the necessary repairs and pursue compensation through a Bromford Housing Disrepair Claim.
