Disrepair Claims & Counterclaims for Private Landlords

Your need...
 

You may have received a letter of claim from your tenant, alleging disrepair, or be met with a counterclaim within possession proceedings.

A disrepair claim by a tenant can be an expensive exercise for a landlord – resulting in orders to carry out works, to pay compensation and court costs. Even a spurious claim can do financial damage.

How we can help...
 

We have extensive experience of both bringing, and defending claims for disrepair. We understand the implications of proceedings, the technical evidence required, and how to respond robustly to claims to minimise exposure to risk. Alternative Dispute Resolution (Mediation) can be a useful tool to avoid expensive litigation.

Trust us...
 

We have worked alongside Chartered Surveyors, Architects, Structural Engineers and Environmental Health Officers to defend claims with a high degree of success.
