Housing disrepair
Housing Disrepair
Housing disrepair claims can be handled by solicitors if they have a tenant/claimant who is living in a rented property which has then fallen into a state of disrepair.
This means that they then may be able to make a claim against their landlord where the landlord/defendant is either a Housing Association or a Local Authority.
We are not able to provide cover where the defendant is a private landlord. If the said landlord has failed to repair identified faults or has not kept the property in a good condition, this will mean that the home becomes damaged.
All landlords have a legal obligation to maintain the structure and exterior of their property to a reasonable standard of repair and we understand that it can be very distressing for claimants when a landlord refuses to repair the property, meaning that living conditions for the claimant can deteriorate and seriously affect their quality of life.
If a landlord refuses to fix a property, a claimant can force them to do the required repair works and also claim for the appropriate compensation.
Claimants can receive compensation for a number of different reasons when bringing a housing disrepair claim for things such as damage to belongings, personal injury, and inconvenience that has have been caused by the disrepair.

Conveyancing Indemnities
As an experienced provider of ATE insurance to lawyers and their clients, we are well aware that the profession also has a need for other client-facing legal indemnities. One of the most frequent requests we get from solicitors is for legal indemnities for conveyancing transactions.
