Housing Disrepair
Claims against landlords: Mould, defective appliances, water damage and more can create dangerous and un-liveable conditions. Your council, housing association or landlord is obligated to ensure your accommodation is free from disrepair. Claims against cavity wall installers: Incorrectly installed cavity wall insulation can also lead to disrepair including mould and dampness.
