My father’s house was flooded by the next door neighbour, we contacted Lambeth Council (the landlord) and explained what had happened. After multiple attempts to get the council to sort out the issues within the property, without any success. One of my Father’s neighbours who had suffered a similar situation gave him the number for Resolute Legal. I called them that week and explained everything, they then assigned me a Caseworker who went by the name of Mr Uzondu. From the very beginning Mr Uzondu was extremely helpful and showed lots of empathy towards my Father’s situation.He was professional and kept me updated throughout the entire process.Last month he successfully managed to get the council to complete the disrepair to the property and secured compensation for my Father.

Resolute Legal boasts a well-established housing disrepair division. According to Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, landlords with tenancies lasting less than seven years are obligated to maintain the structure and exterior of the dwelling, along with various installations for water, gas, electricity, sanitation, space heating, and water heating. In addition to these statutory duties, landlords also have contractual obligations outlined in the tenancy agreement.
If you suspect that your landlord has failed to fulfil these responsibilities, you may have grounds to initiate County Court proceedings to compel them to carry out the necessary repairs, along with seeking damages. Resolute Legal can offer guidance throughout the housing disrepair process, including expert advice and assistance in navigating any technical defences that may arise.See more
