A housing repair breach claim is a legal action for tenants that arises when a landlord fails to carry out agreed repairs within the stipulated timeframe, or to the required standard.
A housing repair breach claim is fundamentally different from a standard housing disrepair claim.
Housing repair claims are a breach of contract, or settlement claim, and can only be brought after the landlord has already agreed to make repairs, either privately or through a legal agreement.
The primary objective is to ensure the promised repairs are completed and to seek further compensation for delays and the continued inconvenience caused.

While many housing repair breach solicitors consider a case resolved once the landlord agrees to carry out the repairs, this is not always the true end of the story. Unfortunately, tenants often find themselves in a difficult position if their landlord fails to complete the agreed-upon repairs within the required timeframe. At this point, our specialist enforcement team can help.
