Leaseholder Disrepair Claims
Protect Your Property & Recover Costs

Managing Agent or Freeholder ignoring damp, mould, structural defects, roof leaks or major works issues? We specialise in leaseholder disrepair claims and service charge disputes on a No Win No Fee basis.

YOUR RIGHTS AS A LEASEHOLDER

Leaseholders Have Strong Legal Protections

As a leaseholder or shared owner, you have the right to a well-maintained building. Freeholders and managing agents must repair structural defects, damp, mould, roof issues, and common parts. We help you challenge unreasonable service charges and force necessary repairs.

Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, and recent reforms, you can claim disrepair costs back and even apply for a new managing agent if standards are poor.
