What Is A Housing Disrepair Survey?

Housing disrepair encompasses the various issues that can classify a property being in poor condition, with thee risk of damage to the property, the health of residents or tenants, or financial implications.

A housing disrepair survey is an assessment conducted to evaluate the condition of a residential property, identifying defects and issues affecting its safety and habitability.

It involves a thorough inspection of various components to pinpoint instances of disrepair, such as dampness, leaks, and decay. An evaluation of the level of these risks will be made, and a detailed report is created, outlining findings and what can be done to fix any issues.

Responsibilities of Landlords & Tenants

Both tenants and landlords have a duty of care towards the property by law. Tenants are responsible for daily upkeep, a good level of cleanliness, and dealing with minor maintenance or decorating. Landlords have a greater responsibility, and are responsible for the structure and exterior of the property, plumbing, electrics, and the central heating systems.

When Would I Need A Housing Disrepair Survey?

Housing disrepair surveys are commissioned by tenants, landlords, or legal representatives to address concerns and ensure the property meets health and safety standards.

What To Expect from a Housing Disrepair Survey

To conduct a housing disrepair survey, we will visit the premises to identify necessary repairs, and assess whether charges are applicable for any property damage incurred during a tenancy.

A disrepair survey report will then be created, outlining issues and recommendations for repairs. If needed a revisit following the property updates can made, to ensure repairs have been completed.

Importance of a Housing Disrepair Survey Report

Housing disrepair survey reports are an extremely useful tool for landlords, tenants, and property managers, to keep properties safe and up to standard.

Landlords depend on these reports to mitigate risks associated with their investment and to pinpoint any potential hazards requiring attention.

Tenants can use a disrepair report to evaluate the condition of their home and indicate any essential repairs needed. They can also assist in evaluating a property’s condition before moving in, identifying potential health or safety concerns, and even negotiating rental agreements if non-urgent repairs are identified.

Property managers might require a housing disrepair report when preparing to sell or lease a property. This aids in identifying any issues requiring attention before marketing a property, ensuring compliance with legal requirements. Property managers also rely on these reports to uphold the maintenance standards of properties under their management.

Hear From Our Customers

I got ASL to provide a valuation on a property I was purchasing and following their advice I was made aware of a number of repairs which resulted in a lower valuation than the agreed purchase price. I was able to negotiate a new purchase price saving £12,000. The service was quick, efficient and friendly.

Cannot fault the service received from Nick at ASL Surveyors. He ensured that the whole process was quick, efficient and stress free. I had my report back within a few days so I honestly couldn’t recommend him and this company enough. Thank you!!

I used ASL for my recent home purchase. Complete transparency and efficient communication was achieved throughout. I received my full report in a timely fashion and couldn’t recommend the company more to anyone looking to use their services.

We recently agreed a private sale on a bungalow in Gateacre, as there was no agent involved, we were advised to at least get a Home Survey. Gabriella arranged this quickly and we received the report a couple of days after the survey was done. It was really detailed but explained perfectly and the scoring system allowed us to understand it better. We had a couple of questions which James answered on a phone call a few days after. Excellent service throughout, thanks to all involved.

As a firm we highly recommend ASL Chartered Surveyors, rely on their service and we will continue to do so in the future. We have used ASL Chartered Surveyors for our housing disrepair clientele and they always deliver in accordance with the protocol. We are confident in the service ASL Chartered Surveyors provides, and we have always found them to be reliable, approachable and professional – they never hesitate to assist us and indeed our clients with any queries we may have collectively throughout the process.

I can’t fault the service we received and have had a really positive experience with the company. The guys carried out an extensive search on our property and provided a thorough report. On moving in we noticed a couple of issues that we wanted some more information on and contacted them to advise. Mal and Danny came straight out to do another check and were extremely friendly and helpful and gave us some useful tips on how to solve the issues. The service has been very professional and they are clearly a very reputable company to make a second visit and reassure us.
