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.
