Housing

BLM has extensive experience of housing claims resulting from the many instructions received from housing associations, local authorities, private landlords and household insurers. We handle claims covering:

• housing disrepair and the Landlord & Tenant Act
• defence of private prosecutions by tenants
• floods
• fires
• rent and accommodation issues such as succession rights and transfer of property
• advice on rental agreements
• repossession matters.

As well as claims handling, we also advise on liability issues including recovery prospects in private and public nuisance, negligence or breach of contract. The team actively promotes risk management through the preparation of risk assessment documentation and provides clients with seminars aimed at providing protection from the possibility of future claims.
