Financial Redress

[jubileejane]

Any advice is welcome. I'm in private  rented property and seeking financial redress for non completion of works in house going back 3.5 years. Housing standards and ombudsmen involved. I have been asked to contact landlord for financial redress...i have in mind an amount, but wondered if anyone has had similar experience and what amount to ask for.

i dont have any experience but what is it you dont haave use of that you're paying for?

Apologies if this is a daft question but is this damage that has not been fixed or leaks broken windows etc?

I only ask because my landlord never did any repairs and we ended up leaving and was told there was no comeback

Impossible to say without knowing what problems you've been living with.  'Non completion of works' could be anything from missing wall lights to no bathroom and kitchen.

Thanks all, 

1. Toilet has not flushed properly since June 2020, and plunger needed to be used almost every day to unblock it.

2. Problems with gas boiler since Dec 2020 - pressure dropping every day

3. Shower unit "burst" in April 2023 - water came through kitchen celing.

4. Outside drain pipe blocked with water pooling in yard - I slipped in the yard
