Structural Problems Claims Solicitors in Cheltenham
If you’re dealing with structural issues in your property that have been neglected by your landlord or property manager, you may be entitled to compensation. At Pembridge Solicitors, we assist tenants across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire who have experienced serious structural problems in their homes — helping them take legal action against landlords who fail to maintain safe living conditions.
Structural problems can have a significant impact on your quality of life, and in some cases, they can pose a safety risk. Our team is here to help you hold your landlord accountable and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
What Are Structural Problems?
Structural problems refer to issues with the physical integrity of the property that affect its safety and habitability. These issues can include:
- Cracks in the walls, floors, or ceilings
- Roof damage or leaks
- Foundation issues leading to subsidence
- Damp penetration affecting the structural fabric of the building
- Rotting beams, joists, or timbers
- Dangerous or broken staircases
- Faulty windows and doors that compromise safety and security
Landlords have a legal duty to ensure that the property is safe and in good condition. If structural problems are left unaddressed, it can pose risks to your health and safety, and in some cases, it may be a violation of housing regulations.
What You Can Claim For
If your landlord has failed to address structural problems in your property, you may be entitled to:
- Compensation for any damage to your personal belongings caused by structural issues
- Compensation for pain and suffering if you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions
- Rent reductions or refunds for the period in which the property was uninhabitable
- Costs for repairs, cleaning, or alternative accommodation
- Legal costs for taking action against your landlord
