I need some advice...


I have a property outside of London which I let out.

We have a Property Management Company and I don't think they are maintaining the property as they should.


I've told them about the roof leaking over a long period of time, but recently it actually collapsed into one of the rooms. After a significant amount of time, it was finally fixed but I now need to repair the room and furnishings which were damaged.


They have said they have no liability as they fixed the roof but I want to claim damages. They said I wouldn't win and to be prepared to cover their legal fees.


It's all in writing...



Thanks

as a landlord, you will have insurance - make a claim with your insurer and they will instigate the investigation as to liability.


Also get a lawyer on the case- again, a decent insurance policy should have some access to legal advice as a minimum

well, funnily Sue - I'm trying but it seems that some of the other owners don't understand what's going on (ie what building maintenance means) or they're a bit intimidated.



I'm actually looking for recommendations for a tenacious lawyer who will actually sort it out (rather than a wishy-washy one)..


It might mean the issue extends to the Directors as well (I'm a shareholder, being a FH owner of one flat)

This forum is good for queries

.I don't know if they would recommend a suitable lawyer but I'm sure they'd point you in the right direction .


The Property MC sound rather like bullies to me . I assume if you're a shareholder that there's a Residential Management Company .You could look them up on Company House and see what the asccounts are like ,be good to know if there's money at hand to do work .

The preceding post here will probably be populated in a few days with another website URL he's currently being paid to make look popular and respectable.

    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
    • It’s hardly likely you know that for a fact Sue
    • I know an instance where the foxes quickly learned how to avoid such devices. 
    • I did read the comments above It's not moaning, it's stating facts. Tell you what,  you can come and clear up the near daily fox crap and see how you like dealing with it, no didn't think that would appeal to you.  Do they control rodents?  Foxes are vermin.  It's an emotive topic for some, I realise that, however the facts are foxes are a pest.
