Local councils in England have significant powers to take action against unfit housing [and my own words rather than AI - have a duty to take action], primarily under the Housing Act 2004 and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018. These powers are used by environmental health or private sector housing teams and typically follow an assessment using the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) Here's more details from central government: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/homes-fitness-for-human-habitation-act-2018/guide-for-local-authorities-homes-fitness-for-human-habitation-act-2018 If Southwark are not responding, next port of call is your local councilor - having been at MP's surgeries a few times much of their constituency time will be taken up with issues like yours. The oven thing is just bizarre - reminds me of what landlords would do when I was a student. Shelter also provide guidance. You should serve notice on your landlord, but I'd go to Southwark at the same time https://www.southwark.gov.uk/housing/private-tenants-and-landlords/private-tenants/your-rights-and-responsibilities/unsafe-and Others may be able to advise on whether your house has to be licensed. If you change the title to "advice on unfit rented property" you may get more offering advice. Finally contact the Waterloo legal advice centre for free advice: https://www.lawworks.org.uk/legal-advice/individuals/waterloo-legal-advice-service Lawyers give up their time (pro bono) to help those in particular need. Good luck and keep this thread updated. -

There is an approved planning application (24/AP/0643) to reconfigure the site, keeping it as a builders merchants. I had thought that the one at the top of Railway Rise was going to move here once the dust has settled over that site being redeveloped. 24_AP_0643-PROPOSED_SITE_DEVELOPMENT-3956284.pdf
