Defective Boiler Compensation Claims
If you are suffering from boiler problems in your rented property, you need to inform your landlord as quickly as possible. By law, they are required to provide a home that is not in a state of disrepair whether they be private, council/local authorities or housing associations. If they fail to act after you’ve reported a boiler defect, you could have grounds to take legal action.
So, if you’re living in a home that is showing signs of boiler disrepair and you’ve reported the issue but your landlord has yet to take any action (within a reasonable amount of time) you could be eligible to make a claim to get your home fixed. Any boiler defect can prove extremely dangerous and could even lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Here at Been Let Down, we have a team of Solicitors who specialise in making defective boiler claims and any other type of claims relating to heating system disrepair. If you feel like you may be entitled to compensation for a faulty boiler in your rented property, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us today and we’ll do everything in our power to help you.
What are some of the effects of boiler disrepair?
- Leaks
- No hot water
- Lack of heating
- Strange noises/smells
Any of these consequences of a boiler defect can lead you to becoming ill or can result in damage to your possessions, which could have a knock-on effect of financial loss. If you’ve told your landlord about the problem and they’ve done nothing to fix the situation, you may be eligible to make a faulty boiler claim. Here at Been Let Down, we can help with that process.
