The process

An experienced Chartered Surveyor will inspect the property and prepare a detailed Part 35 expert report assessing the alleged disrepair. The report will consider whether the defects arise from breaches of the landlord’s repairing obligations under the tenancy agreement, the implied covenants contained within Sections 9A, 10 and 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, and/or actionable defects under Section 4 of the Defective Premises Act 1974.

The inspection covers both the interior and exterior of the property. Each item of disrepair is individually assessed, with the report providing an expert opinion on causation, supporting photographs and a detailed schedule of recommended remedial works and associated costs, presented in a Scott Schedule.
