Read this first

These are not all the decisions about this landlord. They are the ones in our set, which was chosen because the complaints concerned damp, leaks, heating or pests. The number here says how many we read, not how many exist, and it cannot be compared with the number on another landlord’s page.

Each finding describes how one complaint was handled at one time. It is not a statement about how this landlord operates today, and it is not a verdict on the organisation.

About this landlord

This landlord is a council. It owes the same core repairing duties as any landlord, and because it is also the local authority, your routes differ from a private tenant’s — the council generally cannot serve enforcement notices on its own homes.

It owned 11,983 homes in the 2024–25 Local Authority Housing Statistics return (London, ONS code E09000013).

For how the routes work when your landlord is a council, see council housing disrepair claims.

If this is your landlord

A decision about someone else’s complaint does not decide yours, and it is not evidence in your case. What it does show is that the route works and what it can produce. The free routes come first, and they cost nothing: report the repair in writing, use the landlord’s formal complaints process, and then escalate free to the Housing Ombudsman.

Whether a legal claim is also possible depends on your own facts. Our overview of housing disrepair claims explains what one involves.
