  • Council tenants in England whose homes are plagued by leaking roofs, subsidence, damp and mould are turning to legal firms for help.
    (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
    We’ve been investigating these disrepair claims.
    There’s 4 million estimated social homes in England.
    They’re getting old - many of built in the mid 20th century - and as councils struggle to keep up with repairs, ‘no-claims’ solicitors have been getting involved.
    Freedom of Information data obtained by Channel 4 News from 50 English Councils, shows since 2020, nearly 17 thousand legal claims have been made by social tenants, through solicitors, against their council because of the conditions they’re living in.

      Because what they do is evict the tenant has soon as they make the complaint. You have to give landlord reasonable time to fix it, which means that you can't sue until atleast 3-6 months is given. So to bridge this gap they evict you, remarket the property and the cycle continues.

    I worked with the council, and I have seen how corrupt they are. Here is what I suspect, and it should be investigated. They send their contractors to repair the work, but they never inspect the work the contractor completes. They even know the contractors are charging extremely high prices for a repair job, for example, replacing a vintage tap with a cheap £20 one, which works for a few months but charges over £150 for it and then the cost of labour etc etc. Councils pay high prices for simple jobs which could have been done properly at a much cheaper price.
    I suspect the staff will take a cut from the contractors. If you raise the issues of corrupt contractors, you are suppressed. Even the contractor labourers say they know the job they are instructed to do is shoddy, but that's what they were instructed. It's like syndicates where everyone makes money on the cost of the tenants. They particularly target single mums and older tenants.
    It's good that the wolfs are after them.

      I suspect you are right. Thankyou for raising your suspicions. I live in a council house. My boiler has been condemned. It would cost £150 in parts to repair, which I have offered to pay for myself. However, my council landlord and the heating contractors are insisting I have a whole new electric system fitted, at a cost of thousands. I've been without heating since January as I just want the £150 repair done on my boiler. I'm a council tax payer. I'm trying to save the council money! But, unfortunately, it seems I'm not allowed and the heating contractors will get the big job of a complete install as I cannot get permission to pay a local company to do the repair.
      My new roof also leaks and directs rainwater into the wall cavity so the internal kitchen wall is permanently wet. There was no inspection of my roof after the contractors got their money. My old roof didn't leak.
      I try to do most repairs myself because the contractors are awful but the roof and boiler I'm unable to do.

    And this goes for housing association properties too. What about the private contractors they use to complete the repairs who are often owned or partly owned by the directors of the housing associations? They charge THOUSANDS for work on properties that should cost only a fraction. So these directors are using their own private companies to complete repairs at inflated prices meaning there's less money for work on other properties. They were sold properties from councils for £1 so they would invest in repairing old housing stock but all they have done is milk the system leaving tenants in homes that aren't fit for purpose.

    Council housing like that brings on social service agencies at the door with respect to the children that live in such conditions. I wonder if this video has had people call on the mother of her daughters profiled in this video to social services because of the conditions. Conditions like that here in the states would put a child in care over a neglect reason. Doesn't matter if it was a landlord's responsibility or not. Parents are expected to be perfect to keep social service workers out of their lives.

    The issue here is simple, there are too many people and not enough facilities and services to go around. Regards to camp and mould, there gets to a point where contractors and the council can do no more, because that house needs tearing down and rebuilding, there’s not enough homes due to the housing crisis and so they cannot tear down and rebuild the property because then the tenant has nowhere to go. I don’t think suing the council is the right way forward and it certainly is counterproductive. Councils are already going bankrupt as it is. We need more homes, and more apprenticeships available with attractive wages to train up an in house repairs team for the council.

    Its not just council houses it is private iswell. They don't want to repair the houses. These places are not fit for animals let alone humans. Vulnerable children are diying . There needs to be more protection for tenants. A Docter will explain the severe health implications its no joke . The council and landlords need to do better

      You will also find repairs are just a quick cover up when indeed there are major costly problems,like needing a new roof ,subsidence to old buildings,rising damp one thing leads to another costly repair ! The problem sometimes lies in the cost of maintaining these very old buildings especially if you privately own one and having no funds for major repairs!

    Simply means councils will now reduce housing stock levels even further. Agreed the standards need to be acceptable, but this will simply increase street homelessness 😢, and encourage profiteering - I wonder why PRS landlords are not persued…. 🤔 . Councils in the UK have been underfunded in the Housing sector for decades. Its about time Central Government took this issue seriously 🤦‍♂️

      If there’s not enough homes to buy or way too expensive why not rent?
      And if you can rent off the council why not? Still has to be paid for by the tenant, not everyone is out of work in council properties.
