Housing repairs - rechargeable repairs

 

                                              

Please be advised that we do not bear the cost of all repairs to your property. Where tenants - or visitors to their property - have caused damage (eg broken window) or been negligent (eg locked out of property) we will charge for the cost of works to rectify the problem.

When you request a repair, you will be advised whether it is rechargeable.

The contractor will ask you to sign a copy of a form which outlines the works carried out and the cost. An invoice will subsequently be raised for which you will be liable. It is possible to pay for recharged repairs by installments, we will advise you of the procedure on request.

It is possible that you might be able to claim back the cost of any rechargeable repair through your personal contents insurance. It is up to you to check your policy details to see if you are covered for accidental damage.
