Cavity Wall Insulation Failure
Cavity wall insulation is designed to enhance energy efficiency, but it can fail in unsuitable properties, particularly those exposed to severe wind-driven rainfall. Common symptoms of failure include damp patches, mould growth, peeling paint, and structural damage. At Redfearn Experts, we specialise in assessing cavity wall insulation issues, using advanced equipment to identify risks and produce expert witness reports. With thousands of evaluations conducted, our experienced team provides tailored solutions and clear evidence for property owners.
Leasholder Claims
In tenancy agreements, standard repair covenants require tenants to maintain the leased premises in good condition, often leading to disputes over repair responsibilities. To limit these obligations, tenants can use a Schedule of Condition, which documents the property's state before lease commencement, identifying pre-existing defects. This agreement benefits both landlords and tenants by clarifying responsibilities and reducing misunderstandings. At Redfearn Experts, we specialise in creating detailed Schedules of Condition and providing expert evidence for legal support regarding repair claims.
Dilapidations Surveys
A Dilapidation Survey is a detailed assessment of a building's condition, covering the physical structure, plumbing, drainage, roofing, windows, and decorative elements. Typically conducted during a lease term or at tenancy's end, it clarifies repair obligations and helps prevent disputes between landlords and tenants. This survey serves as a crucial legal document, protecting both parties by documenting the property's state. At Redfearn Experts, we specialise in comprehensive dilapidation surveys, ensuring you understand your responsibilities and safeguarding your investment.
Environmental Protection Act / s82
S82 claims under the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) allow individuals and businesses to seek compensation for damage caused by pollution or environmental harm. If you’ve experienced loss due to breaches of environmental regulations, you may be entitled to pursue a claim. Our sister company, Redthorn Consultants offers expert EPO reports to solicitors pursuing and landlords defending such claims.
