Housing disrepair in Somerset: The facts

Housing disrepair is a significant issue for Somerset tenants, impacting health and quality of life. Here are some key statistics relevant to Somerset residents:

• In 2019/20, Somerset recorded 3,285 emergency hospital admissions for falls among people aged 65 and over, with many linked to housing disrepair issues like uneven flooring or damp conditions.
• The English Housing Survey 2022/23 reported that 7% of local authority renters in the South West, including Somerset, lived in homes with dampness, often leading to claims for health-related compensation.
• Nationally, housing disrepair claims against social landlords rose by 132% from 2017/18 to 2020/21, with Somerset councils like South Somerset and Somerset West and Taunton facing increasing claims for issues like mould and leaks.

These figures highlight the need for expert legal support. Marley Solicitors is dedicated to helping Somerset tenants secure repairs and compensation for housing disrepair.
