1st November 2017: 9am to 11.30am
Friends' Meeting House, Manchester

A combination of unscrupulous 'claim farmers' and poor procedures and record-keeping by landlords has led to a huge increase in successful disrepair claims.

With pay-outs and legal costs totalling up to £50,000 per case, the financial and reputational risks for housing providers are significant.

This free seminar will look at a series of pre-litigation steps Registered Providers can take to significantly reduce the number of successful disrepair claims, saving huge amounts of money and resources in the process.
