This page explains how the structured housing disrepair assessment process works, what information is commonly requested, and what may happen after submission.
The housing disrepair assessment is designed to collect structured information relevant to initial review. This commonly includes whether you are renting the property, the type of disrepair reported, whether the landlord has been notified, and how long the issue has been ongoing.
This page provides general information only and does not constitute legal advice. To submit information for review, use the Housing Disrepair Assessment.
The first stage involves providing structured information relevant to the property condition and your circumstances. Questions are designed to identify the type of issue involved and whether the basic criteria for initial review may be met.
This may include information about damp and mould, leaks, heating failure, unsafe electrics, infestation or other serious repair issues.
Once submitted, the information is reviewed against defined assessment criteria. This is intended to identify whether the matter appears suitable for further consideration based on the information available at that stage.
Review commonly considers:
If the matter appears suitable on initial review, it may proceed for further consideration. In some cases, additional information may be requested before any further step is taken.
If the information submitted does not indicate that the matter currently meets the relevant criteria, the assessment may not progress at that stage.
Although the initial process is designed to be straightforward, supporting records may assist later review. Depending on the issue, this may include photographs, repair requests, correspondence, inspection notes, contractor reports or other records showing how the matter developed over time.
Information submitted through the platform is handled confidentially and in line with the stated privacy framework. Submission is intended for assessment and review purposes only.
Submission of an assessment does not guarantee progression, outcome or follow-up. Each matter depends on the information provided and the result of the initial review process.
