Repairs

Certain shared ownership leases will come with a £500 per year repairs allowance for the first 10 years. This is designed to cover the cost of repairs identified as eligible in your lease. This would include; 

• Installations in the flat or house for making use of the supply of water, gas and electricity and for sanitation (including basins, sinks, baths and sanitary conveniences, but not other fixtures, fittings and appliances for making use of the supply of water, gas or electricity)
• Installations in the flat or house for space heating and heating water

 

The repairs allowance cannot be used for the installation of fittings such as cabinets, lights, mirrors, furniture etc. The allowance cannot be claimed for anything covered under warranty, insurance policies or guarantees.

Please refer to the documents given to you upon completion for further information, such as the guarantees/warranties. If you feel that your repair does fulfil the repairs criteria, please fill in the form and attach any pictures and any cost of work if available.

If you feel a fault or repair that falls under the repairs allowance requirements is needed, please fill in the form below and attach relevant pictures and cost quotes if available.
