Shared ownership property repairs responsibilty

[Gordy]

Apologies if this is in the wrong section as i couldn't find one more suitable. If this is the case could you please point me in the right direction.

 

Ive been recently talking to a friend who has a shared ownership flat wherby they pay mortgage and rent. We discussed a number of repairs that she had paid out for herself which i thought maybe the landlord (radian housing) could possibly have been responsible for and had maybe misinformed her.

 

If this is the relevant forum section then id like to ask for advice and or experience on the matter from those more in the know.

 

Many thanks.

I suspect she may have to refer to her lease or Radian Housing’s website at: http://www.radian.co.uk/radian-home/repairs-improvements/report-repair/152-repairs-improvements-web#LeaRepRes

I suspect that she’ll be responsible for any and all repairs within her own property but RH would be responsible for repairs to the structure of the building and communal areas.

Thanks. Without going into complete specifics the items were windows and front door so wasnt too sure where responsibility lay.

look at your lease and see what it says. If you havent got a copt to hand ask the solicitor who did the conveyancing for you. You will probably have to pay for photocopying.
