Homeowner repairs

What we are responsible for

Homeowner repairs

Leaseholders
Generally Peabody has no repair obligations for the interior of the property. All repairing obligations are laid out in your lease and you should always check this before contacting us to report a repair.

As a landlord we are generally responsible for some repair and maintenance for the structure of the building, communal areas, and communal systems. These include repairs to:

1. The structure of the building eg

• roof repairs
• rainwater pipes and gutters
• external drains
• damp proofing works
• brickwork
• floor joists

2. Communal systems eg

• door entry systems
• district heating
• communal TV aerials

3. Communal areas

If in doubt, you should always check your lease before contacting us to report a repair.
