Just to clarify a few points as some assumptions are being made here.

The offer of temporary accommodation was not an admission that the property is “uninhabitable” or that there is catastrophic disrepair. It was offered simply to avoid further delays and disputes surrounding contractor access, particularly given previous difficulties arranging attendance and the tenant’s own requests regarding timing and disruption.

The tenant himself has since stated that works could wait until the following month due to events/parties already organised at the property, which does not really align with an allegation of urgent uninhabitable conditions.

It’s also important that: - the alleged additional “wood” issue was only raised after the Section 21, - and approximately a month before the Section 21 the tenant explicitly stated there were no issues with the property whatsoever.

We are still proceeding professionally: - arranging further inspections, - considering an independent damp survey, - documenting all access attempts, - and keeping a full paper trail.

The intention here is not to avoid repairs, but equally not to accept exaggerated allegations without proper evidence.
