Can you claim housing disrepair compensation in Sheen?

Sheen features a mix of period conversions, cottage flats and newer housing estates near Richmond Park. Many older buildings in the area suffer from poor insulation, leading to trapped moisture and stubborn mould. Richmond upon Thames Council are required to maintain these homes properly. When structural faults or broken plumbing are left untreated, tenants suffer. We are here to help Sheen families get their homes fixed and claim the money they deserve.
