How do we deliver it?

Where the schedule treats a symptom, such as mould on a wall, we point out the likely cause and price the fix separately, so you can decide whether to deal with it now.

Which rules apply in Belfast?

Awaab's Law applies in England only, and we found no Northern Ireland equivalent when we checked in October 2026. Landlords' repair obligations and the Northern Ireland Decent Homes Standard still apply.
