Problem with Estate agent/ Landlord
I moved in to a property in September 2009, at this point the only problems visible was that a rear window had a Payne smashed but the other Payne was ok, the kitchen floor had tiles lose near the entrance and the drive was sinking in areas.
In march 2010 damp started to come though on the bathroom ceiling, front bedroom walls, side bedroom wall, and rear bedroom wall, Also noticed that the seals on all the windows have gone. At this point I approached the agents who never replied to our emails, calls or texts.
Also in march my husband fell on the un-even drive and damaged his hand bracing the fall and a legal battle is in progress which they have accepted responsibility for. And have acknowledge the property is in need of repair.
In December 2010 I took it upon myself to have a professional decorator come in and damp seal all the effected areas and redecorate were necessary. 2 weeks later I noticed that the damp had started to creep though again.
Due to the seals being damaged in all windows I have bought and covered the windows in polythene to try reduce heat loss and stop the draft, The front room is now un-inhabitable due to the cold and the window.
At the property is only myself and my husband. I am registered disable and in a wheelchair. the reason for this post is I want to know were I legally stand as it has been almost 18 month since entering the property and no repairs have been done although these was agree with the agent when entering the property.

Also on the same note my brother is with the same agent and has had the living room roof replaced by the agent for safety reasons and they refused to redecorate the room although he had just decorated the room prior to the problem with the roof, he also has a number of issue with the property that they are refusing to deal with. I will try get a list and update this post with full details.
