1 |
| According to the owner the drains to the rear garden block up & overflow intermittently. Another surveyor may think this sufficient to cause unfitness. |
|
1 |
| Accumulation of items on disrepair could argue tips balance into unfitness, but consider on balance that property reasonably suitable for occupation in present condition. Dampness small area in kitchen. Structural instability - just strengthen back |
|
1 |
| All surfaces to bathroom are not smooth or non-absorbent - maybe seen as 'defective' and not unfit. I am of the opinion that the disrepair is so substantial as to make it unfit. |
|
1 |
| Although cooking location is adjacent to door leading to external - door does not actually strike cooker & door does seperate user from cooker - thius hazard is reduced |

1 |
| Do not know enough about system houses, there may be no real problem but I believe further investigation needed - why cracking & refilling rear wall |

|
1 |
| Food Prep: Very small kitchen, however good use of space and in good condition. Not a through route o risk from hot surfaces minimised. Applying whole - house standard would make an unfitness judgement harsh. |
|
1 |
| Food prep. - no proper/adequate supply for cooker (30 amp outlet or gas point) so kitchen only able to have baby belling, but only v.small unit so possibly acceptable. |
|
1 |
| Four Bedrooms in house with 2 ensuite bathrooms and 3rd wc+wb off hall. No access to bath from two bedrooms only two occupants |
|
1 |
| Hazardous kitchen layout with kitchen adjacent to doorway - however hazard not extreme. Door does not strike cooker or user. |
|
1 |
| House generally okay. Cooker point could be re-sited in kitchen/dining room, current location is potentially very dangerous. When taken on its own not considered to make house unfit, however, borderline decision. |
|
1 |
| House not unfit on grounds of dampness or disrepair even though there is an accumulation of disrepair items they are no great an effect on health & safety. Taken together makes house borderling fit. |

| Kitchen floor may only require a repair to correct defective area or may require complete new floor .Further investigation required |
|
1 |
| Kitchen has no worktop as it is and no space for one to be provided easily (or table) without carrying out work. |
|
1 |
| Kitchen units and worktops in poor condition require replacing but not quite unfit. These will be replaced this year by Bradford Housing Trust. |

| Large number of small disrepair items, not quite enough to be unfit but heading that way. Unless repairs carried out in the next few years i.e. windows, roof, lintel, electrics, condensation, chimney stack. |
|
1 |
| Main factor w.r.t unfitness is dampnes.This has been masked and rooms have been dry lined. Total extent and severity cannot be seen. Atmosphere is humid and there is a damp musty smell. |
|
1 |
| Majority of fitness items clear cut,but not clear cut on dampness.(Due to condensation),as it would depend on time of year surveying .Likely to be unfit during the colder months.(eg. winter period). |

1 |
| No work top present and some walls are still brickwork (albeit gloss painted), borderline fit on poor cleanability. |

| Some areas of damp are present but injection dpc installed 7 years ago, therefore further investigation is required. |
|
1 |
| Some serious defects, but most do not contribute over significantly to whether it is suitable for occuation or not. Very borderline because there is a lot of disrepair overall. |
|
1 |
| Some substantial defects noted, but on the whole these are localised. Any further deterioration would be likely to merit an overall judgement of unfitness. |

| THE EXTENT OF THE SLIGHTLY WORN WORKTOP (<1-5M LONG) & THE EXTENT OF TILE DAMAGE IN THE KITCHEN COULD BE CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE. IN ASSOCIATION W/ (EASILY REMEDIED) MINOR CRACKED WHB THEN BOTH DEFECTS COULD BE JUST ABOUT ACCEPTABLE. |

1 |
| The Build up of defective matters makes the dwelling unfit |
|
1 |
| The bathroom cannot be adequately cleaned due to missing wall tiles, but these are few. The floor tiling has edge tiles omitted, but both above items are being dealt with as work is in hand. |
|
1 |
| The decision will need to reviewed when the results of monitoring are know |
|
1 |
| The extent of the disrepair is bordering on unfit, although not currently making it unfit |
|
1 |
| The house is in very good condition apart from inability to clean behind toilet . Minor work could cure this defect. |
|
1 |
| The kitchen has a 30 amp provision for a cooker but occupier does not have cooker due to space limitations in kitchen - instead she has got a washing machine & tumble dryer & uses a small 'one ring' type cooker on worksurface along with steamer! |
|
1 |
| The kitchen is narrow with doors/access both ends. The cooker is tight into a corner with only a small work surface on the left hand side. The layout and tightness does not lend itself to more than one person being in the kitchen at any one time. |
|
1 |
| The kitchen is only 1.7m wide. There ia a sink unit, small worktop, cooker & fridge along one wall and a narrow worktop <300mm along the other wall leaving less than 1m to work in. This is also the only exit to the rear of the property. |
|
1 |
| The nature and extent of accummulated disrepair faults may lead some to the judgement of unfitness, but even when taken together in my opinion the condition of the property is not so far defective as to render it reasonably unsuitable for occupation |
|
1 |
| The property is generally in fair order,although initial evidence of rising damp and ground floor extensions have single skin brick walls only. however significant problem is collapse of retaining wall to front plot. Dwelling is elevated and damage t |

1 |
| There is hot water supply from the back boiler to a cylinder but no immersion. Therefore, have to have fire on to get hot water. Coded as a minor repair pm hot water to sink, bath, wash basin = total adds up to fitting an immersion heater |
|
1 |
| There is ingress of rainwater to the ceiling of both the top floor bedroom and the living area below it, presumably caused by a problem with the flat roof. The ingress is not serious as yet and is not enough to make the property unfit although |

1 |
| There is no WHB or intention to install inmain bathroom/wc , however, there is a whb in gound wc cloakroom |
|
1 |
| Unfit decision based on the fact that the sink has no draining board. Wooden block serves as a draining board. It is in good repair and another surveyor may accept this. |
|
1 |
| Unfit due to to a combination of easily remedied defects |

1 |
| W.C off lobby is nearer to kitchen sink than washbasin although basin not far away . Bathroom full of pushchairs so clearly this family use sink for handwashing. not sure if classified as unfit |

| difficult to assess extent of rising dampness - student house resembles a 'pig sty' accumulations of rubbish, food debris and clothing etc. make it impossible to inspect all areas of walls etc. |
|
1 |
| disrepair exists throughout - defective ceiling plasterin bedroom amd entrance hall, wall plaster in kitchen bedroom and circulation area; missing wc seat. low level of security to external doors and front window. condensation in bedroom and bathroom |
|
1 |
| disrepair is result of ongoing diy upgrade nightmare. inpact on occupants is remarkably small but it would be less fit for small children/elderly people |
|
1 |
| disrepair relates to no.minor problems.Means of escape is dangerous due to condition of torn carpet and attificial light in disrepair. |
|
1 |
| drainage defect physically affects only ground floor maisonette in module-subject dwelling is first floor maisonette, with its condition being otherwise acceptable. |
|
1 |
| drainage has lot of defects singly not too bad but when taken as a whole verging towards unfitness |
|
1 |
| drainage to septic tank is faulty causing seepage around the tank as the tank i s in an adjacent field the house itself is unaffected, facilities is use without detriment within curtailage |
|
1 |
| drains prone to recurrent blackage. not blocked at time of survey . no investagrative work has been undertaken to ascertain reason only reactive response. |
|
1 |
| drinking water supply through lead pipework ansd should be checked for possible contamination |
|
1 |
| due to layout of bathroom with shower tray in corner with one side next to the bathroom window - poor position in view of safety of person showering and effect of shower water on window and curtain |
|
1 |
| dwelling borderline fit for dampness due to extensive condensation partly due to tenants lifestyle. Inadequate info on heating, i.e. poor front wall insulation. |
|
1 |
| dwelling lacking worksurface of adequate depth-existing work surface is 40cm wide.there is also a pull out table which can be used to provide a small area of work surface,adequate worksurface could be installed. |
|
1 |
| electric very old and nor rewired since tenant moved in 33 years ago roof sagging and covering requires overhand (looks original) and causing penetrating dampness to bedroom |
|
1 |
| electrics - 1960's switch fuses, inadequate earthing, some old lighting switches - assumed rewire & possible health & safety risk - but not definite risk. |
|
1 |
| entire block is suffering from subsidence/settlement. this is being investigated by local authority at present, movement near to balconies to rear, and cracks in lounge and circulation cupboard |
|
1 |
| extensive building rubble/ materials around front shared access could make the property unfit,but problem is temporary and easily cleared up. |
|
1 |
| externa; disrepair only as recorded. on balance dwelling is not acceptable in terms of disrepair |
|

1 |
| foul water is diverted into rain water pipe leading to serious drainage defect but no direct impact on consideration of fitness. |
|
1 |
| front cast iron gutter obviously leaking needs complete replacing but not causing problems. Left flank face much of render is shown and probably all will need replacing soon but not causing any initial problems etc. |
|
1 |
| guidance not clear on this pont, is this a technicality - and does itrender this house unfit |
|
1 |
| heating only 1 socket in bedroom , not ideally placed to permit continued 2 bed use of room. Also could overload electric circuit, if used , use of socket for heating would prevent use of double bedroom |

1 |
| if drain cleared house would be very good |
|
1 |
| inadequate width in kitchen makes space defective but was built that way borderline unfit |
|
1 |
| it is not causing great discomfort to the occupier- the damp patch is small and easily |
|
1 |
| it is not clear whether settlement is still taking place.if it is then the property is clearly unfit and the works carried out were insufficient. |
|
1 |
| it may be that it is only one tile loose/missing or similar(? defective flashing-similar/+easily remedied |
|
1 |
| kitchen inadequate worksurfaces, inadequate cupboard space |
|
1 |
| kitchen is defective on food prep because belfast sink has no drainer or space for drainer.However,the kitchen(15years since refurbished-incl sink)is in very good condition and the rest of house is in otherwise satisfactory condition. |
|
1 |
| kitchen is only 1.4m wide but built this way so cannot make any bigger. very tight-borderline unfit |
|
1 |
| kitchen pretty small for a 3 bed home.just about acceptable until a fridge freezer is neede , then no space for one. |
|
1 |
| kitchen under modernisation,utility area is open to kitchen and has working sink+water supply.worktops currently positioned upside down and not fixed.curently therefore poor cleanability.this is a short term issue only. |

1 |
| kitchen/coooking fumes vented across lounge area. needs ducting installed. vented across hounge area |
|
1 |
| kitchen/diner has large floor area combined , there are remains of walls separating kitchen prep area from dining area, presence of doorways adds to problems of limited worktops in food prep area electric sockets do not work in living area |
|
1 |
| kitchen/diner has step down from cooking area to sink. I think it is significant enough but other surveyors may not |
|
1 |
| lack of drainer /second bowl to the sink is only reason, I consider this to be a technical failure .On its own not sure this is sufficient to fail the whole house as unfit and not reasonably suitable for occupation |
|
1 |
| layout/space in kitchen improved byfitting fridge in one of walk in cupboards,inadequate cooker space and poor layout. |

1 |
