Building Surveyor - Legal Disrepair @Southway Housing Trust

Manchester, GB

At Southway Housing Trust, I specialized in managing and resolving housing disrepair cases, ensuring full compliance with legislation and delivering high-quality outcomes for residents. My role involved project management of complex legal claims, acting as an expert witness in court proceedings, and liaising with legal partners, contractors, and claimants to achieve timely resolutions. I carried out detailed property surveys, prepared specifications of works and produced CPR Part 35 compliant reports and Scott Schedules, contract documentation and oversaw repair works to maintain standards and prevent future issues. Additionally, I managed budgets for legal costs, monitored contractor performance, and implemented lessons learned to improve service delivery. This position required strong technical knowledge, attention to detail, and exceptional communication skills to provide outstanding customer service and maintain trust with residents.
