Property maintenance in Wigan: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners:

You're usually responsible for all maintenance on your property. If you’re in a leasehold home, check your agreement for what falls under your responsibility vs the freeholder’s. Structural repairs and shared areas (like roofing or external walls) are often covered by the freeholder.

For renters:

Landlords are generally responsible for repairs to the structure, heating, water and electrics. As a tenant, you should report any problems in writing to your landlord or letting agent as soon as possible. Emergencies (like leaks or electrical faults) must be reported immediately.
