The Ombudsman decided that whilst the Housing Association had taken steps to complete repairs, some repairs were outstanding. The Housing Association said that it was carrying out these repairs as part of a bigger piece of work that needed to be procured via formal tender. The Ombudsman decided to settle the complaint without an investigation.
The Ombudsman sought and gained the Housing Association’s agreement to update Miss A every 2 months on how the formal tender/likely time scales for the works were progressing.
