About
At Krowd Advisory Ltd, we believe that every social housing resident deserves a safe and habitable home. Our mission is to empower tenants with the knowledge, support, and legal expertise they need to hold landlords accountable for housing disrepair issues. By combining technology, legal expertise, and real-time data, we streamline the claims process and ensure that residents can assert their rights with confidence.
Bridging the Gap Between Residents and Legal Experts
Housing disrepair cases can be complex, with many tenants facing delays, legal obstacles, or resistance from landlords. Our specialist advisory service removes these barriers by connecting residents with trusted legal professionals who have a proven track record in handling Section 11 housing disrepair claims. With a focus on transparency, efficiency, and accountability, we work to ensure that every case is handled swiftly and fairly—delivering real results for those who need it most.
Real-Time Data for a Proactive Approach
What sets Krowd Advisory apart is our ability to harness live data and predictive analytics to assess social housing conditions at scale. Our cutting-edge data aggregation tools provide real-time insights into local authority and housing association properties, creating a single, reliable source of truth for tenants and landlords alike.
For residents, this means instant access to information on their home’s condition, outstanding repairs, and legal options if their landlord fails to act.
For landlords and local authorities, our system provides instant visibility into ongoing disrepair issues, allowing them to address complaints proactively and mitigate legal risks.
By making housing conditions fully transparent, we not only expedite legal action where necessary but also encourage proactive property management, preventing small issues from escalating into costly disputes.
Why We Do It
At the heart of Krowd Advisory is a commitment to justice and fairness in the social housing sector. We understand that poor housing conditions can have a serious impact on people’s health, wellbeing, and financial stability. Through our work, we empower tenants to take action, give landlords the tools to meet their obligations, and help drive systemic improvements across the sector.
This isn’t just about resolving individual cases—it’s about driving meaningful change in the way housing disrepair is managed. A win-win for everyone, because a safe, habitable home is a right, not a privilege.
