Blackpool Coastal Housing (BCH) is an Arm’s-Length Management Organisation (ALMO) responsible for managing around 5,200 homes on behalf of Blackpool Council.
BCH has a legal duty to ensure these homes are safe, structurally sound, and maintained to a standard that protects the health and wellbeing of tenants. Despite these obligations, some tenants have experienced delays in repairs or recurring issues.
Premier Legal Assist connects tenants with expert no-win, no-fee solicitors who can take action on your behalf to secure essential repairs and the financial compensation you may be owed.

Housing disrepair happens when your home becomes unsafe, unhealthy, or unsuitable to live in because your landlord has not carried out repairs within a reasonable period. BCH must ensure its properties are weatherproof, dry, warm, and free from hazards like damp, mould, infestations, unsafe electrics or structural defects.
We work with solicitors experienced in housing disrepair claims against social landlords, including ALMOs like BCH. If your claim is accepted, your solicitor will manage the process from start to finish, including gathering evidence, arranging inspections, negotiating for repairs, and pursuing compensation.
All cases are handled on a no-win, no-fee basis, so you only pay if your claim is successful.
