The LIG Standard · Housing litigation prevention

Find the repair failures that become claims—before they become claims.

Every LIG assessment produces a structured Property Condition & Remedial Schedule: the defect, evidence, likely cause, required work, priority, ownership and proof needed for closure. It gives housing providers a practical route from inspection to verified resolution.

A usable output from every assessment

A disciplined repair schedule before litigation demands one.

The LIG Standard applies Scott Schedule-style discipline at the prevention stage. It turns room-by-room evidence into a controlled schedule that repairs teams can own, managers can track and boards can audit.

The exposure already inside the system

Your next disrepair claim may already be recorded as a completed repair.

Repairs systems record activity. They do not always reveal whether the underlying defect was resolved, whether evidence supports closure, or whether repeated events form a wider pattern. Most organisations reconstruct that history after a claim arrives. LIG examines it while there is still time to intervene.

A different line of sight

What the system records.
What LIG reveals.

LIG works across the gaps between repairs, contractors, complaints, property evidence and legal escalation.

Prevent cost from compounding

Stop paying for the same property failure repeatedly.

01

Repair

A defect is reported and work begins.

02

Repeat

Visits, temporary fixes and internal handling accumulate.

03

Complaint

Administration, resident impact and scrutiny increase.

04

Claim

Legal, expert, compensation and reputational exposure follow.

LIG intervention — identify the unresolved cause, evidence gap or repeated failure before those costs compound.

Where LIG fits

Repairs teams manage jobs. Contractors complete works. Solicitors manage claims.

The LIG Standard creates the controlled evidence and remedial schedule connecting all three—while there is still time to prevent escalation.

01

Inspect & diagnose

Room-by-room evidence, readings, history and limitations establish what the available evidence supports.

02

Schedule & own

Each supported defect becomes a defined action with priority, dependencies, ownership and a target date.

03

Verify & learn

Closure requires evidence. Outcomes then strengthen property history, contractor intelligence and board assurance.

Awaab's Law readiness

Repair intelligence is now a board-level necessity.

Fixed response times only work when providers can identify risk correctly, connect fragmented evidence, consider vulnerability, assign action and demonstrate what happened next.

LIG provides an independent prevention and assurance layer around those operational demands—helping teams find hazards, evidence gaps and unresolved cases before they become breaches, complaints or claims.

Read the official Awaab's Law guidance LIG supports operational readiness and evidence-led decision-making. It does not provide legal advice or guarantee compliance.

The result

Earlier decisions. Defensible action. Fewer opportunities for avoidable escalation.

LIG turns disconnected property and service evidence into a clear view of where attention is needed now.
