Injured at Holiday Home? Get Free Legal Advice
Compensation for Accidents at Holiday Homes
UK holiday home rentals are booming in 2021, with prices rising to previously unseen levels in the most sought-after destinations. This means that many property owners are renting houses and flats out to temporary tenants for the first time, while others are refitting properties to accommodate more people to meet the demand.
Landlords need to make sure that their holiday homes are safe for holidaymakers, and if a temporary tenant is injured due to disrepair and poor maintenance, they will be able to make a personal injury claim against the holiday home’s landlord.

All internal appliances supplying these services need to be well maintained and in good working order. A faulty immersion heater, for example, can result in scalding hot tap or shower water with the potential to cause burns, while gas boilers may also malfunction and emit carbon monoxide. Electric sockets and other points of electrical contact must be safely installed and pose no risk of electric shocks.
Stairs may be missing bannisters or the bannisters may be in a defective state, both of which may result in a tenant falling down the stairs. Furniture and furnishings may also be damaged and hazardous, such as broken glass on table surfaces, chairs which give way, or loose cupboards which may collapse.
Surface defects in gardens and car parks, such as potholes and exposed concrete edges, have the potential to cause fractured limbs and cuts. Swimming pools at rented holiday homes must also be safe to use, as should all similar installations like patios, barbecue areas, gazebos, sun loungers and outdoors furniture.
If you have been injured at a holiday home, contact our specialist housing solicitors for free legal advice and to discuss making a claim against the landlord.
