Retrofitting is one of the biggest challenges in housing today. When it’s done well, it can transform homes, reduce bills, and improve lives. But when it goes wrong, residents can be left with cold homes, higher costs, and serious legal battles.

In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Ait-Tayeb from Anthony Gold Solicitors to talk about what happens when retrofitting works — and what support is available when it doesn’t.

We cover:

The rights residents have if retrofit projects fail
Legal support and how to find it
The difference between good and bad retrofit practice
Where tenants and leaseholders can turn for help
