  1. its a damp and cold country where the majority of housing stock is ex-mining terraces. Not surprised. I’ve had an ongoing leak for 2 years because my neighbour refuses to fix his roof, he’s said he would but still hasn’t got around to it. At my wits end over it.

  2. Just moved to valleys, signs of mould and damp already starting to appear through the new coats of paint in the house we rent, and the other day a little girl says hi to us on the street – says she used to live in our house, and tells us there used to be actual literal mushrooms growing out of the carpet. 😭

  3. In a country where housing and heating costs have spiralled beyond control, should this surprise anyone? This will continue to get worse until we have genuine revolutionary change in how we treat the provision of shelter in this country. Train a generation of homebuilders (construction industry professionals) and implement truly expansive planning laws. It’s really shouldn’t be difficult in a developed country where housing isn’t just treated as part of a property portfolio.
