76% Informative
Britain ’s housing landscape is blighted by a collection of poor-quality homes, many of which fail to meet liveable standards.
Some are plagued by damp and black mould (the spores from which can lead to nasty infections), others by persistent rot or decay which eats away at the property.
Around 1 m rental properties in England are in this state.
