Speaking as a former housing officer, I have seen a few properties in similarly poor states of repair. Damp issues are often caused by incorrect materials being used on older properties, but social housing rarely has the funding to afford anything else.
Several people are suggesting withdrawing rent. Unfortunately, that's not legal and a secure tenant will be served with notice and taken to court for non payment of rent. A non-secure tenant will be served notice and evicted. Anyone in this position has to take the social landlord to court for disrepair. If you are evicted, you're considered to have made yourself intentionally homeless.
It's worse for people in private housing as they depend on the reference from their existing landlord, which means taking the risk of going to court could leave them homeless and unable to get housing.

Thank you for investigating this ! Having lived in flats that were built as “ temporary accommodation “ and struggled with mold . I appreciate your journalism ! Funny how people think that people needing social housing are living it up with cheap rent ! The Duchy property is just as bad ! Something needs to be done for these people ! Imagine what effects this would have on not only your physical health but your mental health !

This is terrible. It shouldn't take mainstream media to broadcast this for landlords to take action. Seems like councils don't have the money or they're lazy or they just don't care.
I have mould in my bathroom. I told the council. Someone came to assess it and said they are going to rip the wall down and see what's going on behind. On the day work was supposed to be done a couple decorators came and painted over it. Now the mould is back even worse than before and I'm getting mould growing on my furniture. Everywhere white fluffy mould is growing. I just use the place to sleep now. Shower eating I go to my mum's :(

Still not understanding why they haven't prohibited, in Law, this nonsense of "cleaning" mould or "painting over" mould. You cant clean or paint iver nould. Its a fundamental STRUCTURAL priblem. Mould can only be resolved by demolition, IR a total fiundation to rafters gutting & refurbishment. Digging a 6ft fresh foundation inside the shell, placing damp proof barrier, pouring a fresh concrete foundation, only after injecting the walls at every single floor level, tanking the first 3-4ft of the inside of every external boundary wall plus full height tanking of bathrooms, fitting a full envelooe of membrane over full insulaation. Then providing sufficient/increased ventilation, triple glazed windows, and maximum external sealing of boundary walls (since these are NOT protected buildings). properly sealed, That is the only, only, ONLY way to permanently & properly resolve Rising and Penetrating Damp.
Such buildings should go one step further on such refurbishments - a base level of whole building passive heating & cooling to shared areas. Often such tenants will cut their winter heating, and summer cooling, electrical consumption according to Bill affordability. Therefore any refurbishment should incorporate Solar and Wind Rooftop Renewables powering a base level of heat+mechanical ventilation+cooling for the basic maintenance of the BONES of their Building. To ensure the longevity & wellbeing of the structure without costing Tenants, without abusing tenants about not heating their unit enough, or having "too many occupants", or "failing to open windows to ventilate", and all other such absolute nonsense!!
Not only does this cost the State in Health problems. But its costing the poorist citizens in clothes washing, consistenly damaged clothing replacement, extra damp/water proof containers for storing their entire kitchen of dry food and, potentially, those tenants claiming that back from the State.

Can it even call itself a government after watching this i mean at this rate there wont be any thing left to govern... It doesn't install a sense of hope for the future I think the people responsible for these conditions should go live in them and see how they feel after a year because it's not safe or healthy and is literally unfit for inhabitants 😮

How do they manage to get up every morning, go to work all day, pay for themselves and contribute to society whilst living in such terrible conditions?
