This unique resource offers invaluable and often under-shared insights and support for homeowners and renters alike - arming you with everything you need to ensure your home is healthy and future-proofed.

The government has promised to reduce the number of dilapidated private rented homes in England by half, from nearly 1m, by 2030 as part of what it described as “the biggest shake-up of the private rented sector in 30 years”.

Damp is five times more common in private rentals than in owner-occupied homes.

Government figures suggest that more than 520,000 rented properties in England have hazards that pose “a serious and immediate risk to a person’s health and safety” – a large proportion of these being cold, damp and mould.

Industry experts say the true scale of the problem is likely to be far greater due to systemic problems with the housing system and chronic under-reporting by tenants who fear eviction.

Nearly 31,000 children aged four and under are admitted to hospitals in England each year with conditions linked to the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is known to be caused or exacerbated by damp and mould. NHS figures show that nearly 80% of these – or 24,485 babies and toddlers – develop acute bronchiolitis needing hospital treatment.

Some studies suggest between 20-40% of children who have bronchiolitis in their early years go on to develop asthma.
