Why Birmingham’s Housing Gets Condensation

Birmingham has one of the largest surviving concentrations of Victorian back-to-back terraces in England, alongside a substantial inner-city HMO market and high-rise estates.

The city's HMO licensing scheme reflects the enforcement challenge posed by dense, older shared housing, where condensation mould linked to overcrowding is a recurring issue. Birmingham's own submission to central government estimated 5.1% of private rented properties in the city have a category 1 damp and mould hazard.
