Why Cardiff’s Housing Gets Condensation

Cardiff has significant concentrations of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, particularly in inner suburbs such as Cathays and Grangetown, alongside a large student rental market.

High-density student HMOs in older terraces bring overcrowding-related condensation into focus alongside the fabric damp typical of solid-walled Victorian construction. The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales has upheld findings of significant failings by Cardiff Council in how it responded to some damp and mould complaints.
