Why Glasgow’s Housing Gets Condensation
Glasgow's inner-city housing stock is overwhelmingly tenement flats built from sandstone or granite, among the most damp-prone property types in the UK.
Deteriorated pointing and communal roof or gutter faults are common causes of penetrating damp in Glasgow tenements, and shared-building repair obligations can complicate and delay remediation. As in Edinburgh, Scotland's Repairing Standard — not England's Awaab's Law — governs private rented damp obligations here.
Awaab’s Law applies in England only. In Scotland, the Repairing Standard (Housing (Scotland) Act 2006) already requires homes to be free from damp and mould posing a significant health risk. Read the Awaab’s Law guide → Phase 2: excess cold →
