Why Reading’s Housing Gets Condensation
Reading combines Victorian terraced housing near the town centre with substantial interwar and post-war semi-detached suburbs.
Strong commuter demand into London has kept older terraced stock in continuous rental use, with fabric maintenance varying significantly between landlords.
In force for social housing in England since 27 October 2025; the private rented sector extension comes under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, with no confirmed date. Read the Awaab’s Law guide → Phase 2: excess cold →
