Why Southampton’s Housing Gets Condensation
Southampton's housing stock includes both surviving Victorian terraces and substantial post-war rebuilding following WWII bombing, alongside a large student HMO sector.
The concentration of student HMOs in older terraced housing brings overcrowding-related condensation into sharper focus alongside standard fabric damp issues. A council scrutiny report found around 0.2% of the private rented stock has a category 1 damp and mould hazard, with draughts and poor insulation frequently implicated.
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 →
