Damp & Mould in Cambridge’s Housing Stock
Cambridge has a high density of Victorian terraced housing, a legacy of planning constraints that have historically limited new development within the city.
Extraordinary rental demand from university staff, students, and the city's tech sector sustains a market for older housing that would otherwise struggle to let, adding pressure on fabric maintenance standards.
