Damp & Mould in Chelmsford’s Housing Stock
Chelmsford's rental stock combines a Victorian core around the city centre with significant modern new-build growth from ongoing garden community developments on its outskirts.
A 2013 council stock condition assessment estimated around 15% of Chelmsford's private sector housing had a category 1 health and safety hazard — a reminder that the city's newer developments sit alongside a meaningful amount of older, less well-maintained stock.
