Damp & Mould in Hackney’s Housing Stock
Hackney's Victorian terraces — with Georgian survivals around Clapton and Stoke Newington — have been converted into flats at one of the highest rates in London, alongside a very large council-built estate legacy. Two decades of intense rental growth mean heavily occupied, solid-walled conversion flats where condensation is endemic; the estate stock adds concrete panel cold bridging. Basement and ground-floor conversions along the borough's old river terraces contribute rising damp.
