Awaab’s Law in North East: What Landlords Must Know

Regional context

The North East has some of the lowest rents in England and a large supply of older housing stock. Low rents reduce landlord incentive to invest in fabric improvement, contributing to above-average rates of damp and mould in the private rented sector.

Newcastle, Sunderland, and Middlesbrough have large stocks of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing — much of it originally built for industrial workers. Stone-built properties in the Tyne and Wear area are particularly prone to penetrating damp. Sunderland has a high concentration of ex-council housing converted to private rental.

📊 The North East has some of the highest rates of poor housing conditions in the private rented sector of any English region, with damp affecting an estimated 16% of private rentals.

Newcastle City Council and Sunderland City Council both maintain private sector housing teams. Middlesbrough Council has an active housing enforcement programme targeting the worst-condition private rentals.

Own Your Home in North East? Mould Removal FAQs

Quick answer

If you own your home in North East rather than rent, mould is a health and maintenance issue rather than a legal compliance one — but the causes and fixes are the same. MouldPros-listed specialists in North East work with homeowners as well as landlords and letting agents.

Is mould in my home in North East a health risk?
Household mould, including black mould, can affect respiratory health — particularly for children, older people, and anyone with asthma or a weakened immune system. Occasional light surface mould in a bathroom is common and usually low-risk once cleaned, but persistent or spreading mould, or mould affecting a bedroom or living area, is worth having assessed rather than just wiped away repeatedly.Source: UKHSA / GOV.UK ↗
Can I remove mould myself, or do I need a professional in North East?
Small, isolated patches of surface mould on non-porous surfaces (tiles, glass, painted wood) can often be cleaned yourself with appropriate gloves, ventilation, and a mould-specific product. Mould covering a large area, mould that keeps returning after cleaning, or mould linked to a leak, damp patch, or condensation problem needs a professional inspection — treating the surface without fixing the underlying moisture source means it will come back.
What causes mould in a home I own, and is it something I've done wrong?
Mould needs moisture to grow, which in owned homes usually comes from condensation (cooking, showers, or drying laundry indoors without ventilation), a leak, rising damp in older properties, or penetrating damp through the building fabric. It's rarely about cleanliness — even well-kept homes get mould if ventilation or a building defect lets moisture build up. A specialist survey identifies the actual cause rather than guessing.
Will home insurance cover mould damage in North East?
Usually only if the mould results from a sudden, insured event — such as a burst pipe or storm damage — reported promptly. Most standard home insurance policies exclude mould caused by gradual issues like long-term condensation, rising damp, or lack of maintenance, since insurers treat these as preventable. Check your policy wording and speak to your insurer before assuming cover applies.
How do I stop mould coming back after treatment in North East?
Address the moisture source first — improve ventilation (extractor fans, trickle vents, opening windows after showers or cooking), fix any leaks or damp ingress, and avoid drying laundry on radiators in unventilated rooms. A specialist can advise on longer-term fixes such as positive input ventilation (PIV) systems or damp-proofing where the cause is structural rather than behavioural.
