Damp & Mould in Blackburn’s Housing Stock

Blackburn's rental stock is dominated by dense Victorian terraces built during the town's 19th-century cotton-milling boom, with some of the lowest average property values in Lancashire.

Lower property values correlate nationally with reduced landlord reinvestment, and Blackburn has recognised deprivation and housing-condition challenges concentrated in its older terraced wards.
