Awaab’s Law in South East: What Landlords Must Know
Regional context
The South East has a large commuter rental market sustained by London connectivity. High property values and rents have driven many households into older, poorly maintained stock. Southampton has a large student population with a significant concentration of older HMO housing.
The South East has a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in coastal towns like Brighton and Southampton, and inter-war and post-war semi-detached housing inland. Brighton's high density and many basement and ground-floor conversions create particular rising damp challenges.
Brighton & Hove City Council has operated additional licensing for HMOs across the city. Southampton City Council maintains a housing standards team covering the private rented sector.

Frequently Asked Questions About Damp in South East
- How do I find a qualified mould specialist in South East?
- Search the MouldPros directory for South East — all listed specialists are manually verified before their listing goes live. Filter by service type to find the right contractor for your specific damp or mould problem.
- Does Awaab's Law apply to private landlords in South East?
- Not yet — Awaab's Law has applied to social housing in England since October 2025, and its extension to private landlords is a later phase of the Renters' Rights Act 2025 rollout, with no confirmed start date. Once in force, private landlords in South East will need to investigate significant damp and mould hazards within 10 working days and complete safety works within 5 working days of the investigation concluding (24 hours for emergencies).

Own Your Home in South East? Mould Removal FAQs
Quick answer
If you own your home in South 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 South East work with homeowners as well as landlords and letting agents.
- Is mould in my home in South 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 South 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 South 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 South 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.
