Housing disrepair in Gloucestershire: The facts
Housing disrepair is a significant issue for tenants across the UK, and Gloucestershire is no exception. While specific local data is limited, national statistics highlight the scale of the problem, with many Gloucestershire residents facing similar challenges in their rented homes:
- According to the English Housing Survey 2022-2023, 4% of UK households (approximately 1 million) reported dampness issues, with private renters (10%) and social housing tenants (4-7%) most affected. Gloucestershire’s mix of urban and rural rentals reflects these trends.
- Nationally, 14% of rental properties fail to meet the Decent Homes Standard, and 10% have Category 1 hazards, such as severe damp or mould, posing significant health risks. Gloucestershire tenants in older properties or social housing often face these issues.
- Across England, councils and housing associations paid out £55.1 million for nearly 17,000 disrepair claims over five years, with urban areas like Gloucester contributing to this rise.
From Cheltenham to Coleford, tenants in Gloucestershire deserve better living conditions. Marley Solicitors helps residents across postcodes like GL1, GL2, GL3, GL4, GL5, GL6, GL7, GL8, GL10, GL12 address disrepair issues, ensuring landlords meet their legal obligations under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018.
