Every housing association building across England will be checked for issues like damp and mould - and any problems spotted will be fixed according to a pledge made by a national body representing social housing providers.
The Better Social Housing Review called for housing associations to conduct and publish a 'thorough audit' across all homes of the nation, with Housing Secretary Michael Gove expecting this to be carried out 'as soon as possible'.
An independent report which was published today revealed that poor quality social housing affects 'too many' tenants, citing damp, mould and condensation the 'most prevalent' concerns.
