    The “34% of all households” is actually more of a shocking figure than the 10 million.

    A third of our houses are too shit.

      I’d believe it, I’m in Ireland but we’ve the same house type and similar regulations and such. Fact is my house was lovely growing up but there was always a towel handy to wipe the windows down and cleaning the ceiling in the bathroom was part of the day to day cleaning.

      Unless it is a recently expanded town or a new build one off house the quality is sub par. Biggest cities are where the real numbers are, a housing shortage gives little reason to improve your shit hole century old terraced house you’ve rented out for 3k a month.

        You say that as if new builds are built to a proper standard.

      Money we’ll spent. Only if we could get that return on investment in housing.
