Dampness, condensation and the Scottish Housing Quality Standard

While successive Scottish House Condition Surveys show that the proportion of dwellings with condensation or dampness, or failing the Scottish Housing Quality Standard, has fallen, the most recent figures for 2005-06 show that 60% of social housing and 69% of private sector housing falls short of the Scottish Housing Quality Standard. Nearly half (47%) of dwellings have some urgent disrepair.
