Seaview Terrace sounds like the sort of road you’d love to live on.
Not in Hadleigh in Essex it isn’t.
Kerry Maher lives on the street with her two children.
Her house has rising damp and mould and has done ever since she moved there in 2014. Kerry says her landlord is aware of the problem but hasn’t done anything to fix it.
“There’s no real excuse for this,” says Jeff Charlton, managing director of environmental health consultancy Building Forensics, who we asked to inspect Kerry’s home.
“People are being made sick or their health is deteriorating living in this property. There is a responsibility under the Landlord And Tenant Act that the landlord makes the home health and safety compliant,” he said.
Kerry’s landlord is the Salvation Army.
