If Walls Could Talk

The issue of unfit housing has never been more important. Alongside our parent company, Kingfisher, we have published a report into unfit housing in the UK, entitled If Walls Could Talk.

If Walls Could Talk finds that some 9.5 million people in the UK (or 18%) feel they live with significant housing issues. Problems range from inadequate heating or insulation, to pests and overcrowding, with the three most common problems being cold, damp, and noise.
