Why Winter Damp is More Than a Cosmetic Issue
Winter damp isn’t just unsightly – it can lead to mould growth, unpleasant odours, and long-term damage to plaster, paintwork, and even the structure of your property. For landlords, preventing damp is far more cost-effective than dealing with repairs and tenant complaints once it’s set in.
Improve Ventilation Without Sacrificing Warmth
One of the leading causes of damp in winter is trapped moisture from cooking, showering, and even breathing. Encourage tenants to use extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms, and if possible, fit trickle vents in windows.

Take it one step at a time
Moving can feel overwhelming, but breaking the process down into manageable steps can make it more manageable. Start by setting a clear timeline for when you want to move, and then divide the tasks by weeks or days. Whether it’s packing up a single room or arranging a moving company, tackle one task at a time. By focusing on one thing at a time, you’ll find it’s easier to keep calm throughout the process.
Create a moving checklist
One of the best ways to stay organised and prepared is to create a moving checklist. Write down all the tasks you need to complete from notifying utility providers to booking your moving company and changing your address.
