Damp & Mould Compliance
As a landlord or letting agent, you have a legal responsibility to identify, prevent, and address damp and mould issues in your properties under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 and Awaab’s Law (effective from October 2023).
At PRMS, we include comprehensive damp and mould assessments as standard in every report we produce — with no hidden fees or add-ons. We identify risk factors early, provide clear photographic evidence, and help you demonstrate compliance.
We understand that the evolving regulations around damp and mould can be confusing. Rest assured, PRMS will handle this for you and provide a clear, documented report to show your property meets current legal standards.
Damp and Mould – Legal Responsibilities and Proactive Management
Early Identification & Prevention of Damp and Mould
We include professional damp and mould checks in every inventory, mid-tenancy visit, and check-out report — at no extra cost.
Damp and mould are no longer considered “lifestyle issues” — they are serious health hazards and a legal responsibility for landlords under current UK regulations.
PRMS inspectors are trained to identify the early signs of rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, and mould growth. We document affected areas with high-resolution photographs, note severity levels, and highlight any urgent health & safety concerns.
By catching problems early, you can prevent escalation, avoid costly repairs, reduce void periods, protect tenant health, and demonstrate compliance in the event of any disputes or local authority investigation.
Full Compliance & Peace of Mind for Landlords
Trust PRMS for accurate, impartial, and fully documented damp & mould assessments that protect you and your tenants.
Since the introduction of Awaab’s Law and strengthened guidance from the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), landlords must act quickly and transparently when damp and mould are reported or identified.
PRMS provides clear, TDS-aligned reporting with timestamped photographs and detailed documentation of any issues identified. Whether you need standalone compliance checks or integrated assessments during inventory, mid-tenancy, or check-out visits, we have you covered.
