Nicholas Webster of Victoria Park, Dorchester, has lived at his Magna Housing Association abode for nearly nine years. However, the flat he lives in has been damp for over 20 years. He has had this confirmed by former tenants whom have all moved out because of the damp.
A court case in 2022 went in the tenants favour and they received compensation. However, they were only awarded a small amount as most of the damaged items were purchased three years or more ago and they couldn’t claim without receipts. Thousands of pounds of clothing, furniture, bedroom fixtures, shoes, carpets, and other personal belongings were lost.
Nicholas is in serious fuel debt (EDF – gas) because of having to have the heating on to combat the mold. It takes a considerable time to heat up his room, as there’s no insulation in the walls. Magna took it all out.
Nicholas cannot afford to leave and no other social housing is available for them as they are already in social housing.
He really needs advice, as he cannot live like this any more.
Nicholas is now on the verge of leaving the property and making himself homeless, because he’d rather live on the streets, than live in fear of dying from the mould/damp.
