This doesn't describe council houses I've seen in London and surroundings (e.g. Milton Keynes/Bletchley).
What I remember:
- small rooms
- mould
- no insulation
- in larger buildings gardens, if any, would be only for ground floor flats
- in smaller buildings flats would be split over 3 levels, with each level being rather small
- often wired entrance to the flats from outdoor gallery/balcony (in larger buildings)
- low ceilings (for my liking)
- have_faith 2y agoMy experience is from the midlands, specifically in council estates that were predominantly terraced and semi-detached houses (small blocks of 4 or so houses at a time). No flats so that might be a big distinguishing factor (as well as not being in London...). Definitely had problems but rarely because of the build quality itself, some issues with neglect in some areas.
