Syed Alam and his wife Sahela bought a new-build flat at Brooklime House in Homerton, Hackney for £350,000 and have endured damp, mould and water ingress for more than ten years. Syed raised concerns about water ingress during a 2015 viewing with regeneration consultants, and Hackney Council, as freeholder, assured repairs before the family moved in.

The couple contacted their MP and Citizens Advice, fear they cannot sell, and report worsening mental health and their children’s asthma.
