Greenwich combines Georgian and Victorian terraces around Greenwich Town Centre and Blackheath, post-war and 1960s estates in Woolwich, Plumstead and Charlton, and large modern flat developments along the riverside at Greenwich Peninsula, Royal Arsenal and Charlton Riverside. Eltham and Mottingham have substantial 1930s semis.
Greenwich's Georgian and Victorian terraces — particularly those split into flats around Greenwich Town Centre — show the classic period-property mould pattern of cold solid walls, blocked chimneys and bathroom condensation. The 1960s Woolwich and Plumstead estates suffer from cold-bridged concrete frames. Modern riverside flats at Greenwich Peninsula frequently develop curtain-wall condensation where MVHR is under-used and trickle vents are kept closed — a recurring issue in newer London developments.
Royal Borough of Greenwich, Greenwich Housing, L&Q and Hyde manage most local social housing. The borough's environmental health team has been notably active on damp and mould enforcement, particularly in the post-Awaab's Law landscape. Private landlords across Charlton and Plumstead are an increasingly engaged customer base.
