Hi, last April we moved from one of our landlords houses to a bigger but older property. I had been in the previous one for 5 years, it had been built around 1980 and had hot air heating... We moved to a 3 bed house built around 1920's that has central heating, double glazing and to be honest hasnt been maintained as well as it should have been - we have had leaks from bathroom fixed, parts of the roof fixed and what we thought was damp but probably condensation in both kids bedrooms over the winter...
Last summer I also got 3 chickens in a wooden coop for which I am soley responsible...
The neighbours drain frequently overflows across our drive and I have complained at least 10 times to them about that...
I am asthmatic (take flixotide, seretide and ventolon along with hayfever meds) and I have had a cough for 3 months, had 3 lots of antibiotics and am now on more with prednisoline... Dd (15 months) has had colds and a cough on and off through winter, ds (11) has had a cough on and off for a month and dh was off work last week with a cough...
Dh hates the house and reckons that all our coughs are because of the house, how likely is that? I am not sure and perhaps think it's just bad luck/crazy weather...
But... If it is the house, any ideas how we can find out and what could I do to reduce the impact?
