I think you're probably right, although I think the dithering that goes on regarding the council planning to buy up properties for demolition doesn't inspire people to invest their money in home improvements.
Some landlords must not care much about who they rent their houses out to, and some tennants who don't care what kind of squallor they live in. There are lots of houses about that have no plumbing/wiring boiler etc...after some deadbeat tennant has done a flit.
