Housing Health & Safety Rating System (HHSRS) Inspection

From 6 April 2006, the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) replaced the Housing Fitness Regime as the new risk assessment procedure for residential properties. 

We can inspect your home and take enforcement action to ensure rented homes are healthy and safe. However, you should attempt to resolve the matter with your landlord first. If you do not receive a satisfactory response, please contact us.

We can also inspect your home to check that it meets the minimum standards for housing and issue a letter to confirm this to immigration officials. Currently, there is no charge for this service.
