Private Sector Housing

Our Private Sector Housing Section aims to improve privately owned homes and their neighbourhoods.

We make homes healthy, safe, secure and warm by providing grant or loan assistance and using enforcement powers.

We make neighbourhoods cleaner, greener and safer by clearing or face-lifting blocks of homes and carrying out environmental improvements within designated Renewal Areas.

We have been assessed as providing an excellent three star service by the Audit Commission's "Best Value" inspectors and our work has been recognised as best practice nationally through "Beacon Council" awards for Housing Renewal and Neighbourhood Renewal.

In addition, we have been awarded a "Charter Mark" for our commitment to customer care, "Investor in People" status for our staff training and "ISO 9001" for our quality assured processes.
