Housing Health and Safety Rating System

The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is a national tool used in the UK to assess the safety and condition of residential properties. It evaluates potential health and safety hazards such as damp, mold, fire risks, or poor ventilation. Property inspections identify issues that could affect the well-being of occupants. If hazards are found, enforcement actions or improvements may be required to ensure the property is safe and suitable for living. The system helps landlords, authorities, and tenants maintain safe, healthy housing standards.
