Housing health and safety rating system (HHSRS)
It is important that houses are checked regularly to make sure they are safe and healthy to live in.
The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) looks at the risks to health and safety in housing, and what action is needed to bring buildings up to the right standard.
