Housing Health and Safety Rating System

The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), also known as 'The Rating System', was introduced as a result of the Housing Act (2004).

The underlying principle of the HHSRS is that 'all residential premises should provide a safe and healthy environment for any potential occupier or visitor', and evaluates potential health and safety risks in homes.
