Course Content:

The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is undergoing its first major overhaul since 2006.

With the revised HHSRS 2 framework due to come into force June 2026 onwards, private landlords and letting agents need to understand what’s changing — and what this means for inspections, repairs, evidence, and enforcement.

This focused 2‑hour session is designed for those who already have a basic grounding in property health and safety but want a clear, practical update on the new HHSRS structure.

We cut through the consultation noise and provide a concise, sector‑safe explanation of the new hazard profiles, baseline indicators, banding, and expectations for PRS compliance.
