What this report is for.
This Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) report is designed for landlords, housing associations, environmental health practitioners and local authorities carrying out residential property risk assessments in line with UK housing standards.
The report provides structured hazard assessments across multiple categories including damp and mould growth, excess cold, excess heat, asbestos exposure and carbon monoxide risks. Each section includes supporting observations, photographic evidence, hazard scoring, likelihood analysis, outcome classifications and recommended improvements to reduce occupant risk.
Typical use cases include housing compliance inspections, enforcement assessments, property condition reviews, tenant safety evaluations and pre-acquisition due diligence for residential housing portfolios.
