The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2026

These Regulations amend the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 (S.I. 2026/571) (“the 2026 Regulations”). The 2026 Regulations made a series of amendments to the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/3208). Those amendments are subject to a transitional provision in regulation 10 of the 2026 Regulations which clarifies how those amendments apply in relation to inspections which begin either before, or on or after the date on which the amendments come into force. Regulation 10 should have referred to the 23rd June 2026, which is the date on which the 2026 Regulations come into force, rather than referring to the 22nd June. These Regulations correct regulation 10 of the 2026 Regulations by changing the date to 23rd June 2026.
