#2026/629Correction to England’s Housing Health and Safety Rating System Transition Date
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation fixes a date error in earlier housing safety rules for England. It changes the transitional inspection date in the 2026 amendment regulations from 22 June 2026 to 23 June 2026, matching the date those rules come into force. The practical effect is narrow. Local housing authorities, landlords, property managers, and housing compliance teams should use 23 June 2026 as the cut-off date when deciding how the amended Housing Health and Safety Rating System applies to inspections.
