Government issues new HHSRS guide for letting agents

The government has issued a new guide on the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) aimed at letting agents, according to a report by Letting Agent Today.

The report states that all of the updates covered by the guide apply only to England. Agents and inventory clerks operating in England may wish to review the guidance directly, as the HHSRS is the mechanism used to assess hazards in residential properties.

Further details of the guide's contents were not included in the source material, so agents should consult the original article and the government guidance itself for the full picture.
