All information for housing

The Housing Inspectorate looks at many public sector services including local government and housing and has links with other national inspectorates.

As well as scoring and reporting on housing services we identify and promote positive practice. Every inspection looks for examples of positive practice, innovation, creative ways of overcoming barriers, resistance to change and better use of resources.

The housing national studies programme aims to improve local public services through its independent authoritative analysis of national evidence and local practice.

The Housing Markets Team acts as a critical friend, scrutineer and performance monitor of the Housing Market Renewal (HMR) pathfinders.

The Housing Inspectorate looks at how local authorities provide landlord services to communities; work with the private sector; respond to the problems of homelessness; and enable the provision of good quality housing services.
