Dealing with the Private Rented Sector

The private rented sector is an important element of any local housing market. But it is one where property condition often gives cause for concern. Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) present particular issues and require a dedicated response to eliminate some of the worst housing conditions found.

CPC offers a highly skilled team of Regeneration and Housing health consultants to work with authorities addressing the private rented sector and houses in multiple occupation.

Whether you need advice, information or direct action our team is available to help with:

• Developing HMO policies and procedures and undertaking staff training
  
• Developing HMO strategies
  
• Preparing HMO registration schemes including examining the new licensing arrangements (see licensing insert)


• Undertaking HMO surveys
  
• Project managing implementation through grant or enforcement procedures
  
• Taking enforcement action including preparing notices, prosecutions, control orders and acting as witnesses

If you need to ensure that your private rented sector contributes to your local housing strategy, assists in reducing homelessness, offers safe housing for vulnerable tenants and does not contravene legislative requirements, call our team for a professional response.
