Event Summary
With regular inspections of social landlords and new Consumer Standards due to come into effect from 1 April 2024, join Westminster Insight’s Preparing for Housing Inspections Conference to hear practical guidance to help you prepare for the changes.
You will hear directly from the Regulator and Housing Ombudsman about how they are gearing up for new consumer regulation and their expectations for social housing providers under the new inspections regime.
You will hear from landlords involved in the first and second waves of the pilot inspection programme. Understand the purpose of the pilots, outcomes, lessons learnt, and what social landlords should expect before inspections are rolled out from April 2024.
We will share approaches and best practice from landlords and councils who are embracing change and demonstrating that they are providing good quality homes and services for tenants. Hear a legal update on the implications of the new regulations for landlords and tenants. The Housing Quality Network will deliver an overview of the costs associated with housing inspections and assess different sources of funding.
