EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England) (Amendment)
Regulations 2026 (S.I. 2026/571) (“the 2026 Regulations”). The 2026 Regulations made a series
of amendments to the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I.
2005/3208). Those amendments are subject to a transitional provision in regulation 10 of the 2026
Regulations which clarifies how those amendments apply in relation to inspections which begin
either before, or on or after the date on which the amendments come into force. Regulation 10 should
have referred to the 23rd June 2026, which is the date on which the 2026 Regulations come into
force, rather than referring to the 22nd June. These Regulations correct regulation 10 of the 2026
Regulations by changing the date to 23rd June 2026.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant impact
on the private, voluntary of public sector is foreseen.
