As part of our obligation under the housing act 2004, we will work closely with the borough’s landlords and property or letting agents to ensure that privately rented homes are safe and of high quality.
We are conducting a survey of private rented housing to gather information about the building and property conditions of the borough’s private rented sector. We aim to survey 800 to 1000 private rented properties from May to October 2024.
Surveys will be completed and recorded by an independent surveyor and will include an assessment of the property against the Decent Homes Standard. Each survey will take no longer than 45 minutes.
We will use information from the stock conditions survey to produce a report on the borough’s private rented sector and to help the private sector housing team identify any action that may need to be taken.
If you would like to help or have a question please telephone 020 8726 6000 extension 28058 or email LBCpropertyinspection@croydon.gov.uk.
