New Housing LIN Viewpoint (108) shares impact of new consumer standards on the specialist housing sector

The Social Housing Regulation Act 2023 came into force in July 2023. To coincide, the Regulator of Social Housing (“RSH”) has been busy preparing its new “proactive” consumer regulation regime. Following a range of consultations which concluded early this year, the new regime came into force on 1st April 2024.

This Housing LIN viewpoint 108, written by Ellis Pugh, Solicitor at Shakespeare Martineau, considers what the new consumer standards and inspection regime mean for registered providers in the specialist and supported housing sector.
