West of England Private Housing Information

Welcome to West of England Private Housing, a resource for homeowners, private tenants and landlords. The site offers a common approach to housing, property and the law for the region.

Help and advice is available here for landlords, property owners, tenants and on issues concerning empty properties.

Landlords and homeowners

Are you currently letting or looking to let in the region? Use the Landlord Manual and factsheets here for help with: safety; Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs); Accreditation - a scheme recognising good quality, well managed rental accommodation. Meanwhile, find out what this year's Landlord Expo event has on offer.

Tenants

Find out about tenancy agreements and your rights and health and safety.

Interested buyers and developers

You could make a regular income from properties that are currently uninhabited. Empty properties can be redeveloped to let or sell on.

Concerned about empty homes?

Are you an owner, neighbour or just a caring local? We can work together to get empty properties back into use, providing housing for those in need and income for owners currently losing out.
