The UK Government is committed to levelling up across the whole of the UK to ensure that no community is left behind. The Levelling Up White Paper sets out the Government’s ambition to increase homeownership and housing quality in the rental sectors.

We will ensure local leaders have the power to deliver the housing needed in their local areas, delivering the homes this country needs in the areas that need them most.

The Government has also committed to improve housing quality in rented sectors, with biggest improvements in the lowest performing areas. Reviews of the Decent Homes Standard and the Housing Health and Safety Rating system already underway; the latter will make the system more efficient and accessible, making it easier for local authorities and residents to hold landlords to account.
