West of England Private Housing Information

Welcome to the West of England Private Housing website - an information resource for homeowners, private tenants and landlords developed by the four West of England local authorities. Information on our common approach can be found here.

The four local authorities (Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol City, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Councils) have worked closely with a number of other agencies and partners in gathering information for the website.

The website carries information on the following:

• Licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)
• Accreditation of private rented accommodation
• Fire safety in housing
• The Landlord Manual
• The Landlord Development Course
• The Landlord Expo
• The West of England Landlord Panel
• The Private Tenant Manual
• The Housing Health & Safety Rating System
• Empty Properties

Use the main menu on the left of this page to find your way through the site.  Alternatively type in the subject you are looking for in the search box above the menu.
