Private Housing

The Council is committed to improving the quality of private sector accommodation, particularly for vulnerable and elderly households.

In particular we want to enable households to live independently in their homes for longer and to increase the supply of good quality private sector accommodation.

There are a number of ways in which we can enable homeowners, tenants and landlords to improve the condition of their homes and increase the energy efficiency and security of their homes.

Cheshire West and Chester has a home assistance policy which sets out the ways in which help can be provided and can be viewed here:
