How many grants have been funded by the Welsh Government to private sector landlords to bring empty properties and those not up to the Welsh housing quality standard back into use over the past two financial years?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 05/12/2023

Under Leasing Scheme Wales, the Welsh Government has so far provided 60 grants to private sector landlords to bring empty properties back into use over the past two financial years.

Private Sector Housing is not required to meet the Welsh Housing Quality Standard but is required to meet The Renting Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Regulations 2022.
