Awaab’s Principle: Practical Tips for Making Legislation the Floor, Not the Ceiling, for Housing and Surveying Practice

In the wake of Awaab’s Law and the growing focus on tackling damp and mould, housing providers and surveyors have a vital opportunity to go beyond compliance. Legislation sets the minimum standard, but lasting change comes from embedding best practice into everyday work.

In this session, Sava is joined by Rosie Wills from Nova Surveyors to explore how housing and surveying professionals can put Awaab’s Principle into practice. Drawing on real-world examples and sector insight, Rosie will share practical approaches for raising standards, including:

• Making the most of remote triage and desktop investigation to identify and prioritise risks early.
• Embedding robust void property practices to prevent issues before tenancies begin.
• Enhancing tenant communication to build trust, ensure clarity, and encourage reporting.
• Strengthening multi-agency working to achieve faster, more coordinated responses.

This webinar will provide attendees with practical strategies and insights to help support safer, healthier homes.
