The UK's first independent Registry for Health in Housing

The Healthy Homes Checklist (HHC) is an assessment tool and consumer-accessible database created to help developers, designers and decision-makers to assess, improve and showcase how their homes support human health.

What is the HHC?

The Healthy Homes Checklist (HHC) is a science-backed, expert-managed assessment tool with 120 practical recommendations to review your development’s health credentials - from materials and daylight to air quality, layout, and beyond.

​

Whether you’re creating a small development or a large-scale masterplan, refurbishment or newbuild, the HHC helps you to design, build and operate better places for people to live and thrive in.

​

Homes that have undergone the analysis will be added to an independent national registry for health in housing.
