Good condition
The Household Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) defines good condition - free from deficiency.
The Welsh Housing Quality Standard 2023, published by the Welsh Government in October 2023, defines deficiency as: ‘…a failure of an element to meet the Ideal (The perceived optimum Standard, at the time of the assessment, intended to prevent avoid or minimise the hazard). The failure could be inherent, such as a result of the original design, construction or manufacture, or it could be a result of deterioration, disrepair or a lack of repair or maintenance.’
