Home Loss and Distrurbance Payment Policy

Overview

We are working in partnership with local residents to develop our Home Loss and Disturbance Payment Policy.

Sandwell Council’s policy ensures tenants permanently rehoused due to improvement or redevelopment works receive fair compensation. It outlines how Home Loss and Disturbance Payments will be made and ensures a consistent, supportive approach throughout the process.

Please take the time to read the draft policy before responding.

Comments are invited on the consultation by Friday 13th June 2025. Your responses to this consultation will be anonymous.

Why your views matter

It is really important that we have the perspective of as many people as possible who live and work in Sandwell every day when developing the policy. We want to make sure that everyone has had an opportunity to be part of shaping this with us and look forward to hearing from as many of you as possible.
