CAPA podcast – Closure Orders are opening up

Join Rebecca Sembuuze and Banita Gogia from the housing litigation team as they explore the practical use of closure orders and the significant changes coming into force from 26 October 2026, when registered providers will gain the power to apply for them directly.

In this podcast episode, they explain what closure orders are, when they can be an effective solution for tackling serious nuisance, criminal behaviour and cuckooing, and the key legal tests, timescales and procedural requirements involved. The discussion also covers enforcement, potential penalties for breaches, and practical tips for housing professionals to ensure applications are well prepared and successful.
