The new regulatory framework for social housing comes into force on 01 April 2024 and we need to be able to demonstrate a better understanding of the condition of our housing stock.
Regardless of external factors, the Council has always been committed to providing good quality housing so it is important we have a robust grasp of the condition of our stock which requires an up to date survey to be undertaken.
An initial sample of around 10% was procured competitively through the ECC procurement partnership and a national framework. It is proposed to recommission Property Tectonics to complete a further sample of 15% of the stock directly.
