Housing

Our rented housing stock on 31 March 2025 was made up of:

  • 436 general needs homes
  • five shared ownership properties
  • 35 homes let at intermediate rents and
  • two homes at market rents.

Our total fixed assets were £57m.

Repairs

During 2024-25, we carried out 1,606 repairs of all kinds. In total, we spent £827,227 on day-to-day repairs.

We completed 99.32% of our emergency repairs on target, as well as 99.46% of our urgent repairs and 98.65% of our routine repairs. All of our homes had their annual gas safety check.

For non-emergencies, we aim to work to a higher standard than expected by our regulator. We call this our gold standard. We met our gold standard timescale targets for urgent and routine repairs – by completing urgent work in an average of 2.04 days and routine work in 7.65 days. This means we compare very well to other similar landlords.

Value for Money

Value for Money (VfM) remains a fundamental principle underpinning both our governance and operational decision-making. Throughout the year, we embedded VfM into our financial planning, service delivery and investment priorities. Our annual budgeting process includes efficiency measures, with clear targets set and monitored in line with sector norms.

We continue to track our performance against key sector scorecard metrics and have undertaken peer benchmarking exercises to assess how we compare with similar-sized housing providers. This brings transparency about our performance and helps us to identify areas for improvement.

Membership of the BME London Landlords group and the Build London Partnership continue to add value to our work and boost our development plans.
