Local authority stock retention and new build options
Local authorities still own and manage a very significant proportion of social housing in England. We understand the challenges faced by these retention authorities of meeting the decent homes standard (and beyond) on the one hand and the sustaining their housing revenue account on the other.
We offer advice on
- efficient procurement and partnering
- housing finance reform
- partial housing transfer schemes
- PFI schemes
- regeneration projects
In addition and as housing has risen up the political agenda, is now clear that local housing authorities will, once again, have the realistic prospect of building, or facilitating the construction of, new affordable housing.
For local authorities who may be considering the development of new affordable housing we offer advice on
- local housing companies
- prudential borrowing
- housing finance reform
- special purpose vehicles
- joint venture structures
- PFI schemes
- strategic procurement issues
Our current portfolio of work includes advice on a wide range of local housing company models for pilot authorities and many others.
