Quarterly Housing Update

Your source for regular and topical insights on housing.

'Housing' looks very different to what it did even ten years ago, when the economy had largely recovered from the 2008/9 financial crisis.

We were pre-Grenfell and in an era of low interest rates where sustainability and net zero still seemed a distant challenge. The housing sector is now facing perhaps its biggest challenge to date: 340,000 homes are required per annum. The economic climate is uncertain, high-cost inflation, comparably high interest rates, 'beefed-up' consumer standards, regulatory scrutiny, contractor insolvency, combined with demands of building safety, damp and mould and net zero.

Staying informed becomes paramount. We are committed to providing those operating within the sector regular insights to help better understand and navigate the ever-evolving landscape. Below you can find the insights from our most recent edition.

STAIRs: what social housing providers need to know about the new transparency requirements

The Social Tenant Access to Information Requirements (STAIRs) represent a significant shift in the regulatory landscape for private registered providers (RPs) of social housing. Introduced as part of the government's broader drive to improve transparency and accountability in the sector, STAIRs will give social housing tenants of RPs new rights to access information about how their homes and estates are managed; these rights being broadly comparable to those already available to tenants of local authorities under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
