Maintaining your home
How we invest in where you live
What’s the Decent Homes Standard?
The Decent Homes Standard is a quality standard, set by the government, that social-rented homes must meet.
The government is currently reviewing the Decent Homes Standard.
How we invest in your home
We’re investing £91.5 million in a five-year programme of major works to make sure that your homes and buildings meet the Decent Homes Standard.
In total, we'll install around 1,250 new kitchens and 400 new bathrooms, alongside a range of other improvements, which include things like windows and roofs.
How we monitor the decency of your home
We follow the detailed government Decent Homes guidelines when checking the condition of homes and deciding what work they might need to meet the necessary standards.
We carry out condition surveys annually. We aim to survey every rented home's shared space, like hallways between flats, at least once every five years, and use this information to plan any improvement work.
If you think your home doesn't meet the Decent Homes Standard, and we haven’t already been in touch to confirm when this work will be done, please contact us.
