Planned maintenance and Decent Homes works in a social home

How do we deliver it?

We start by checking the programme data against what our surveyors find, because ordering components for the wrong homes is the most expensive mistake in planned works.

Which rules apply in Exeter?

Since April 2024 the Regulator of Social Housing has inspected landlords with more than 1,000 homes against its consumer standards, on at least a four-year cycle. The Safety and Quality Standard expects an accurate, up-to-date and evidenced understanding of the condition of every home, based on physical assessment.
