Void property works in the South East
Void turnaround in the South East starts with a clear scope. We survey the home against your lettable standard, price it item by item and work to a handover date.
We take on void property works for social landlords across the South East: housing associations, councils, ALMOs and supported housing providers in all 64 council areas, to the rules that apply in England.

Which rules apply in the South East?
Social homes in England must meet the Decent Homes Standard, enforced through the Regulator of Social Housing's Safety and Quality Standard. A reformed standard, confirmed in January 2026, must be met by 2035 at the latest.
What does it cost in the South East?
Our guide range for a minor void in the South East is £1,650–£3,850 per void. That is the UK range of £1,500–£3,500 (our estimate) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 1.10 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: 1.05–1.15); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
We sequence the trades so the slow items (certificates, any asbestos work, kitchens) start first, and decoration and cleaning finish last. That is usually where days are won or lost.

How quickly can you turn a void round?
It depends on the scope, access to certificates and whether asbestos work is needed. We give a target handover date with every quote and tell you as soon as anything threatens it.
What is the difference between a minor and a major void?
There is no single sector definition. Most landlords call a void minor when it needs only safety checks, small repairs, decoration and cleaning, and major when it needs a kitchen, bathroom, rewire, heating or structural work. We use your definitions when we price.
