The Regulator for Social Housing is a stand alone non departmental public body of government. Their role is to promote a viable, efficient and well-governed social housing sector able to deliver more and better social homes.
As part of their role they have developed a set of standards which all registered housing providers like ourselves must comply with.
Their standards fall under two headings economic and consumer. Local authorities are not regulated under the economic standards.
From 1st April 2024 the following consumer standards apply:
- Neighbourhood and Community Standard
- Safety and Quality Standard
- Tenancy Standard
- Transparency, Influence and Accountability Standard
Here you can find detailed information on the standards.
Our Housing Management Team ensures compliance with the standards. In accordance with the new requirements our Healthy & Safety Lead is our Property Services Manager.
Annual Report To Tenants and Leaseholders
The Social Housing Regulator requires all social housing providers to produce an annual report for its tenants.

What are local service offers?
In addition to the national standards we are required to work with tenants to produce agreed local service offers. These sit below the national standards and are tailored to the needs of the local area. The phrase ‘local’ is left to each provider to determine in partnership with its tenants.
How have local service offers been developed?
- We worked with tenants and leaseholders. Since then they have been updated annually with tenants and leaseholders.
- The Local Offers are monitored and reviewed and reported back at the end of each financial year via Threshold/our annual report for tenants and leaseholders.
