Working together for a better home
We will provide you with a 'Decent Home' which is warm, well maintained and reasonably well equipped.
The Decent Homes Standard is a target set by the Government for all social housing landlords.
To be classed as a decent home, the property has to pass these four tests, it:
- Must meet statutory minimum standards for housing, currently defined by the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS)
- Needs to be in a reasonable state of repair
- Needs to have reasonably modern facilities and services
- Needs to provide a reasonable degree of thermal comfort.
We will provide a decent home efficiently maintained with' just-in-time' asset management (JIT) principles to ensure that it is fit for purpose.
We will:
- Carry out an inspection of your home's condition every five years
- Rectify any faults which stop your home meeting the decent homes standard (section five of Decent Home Standard) within 12 months.
