Information on the rent increase

From April 2021 your rent will be increasing by 1.5% for our customers.
The additional income is required to re-invest in our existing homes, and to provide much needed affordable housing which will go a long way to address a national shortage in affordable homes. It also ensures that we are investing in keeping our homes warm, effectively thermally insulated and safe.

The proposed increase will not only ensure that we will be able to improve our homes and communities, but it also provides us with the financial certainty that allows us to carry on being a landlord of choice now and well into the future.

We can assure you that the rent we receive will all be spent on investing in our existing homes, improving the services we offer and building more homes. Our plans show how we will be investing even more in your homes than will be generated from the proposed rent increase.

We will be spending money on the following:

£44,000.00 on new bathrooms
£12,500.00 on new windows
£171,000.00 on new doors
£112,000.00 on new kitchens
£103,000.00 on electrical re-wires
£90,000.00 on heating systems
£100,000.00 on roofs
