Supporting Sustainable Social Housing Stock
Strategic asset management and business planning advice helps councils and social housing providers align their housing stock with long-term organisational, financial and regulatory objectives. With increasing pressures from building safety, Decent Homes compliance, net zero commitments, funding constraints and changing demand, a clear, evidence-based strategy is essential to ensure housing stock remains safe, affordable and sustainable.
We provide independent, practical advice that links asset performance data directly to business planning, enabling informed decisions about investment, risk and long-term viability.
A Strategic Approach to Managing Council and Social Housing Assets
Effective asset management goes beyond maintaining homes. It requires a clear understanding of how housing stock performs over time, how investment decisions affect the Housing Revenue Account or business plan, and how future risks can be managed proactively.
Our advice supports local authorities and registered providers in developing asset strategies that balance financial sustainability, regulatory compliance, service delivery and social outcomes, ensuring that investment is targeted where it delivers the greatest long-term value.
Integrating Asset Data with Business Planning
We work with you to review and interpret existing asset data, including stock condition information, compliance and building safety data, lifecycle and maintenance costs, energy performance and demand trends. This data is used to model future investment requirements and assess their impact on long-term business plans.
By linking asset performance to financial planning, we help organisations understand the consequences of different investment scenarios and make informed choices about affordability, risk and prioritisation.
Supporting Key Strategic Challenges
Our strategic asset management advice supports organisations in responding to:
- Long-term Housing Revenue Account or corporate business planning
- Decent Homes and emerging regulatory standards

- Regeneration, redevelopment and stock rationalisation decisions
We provide clarity on trade-offs and help organisations develop strategies that are realistic, defensible and deliverable.
