We want all our properties to reach the government's Decent Homes
standard. A home is decent when it is comfortable, warm and has modern facilities. The
Decent Homes programme is what we call the process of surveying all of our properties and
working on them to make sure they are up to the government's standard. In many homes we will
need to do works to the electrics and heating in order to bring the property up to standard.
Once we have assessed your electrics and heating, you can choose other improvements from a menu.
Other works could include improvements to kitchens and bathrooms.
Please note that having Decent Homes work done to your property doesn't affect your
rent.
We have produced a comprehensive guide to the Decent Homes programme for customers.
One guide for customers in the north of the borough
and one for those in the south. For more information
please download one of the guides.
If you have any questions about the programme you might find the answer in our frequently asked questions for Decent Homes.
