Stock rationalisation
We’ve grown considerably in recent years, through partnerships with other housing associations, developing new homes and acquiring stock.
For us, stock rationalisation – whether we’re acquiring or transferring homes – is about consolidating our presence in certain areas, in line with our strategy, to deliver cost efficiencies and a better service to residents.
We’ve acquired or transferred more than 11,000 homes, and we currently have proposals under consideration to acquire an ongoing pipeline of properties.
Over the years, we’ve gained a great deal of knowledge about what works and what doesn’t in stock rationalisation deals. This has helped us create a model which accurately assesses the value of the stock to the business.
We have a dedicated team responsible for all aspects of potential agreements, from making sure due diligence is carried out to communicating with residents.
And the work isn’t done after acquisitions take place - we continue to keep residents engaged so we can understand their needs and carry out repairs and improvements to their properties.
