Stock Rationalisation

Efficiency is now central to the Government's agenda for investing in and regulating affordable housing.

A housing organisation’s ability to attract funding and to develop new stock is dependent on demonstrating year on year efficiency savings and stock rationalisation is becoming an increasingly popular and attractive tool to achieve this.

Stock rationalisation can help increase efficiency by:

  • reducing geographical areas, thereby improving efficiency;

  • reducing the number of boroughs in operation, enabling greater focus on core localities and communities;

  • raising money to invest in existing and new homes in core strategic areas; and

  • streamlining existing tenures, including sheltered housing and student accommodation.

We offer a complete understanding of the disposals process of tenanted and vacant stock, from identification of suitable properties through the tendering process to completion of the sale.  We have a reputation for having a businesslike approach, delivering on time and to budget, and making the process as straightforward as possible.

We obtain the best value, both financially and strategically by providing:

  • a bolt-on service that does not affect existing projects and resources;

  • a competitive tender process

  • comprehensive TUPE and pensions advice;

  • Housing Corporation compliance, including Section 9 consent;

  • local authority liaison;

  • effective resident consultation; and

  • a successful outcome.
