Get your housing vehicles fit for the future
The LGR pause is a perfect opportunity for you to review the vehicles you have in place for housing – whether that’s a housing company, partnership, joint venture or a combination. Before the reorganisation and devolution agendas move forward – in whatever form, it’s important you have a clear, evidence-based view of how your current vehicles are performing, and what would be beneficial to do next.
Housing company health check
Our Housing Company Health Check is a short, sharp, 4-week review, which gives you a concise report with a clear assessment of your housing company, prioritised recommendations and, where needed, options for the company’s future.
It covers four key areas:
- Performance and value for money
Is your company delivering what it was set up to do, and is it better value than the alternatives? - Financial sustainability
We stress test the business plan, financial model, funding structure and pipeline. - Governance
We check whether the shareholder and company relationship is clear and proportionate, and that the right oversight is in place. - Strategic fit
We assess how well the company aligns with your housing strategy, and how it would sit alongside neighbouring councils’ vehicles after reorganisation.
Housing vehicle ecosystem review
If you’ve got multiple vehicles in place across companies, partnerships and joint ventures, we can provide a more bespoke review, to help you understand what you have now and what might be right for the future. What’s clear is, with devolution and new investment funding on the horizon, you need delivery vehicles that can move at pace.
We’ll look at what you have in place, how each vehicle is performing and recommend a route forward, considering how reorganisation and devolution may play its part too. You’ll have a view on how vehicles complement each other, where the overlaps are and where the risks are. And you’ll have a set of recommendations to take to members with confidence.
