Housing Associations
Most Housing Associations are more than willing to support residents in taking control of their Management Company, to reduce their Service Charge bills and to deliver better quality of services.
Ultimately Housing Association tenants and shared owners will also get the benefit of these improvements.
The Challenges that Housing Associations Face
- Housing Associations rely on second hand reports from their tenants and shared owners about any issues on site.
- In some cases, Housing Associations are not close enough to the running of the Management Company to build confidence that their interests’ are being looked after.
Similar to Residents:
- Paying unreasonable Service Charges for services they may not receive.
- Having no influence over the service they receive, or the Service Charges they pay.
What Can Residents First Do for Housing Associations?
- Residents First has already started providing support to Housing Associations that have had concerns over Management Companies relating to sites they have a vested interest in.
- Housing Associations can recommend to the Management Company Board that Residents First be engaged to provide support.
