Product Information

While not all these methods will directly function in social housing, the logic still applies. Social housing providers can embrace the same levels of customer obsession that retailers and others display, whilst utilising the latest technologies to better understand and anticipate customer expectations. This includes a resident reporting concern after her young son developed chest problems which she believes is because of severe damp and mould in her home.

You can think of a city as a giant labour market: all the businesses looking for people with the right skills, and all the people looking for the right job. It’s a matching problem, so the more places you can easily reach, the more likely you’ll find the right match. May look more expensive but is likely to include some or all utility bills and possibly some other services Notably, renting in the UK has become much more tenant-friendly, thanks to new government restrictions regarding estate agency fees that came into effect in mid-2019. Before that, estate agents could add arbitrary charges such as ‘tenancy set-up fees’ for drawing up a contract or ‘viewing fees’ after showing you around a property. Now, the only fees permitted are: About 40% of the 1,000-plus flats in Harlow are owned and managed by Caridon, whose latest big development in the town is Terminus House, a nine-storey 1960s office building that sits on top of a multistorey car park. This has been converted into more than 200 flats and opened its doors to its first tenants last April. The company also owns two-storey Templefields House, which according to Harlow council now contains 180 flats, and houses a mixture of social and private tenants. Will it work? Well, yes and no. In terms of securing them another shot at government, it’s probably too late for the Tories to turn it around using only the threat of men in women’s changing rooms and the “invasion” of a few thousand asylum seekers. But that’s not a reason to see these plays as harmless, last-ditch efforts that will evaporate when they are no longer in government.Adequate housing must provide more than four walls and a roof. A number of conditions must be met before particular forms of shelter can be considered to constitute “adequate housing.” These elements are just as fundamental as the basic supply and availability of housing. For housing to be adequate, it must, at a minimum, meet the following criteria: While anyone can buy or let property in the UK, there are strict laws when it comes to immigration and residence conditions for accessing social housing. Each council has different rules for who can apply. Some have nothing to do with the typical Chinese traditional house, an example of this are the Tulou of which we will talk later. The houses in China are among the most varied in the world. Siheyuan

The landlord is now taking steps to encourage a culture shift to updating live documents in the databases, including reviewing the permissions to ensure document integrity, and the Ombudsman proposes the landlord prioritises a tenancy audit to establish who is living in the homes, vulnerabilities and the presence of children. Tenants that rent social housing usually do so from a housing association, while those that rent council housing do so from the local council. As a rule, you need to fall under one of the following criteria to qualify for this:

Good practice case studies and resources

While revenues from real estate have accumulated, our cities have become increasingly unaffordable. In many countries women, religious and ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, migrants and refugees face discrimination in relation to housing or live in the most appalling conditions. Spatial segregation excludes many residents from equal access to public services, education, transportation and other opportunities. Local Governments are often at the forefront of the struggle for housing and can play a key role in protecting and realizing the right to adequate housing. Homelessness and informal settlements It continued: "This strongly indicates that unsympathetic, inappropriate, or even heavy-handed behaviour towards residents is present throughout the landlord’s interactions. It may be easier for you to initially come to the UK alone, and stay in temporary, single housing while you look for a family home. Once you have found longer-term housing for yourself and your family, your family can travel to the UK. For Round 3, funding was targeted to places based on Levelling Up Need. The Levelling Up Need metrics draw on the extensive evidence base as set out in the Levelling Up White Paper and represents our most up to date assessment of Levelling Up Need. Levelling Up Need has also been used as part of the methodology to select places in our Long Term Plan for Towns, Investment Zones and Levelling Up Partnerships.
