    BASSETLAW DISTRICT COUNCIL

    CABINET

    13th January 2020

    REPORT OF HEAD OF HOUSING

    COUNCIL HOUSING STOCK CONDITION SURVEY

    Cabinet Member: HousingContact: Alison Craig

    1. Public Interest Test

    1.1 The author of this report, Alison Craig, Head of Housing, has determined that thereport is not confidential.

    2. Purpose of the Report

    2.1 To advise Members of the content of the Council Housing Stock Condition SurveyReport.

    3. Background and Discussion

    3.1 The Council is required to produce a 30 year Business Plan for the Housing RevenueAccount (HRA). This plan, required for the last 20 years, became even more relevantto the continued management and maintenance of the Councils’ housing stock underthe self-financing arrangements, which were introduced in 2012.

    3.2 One of the key drivers of the HRA Business Plan is an independent stock conditionsurvey, which best practice suggests should be reviewed every 3 to 5 years.

    3.3 As part of the Housing Service Review Reports to Cabinet on 8th January 2019 and19th March 2019, commitment was given for a full Stock Condition Survey andCompliance Review. The Head of Housing, during meetings with key HousingServices employees prior to the commencement of her employment, identified therequirement for a review as part of her due-diligence of the Service.

    The purpose of which was to strengthen the focus on the management of / and futureinvestment needs of the Council’s Housing assets and compliance, including,providing additional assurances regarding adherence to health and safety mattersincluding, for example asbestos and fire risk management.

    11

  • 3.3 In March 2019, Savills, a firm of Chartered Surveyors with significant experience in Social Housing Stock Condition Surveys and Compliance Areas were appointed through the Procurement Hub Framework to undertake;

    1) A validation of the Council’s existing stock condition data including a physical 30%

    sample survey of the Council’s Housing Stock and; 2) A high level Compliance Review 3.4 This report focuses on the findings of the Stock Condition Survey. The findings of the

    Compliance Review were reported to Members on 15th October 2019. 3.5 The key aim of the Stock Condition Survey is to provide an assessment of the current

    condition of the housing stock and all of the works and associated costs required to maintain the housing stock to a good condition and in accordance with our responsibilities as a Landlord, including an assessment of the properties against the Decent Homes Standard.

    3.6 The findings of the survey are attached at Appendix 1. 3.7 In total, a representative sample of 1,112 dwellings of the Council’s 6,703 properties

    and 100% of all the blocks and associated communal areas received a physical survey.

    The survey is statistically robust within the usual tolerances (+/- 3% accuracy) and is

    regarded as a ‘warranted’ Stock Condition Survey such that the Ministry of Housing , Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) or a funder would accept its findings as a true reflection of the present condition and future investment needs of the Council housing stock.

    Wherever possible the unit costs used in the Stock Condition Survey are based on

    our actual costs in 2019/20 and others used are industry norms. The ‘repair’ categories contained in the Stock Condition Survey are those required by

    Government and match those used in the HRA Business Plan. 3.8 Savills have found that the Council’s housing stock fully complies with the Decent

    Homes Standard, with less than 1% of properties failing the Standard. This compares favourably against a national average of approximately 14% failure and with the Council’s Performance Indicator Outturn from 2018/19, which reported that 5.30% of the stock was non-decent at the 31st March 2019, taking into account work to blocks and where tenants have refused work.

    3.9 The 30-year cost of the required investment to maintain the stock in good condition is

    £459.2m or an average of £15,307m per annum (including responsive repairs, voids and cyclical works funded from revenue). This equates to investment needs of £68,500 per dwelling over 30 years.

    These investment costs are considerably higher than have been seen in comparison

    to previous years Housing Capital Investment Programmes due to the fact that the survey has gathered information relating to all elements and attributes of the Council’s housing stock e.g. internal elements; kitchens, bathrooms, heating and external elements; roofs, windows, doors, footpaths, porches, outbuildings, boundary walls / fences. Prior to this survey, Keystone, the Asset Management database only

    12

  • held limited stock condition information in relation to kitchens, bathrooms, roofs, heating and windows and doors.

    The spread of costs for ‘future major works’ or those which will keep the property in a

    lettable condition is split over the 30 year forecast period with £120.1m (60%) required for internal works and £80.4m (40%) for external / communal works. However, within the next 10 years £24.349m, over 44% of predicted expenditure is for external works, this is reflective of the type of work that has already been carried out to the stock and the general age profile of the stock.

    3.10 All costs are based on current prices (2019) with no allowance for inflation and are

    exclusive of professional fees. 3.11 In overall terms the expenditure profile compares favourably to many local authorities

    with a relatively level spend in each of the next ten years. This will enable the Council to plan and procure works over a longer period and develop a proactive approach to elemental renewals.

    3.12 However, of particular concern are the overall costs in relation to Responsive and

    Void and Cyclical repairs, which amounts to £205,440m over 30 years. This equates to £1,021 per property per year in respect of day to day repairs, void maintenance and servicing.

    These costs are higher than the national average of approximately £850 per property

    per year (including London Authorities).

    4. Implications

    a) For service users The investment profile set out in the Stock Condition Survey will be used to inform the Housing Capital Investment Programme for 2020/21 onwards. By ensuring that work is planned and procured in accordance with this survey will ensure that work to individual properties will be undertaken in a timely manner and mitigate against any future backlog of repairs. This will mean that works can be better planned and tenants notified in advance of work to their home and estate.

    b) Strategic & Policy The Council Plan includes the following strategic priorities;

    1) Improve the quality and performance of Bassetlaw’s housing stock, by regularly inspecting them to ensure that they are maintained to the highest possible standards

    2) Ensure that our housing stock is safe and compliant c) Financial - Ref: 20/758

    The findings of the Stock Condition Survey together will provide a detailed understanding of the existing, cyclical and ongoing compliance area and future long term maintenance needs of the housing stock.

    13

  • The content of the Stock Condition Survey (and much other data) is being transferred into a new HRA Business Plan which will be available for Cabinet in February 2020. This will illustrate the future Housing financial position and level of required capital investment, including additional borrowing requirements, over a 30 year period, although the emphasis will be on the issues in the shorter term. These costs will determine the options available to the Council for investment in compliance areas, maintenance of the existing stock, estate regeneration and new build housing schemes. The costs associated with the Stock Condition Survey can be met within existing capital and revenue budgets for 2019/20.

    All of the associated costs will be met by the Housing Revenue Account

    d) Legal – Ref: 189/01/2020

    The Council, as a Landlord has statutory, regulatory and legislative requirements it must comply with in respect of areas of asset management and compliance. e) Human Resources

    There are no human resource implications associated with this report. f) Community Safety, Equalities, Environmental

    The results of the Stock Condition Survey will have positive impacts on all tenants and residents living within the Council’s Housing Stock, irrespective of their protected characteristics. An Equalities Impact Assessment is attached at Appendix 2.

    g) General Data Protection Regulations There are no GDPR implications arising from this report. h) This is a key decision ref: 774

    5. Options, Risks and Reasons for Recommendations 5.1 To ensure that the Council, as a Landlord, is adopting and implementing an

    appropriate approach to the management and maintenance of its housing stock, that first and foremost meets its statutory and regulatory obligations, manages risk to residents and as a minimum ensures that the housing stock continues to meet the Governments Decent Homes Standard.

    5.2 The overall level of costs identified in the Stock Condition Survey falls outside Savills

    expected benchmark totals for a stock of the size of Bassetlaw’s, due to the costs associated with Response, Void and Cyclical works (£205.440m over 30 years).

    The figures identified in the Stock Condition Survey at Appendix 1 of Savills Report

    for Future Major Repairs (£200.441m) and these costs equate to a 50 / 50 split in

    14

  • respect of Programmed and Responsive Repairs. Best practice suggests this should be at least 60 / 40.

    Therefore during 2020/21 as part of the Housing Services Service Plan a detailed

    review of the Repairs Service will be carried out, including an analysis of expenditure (capital and revenue), external contracts ‘v’ in-sourcing, repairs standards / policy, tenants repairing obligations and re-chargeable repairs.

    5.3 This report is part of a positive and pro-active programme of improvement for the

    Housing Service following the transfer back of the service from A1 Housing in October 2018

    6. Recommendations 6.1 That Cabinet accept the findings set out in the Stock Condition Survey. 6.2 That the Head of Housing updates the HRA Business Plan to incorporate the Stock

    Condition Survey and reports back to Cabinet.

    5.3 This report is part of a positive and pro-active programme of improvement for the

    Housing Service following the transfer back of the service from A1 Housing in October 2018

    6. Recommendations 6.1 That Cabinet accept the findings set out in the Stock Condition Survey. 6.2 That the Head of Housing updates the HRA Business Plan to incorporate the Stock

    Condition Survey and reports back to Cabinet.

  • PART A - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    1.0 Savills was invited to submit a quotation for a sample stock condition/asbestos survey to the

    whole stock by Bassetlaw District Council and we duly submitted our proposal on 29th January

    2019 through the framework provisions of the Professional Services Hub. Following discussion

    at the Council's offices we were instructed to undertake the work. In summary, the main

    objectives of the exercise were:

    a. To provide accurate and statistically reliable information concerning repairs and

    maintenance as well as improvement costs, in the standard business plan reporting

    categories, forecast over a 30 year term. This will be used to assist with the Council’s

    position in light of the Self Financing review;

    b. To collect, validate and report upon attribute and condition information about the stock for

    the purpose of improving existing records and future maintenance planning;

    c. To establish a methodology upon which further surveys may be undertaken in the future

    to supplement this survey exercise;

    d. To provide accessible, reliable and easily maintainable planning data for future repairs,

    maintenance and improvement programmes including the provision of a written summary

    report and outputs to the Council’s computer database containing the survey results.

    1.1 Accordingly we have undertaken a stock condition survey of Bassetlaw District Council’s

    housing stock with a view to assessing the current and future repairs and maintenance liability.

    We have surveyed a representative sample of 1,112 dwellings of the Council’s housing stock of

    6,703 units (excluding leaseholders) and 100% of all blocks and associated communal areas

    as part of the on-going cycle of surveying that the Council is undertaking.

    1.2 The majority of properties within the stock are of traditional construction although there are a

    number of non-traditional properties including Airey, Laing, Cornish, MFConcrete, Tarran,

    Wates and Wimpey no-fines construction.

    24

  • 1.3 The total forecast expenditure to improve and maintain the stock and related assets over 30-

    years equals £459.2m. This equates to £68,500 per dwelling or £2,283 per dwelling per annum.

    The costs are at a base date of October 2019 and comprise items of capital and revenue

    maintenance expenditure; they include contract preliminaries, but exclude professional fees,

    management costs and VAT. The breakdown of expenditure is illustrated in the table below:

    1.4 The overall level of costs falls at the higher end, but within our benchmark totals. This is due to

    the identification of major estate improvement works and sheltered scheme refurbishments, plus

    higher than average responsive and void costs.

    1.5 The spread of costs for Future Major Works (capital replacement works) is split over the 30-

    year forecast period with £120.1m (60%) required for internal works and £80.4m (39%) for

    external/communal works.

    25

  • 1.6 The responsive/void and cyclical, or ‘revenue’, works total £205.4m over the 30-year forecast

    period. These costs were derived from reviewing current Council expenditure and will ensure

    that existing commitments in this regard will continue to be met.

    1.7 The investment forecast also includes for capital works that the Council has identified that are

    outside of the scope of a stock conditions survey and these are derived from other specialist

    inspections and studies. In total this equates to £27.97m and includes items such as structural

    works to non-traditional dwellings, estate improvements and remodelling/refurbishment of

    various schemes

    1.8 Our stock condition survey has included an assessment of the properties against the decent

    homes criteria as set out by the CLG. In undertaking this piece of work, we have assessed the

    properties in terms of the Housing Health and Safety Rating system, together with an

    assessment of the key/other building components, modern facilities and thermal comfort.

    1.9 The stock fully complies with the Decent Homes Guidance. This percentage compares with a

    Local Authority failure rate of 14.3% [ref: English House Condition Survey Headline Report;

    CLG, 2014-15]. As with all landlords, the Council will have ongoing in year failures to deal with

    and plan for dwellings that are potentially non-decent in the short and medium term.

    1.10 The cost of achieving decent homes to ensure all dwellings are decent within the next five years

    is included within our cost summaries. The 30 year forecast will also ensure that all dwellings

    are maintained to this standard throughout this term.

    1.11 All information recorded during the stock condition survey has been loaded onto the Council’s

    Keystone Asset Management database and all reports have been produced from this system

    once validated and loaded.

    26

  • PART B – MAIN REPORT

    2.0 INTRODUCTION

    2.1 Savills was invited to submit a quotation for a stock condition survey by Bassetlaw District

    Council and we duly submitted our proposal on 29th January 2019 through the framework

    provisions of the Professional Services Hub. Following an interview at the Council's offices we

    were instructed to undertake the work.

    2.2 We have undertaken 1,112 dwellings (17%) of the Council’s housing stock of 6,703 units

    (excluding leaseholders) and 100% of all blocks and associated communal areas to assist with

    maintaining the Council’s data records in good and accurate order.

    2.3 We worked with the Council to obtain the information we required, such as address lists, location

    plans, details of construction types, etc. The survey work was undertaken during August to

    October 2019 and the survey data was subsequently loaded onto our computer system. A

    summary of all costs is included at Appendix 1, and a detailed elemental cost report included

    at Appendix 2.

    2.4 The primary purpose of the Stock Condition Survey has been to assess the cost of the work to

    repair and maintain the stock for the next 30 years, the results of which will be used to inform

    the Council’s business planning in relation to Local Authority Self Financing. Also, the survey

    has assessed the requirements to bring all properties to a decent standard and then to maintain

    them at that standard thereafter.

    27

  • 3.0 PROPERTY DATABASE AND SAMPLING

    3.1 Address List

    3.1.1 A database of properties was provided by the Council, representing the stock as at May 2019

    which was used as the basis to select the sample and to extrapolate the costs from the survey.

    Great reliance has therefore been placed on its contents.

    3.1.2 After the asset register was received from the Council, Savills reviewed this to gain a broad

    understanding of the housing stock and associated assets. This helped inform our sampling

    strategy and the categorisation of the dwellings into property archetypes. After this review we

    were able to give our impressionistic output review, which was forwarded to the client who

    approved our sampling matrix.

    3.1.3 The housing stock totals 6,703 tenanted dwellings (excluding leaseholders and shared

    ownership), which we have broken into the following property areas and archetypes:

    3.2 Sampling

    3.2.1 The purpose of the sampling process is to present a representative picture of the maintenance

    requirements of the stock using detailed surveys of a limited number of properties. The most

    straightforward approach to this is a simple random sample, however where characteristics are

    known in advance, there is benefit in creating a “stratified” sample. Typically, maintenance

    requirements will correlate closely with the characteristics of the sample data, thereby increasing

    the reliability of the results from a limited sample.

    3.2.2 The survey brief requested a representative sample survey of the whole stock that will provide

    statistically valid results and set a platform for future surveys. In order to provide statistically

    accurate results at an area level, Savills reviewed the asset register in order to achieve this aim.

    3.2.3 Un-surveyed property costs were cloned from those produced by the surveyed sample. The

    cloning methodology is based on copying surveyed data to properties that were not surveyed,

    located in the same area and of the same type. The work undertaken at the outset of the project,

    as referred to in item 4.2 above, ensured we had the data to undertake this exercise.

    31

  • 4.0 METHODOLOGY

    4.1 The Survey Team

    4.1.1 The Savills team specialising in planned maintenance and stock condition surveys undertook

    the survey. The team of surveyors, all of whom are Chartered Surveyors or staff of similar

    standing, have extensive experience in mass survey projects and were fully briefed on the

    requirements of the survey before any inspections were carried out on site.

    4.2 Quality Control

    4.2.1 Prior to survey commencement, a pro-forma was devised which was used for data collection.

    A list of the elements assessed is included at Appendix 2. The information was gathered on

    tablet computers and transferred into our computer database for it to be checked, collated and

    validated. The methodology and survey objectives were shared and tested by Savills and the

    Council during a day’s pilot survey held prior to the commencement of the main survey.

    4.2.2 In addition to a comprehensive briefing of all surveyors prior to commencing the inspections,

    de-briefing meetings were held with all surveyors at the end of each day to enable queries to be

    dealt with immediately. Spot checks were also made on site of completed surveys to check

    compliance with the agreed methodology.

    4.3 Validation of Data

    4.3.1 Once the surveys were completed, they were loaded onto our computer database and extensive

    validation was undertaken electronically to check for anomalies and inconsistencies. Examples

    of validation routines include:

    32

  • Range checks that ensure all dwellings have the correct amount of survey data and that

    the desired sample has been achieved.

    Consistency routines that will look for anomalies between dwellings in certain areas (e.g.

    if all of the surveyed roofs in one street have a life expectancy of 20 years, but one has a

    life expectancy of 5 years then an exception report will be produced that is then

    investigated).

    Quantity checking designed to prevent errors of survey collection or data inputting (e.g.

    an extra zero is accidentally added to a roof quantity of 100 sq m making it 1000 sq m).

    Benchmarking the outputs of the survey against similar housing stocks.

    33

  • 5.0 REPAIR/INVESTMENT CATEGORIES

    The survey brief identified various investment categories by which the survey results were to be

    presented. These categories mirror those required by the business plan. We can confirm that we have

    complied with this aspect of the brief and fuller explanations of each individual category are provided

    below.

    5.1 Future Major Works

    5.1.1 These are defined as “the provision, which should be adequated to cover the periodic overhaul

    / refurbishment / renewal of the building components and landlords’ fixtures and fittings, to keep

    the property in lettable condition”.

    5.1.2 All building elements have a natural life expectancy, at the end of which they have to be

    renewed. The life expectancies used in generating costs were based on the following:

    Industry standards.

    HAPM Property Mutual Limited manual.

    RICS and BRE publications: “Life Expectancies of Building Components”.

    The Council’s experience.

    Our experience.

    5.1.3 Our surveyors used their professional judgement to establish when a building component

    requires replacement and inserted the appropriate year on the survey form. For older building

    components, or those which we believed to have a limited remaining life, life cycles were ignored

    and our assessment was based on the condition, as found on site from our survey.

    5.1.4 We have only recorded those items that will require renewal within the next 30 years and those

    items falling outside of that period have not been subject to a replacement cost within our report.

    34

  • 5.1.5 A full breakdown by individual element is included at Appendix 2. The elements, however, can

    be grouped together to present the costs under larger grouped headings, as shown below:

    Future Major Works Years 1-30

    Kitchens 31,125,250 15.5%

    Bathrooms 25,610,600 12.8%

    Communal Areas 1,887,210 0.9%

    Total £200,441,005

    35

  • 5.1.6 As can be seen from the table and graph above, substantial investment is required for all

    groupings over the next 30 years with heating, roofing, bathroom and kitchen renewals being

    the most prominent.

    5.1.7 The spread of costs across the 30 year forecast period varies on each element. The factors

    that will determine the requirement for a replacement will include its age, condition, time since

    last repair/replacement, exposure, damage etc. The two tables below are intended to

    demonstrate firstly the amount of expenditure required for each group in each ten year period

    and secondly, where the greatest proportions of spend is for each group.

    36

  • 5.1.8 The striking points from the coloured table are as follows:

    The effect of the decent homes programme is evident with the components covered by

    this programme all having higher relative spend in later year bands.

    The exception is roofing costs and this is reflective of the age profile of the stock. Quite

    simply they are only now approaching the stage of requiring renewal. The actual short

    term costs has been mitigated by the Council’s annual roofing programme.

    Whilst heating has its lowest relative spend in the next ten years, it is still the highest cost

    element within the next ten years. Due to the life cycle of boilers at 15 years, there will

    always be a continuous spend in this regard.

    5.1.9 In overall terms the profile compares favourably to many Local Authorities with a relatively level

    spend in each of the next ten years. This should enable the Council to plan and procure works

    over a longer period and develop a proactive approach to elemental renewals

    5.2 Responsive, Void and Cyclical Property Maintenance

    5.2.1 Responsive and Void property maintenance is defined by the CLG as “maintenance arising from

    the landlord’s obligation to carry out repairs to a property, either upon a tenant’s request or

    arising from staff inspection or in connection with the re-letting of a property”.

    5.2.2 The definition of cyclical maintenance and servicing is generally similar to that stated for future

    major repairs. However, it is more specifically identified as the regular servicing and inspection

    of mechanical and electrical equipment and redecorations with associated repairs.

    5.2.3 The Council provided us with information of the levels of expenditure currently being

    experienced by the Council for both responsive and void property maintenance. This currently

    equates to a total of £6.85m per annum.

    37

  • 5.3 Related Assets / Estate Works

    5.3.1 This stock condition survey did not include any related assets or other items of repair that the

    Council may be responsible for outside the curtilage of dwellings. We have not surveyed any

    such assets and these are excluded from this report.

    5.4 Contingent Major Repairs

    5.4.1 Contingent major repairs are defined as repairs of a kind, which cannot be specifically foreseen

    and may arise from latent defects in construction, design, timber infestations and decay,

    uninsured settlement and other uninsured risks. We have worked with the Council to predict

    such items and have included for item such as wall tie failure, passive ventilation and garden

    drainage works.

    5.4.2 We have allowed a standard 3% allowance applied to future major works and exceptional

    extensive works.

    5.5 Exceptional Extensive Works

    5.5.1 Exceptional Extensive Works are major works which are required to remedy particular significant

    defects and fall outside the definition of routine repairs and maintenance. They are usually

    works needed to provide the most effective technical solutions and will reduce future repair and

    maintenance costs. An example would be overcladding of a block to prevent water penetration

    which was causing damp.

    5.5.2 The investment forecast also includes for capital works that the Council has identified that is

    outside of the scope of a stock conditions survey and these are derived from other specialist

    inspections and studies.

    38

    5.6.1 As part of our survey we have made an assessment of the level of non-decency in the housing

    stock. This assessment has been measured in accordance with the guidelines set out by the

    CLG. We have identified that less than 1% of properties fail this assessment, which compares

    against a national average of circa. 14%.

    5.6.2 The works identified in our costs will bring the currently non decent properties up to a decent

    standard and prevent further properties becoming non decent. The works identified across the

    30 years will allow properties to be maintained to the decent homes standard.

    39

  • 5.6.3 A decent home, as described by Central Government, is one that is wind and weather tight,

    warm and has modern facilities. In order for a social landlord to achieve this aim any individual

    dwelling must meet the following criteria:

    a) It meets the current statutory minimum standard for housing

    This is currently defined as a Category 1 failure as defined by version 2 of the Housing

    Health and Safety Rating System 2004.

    b) It is a reasonable state of repair

    Dwellings that fail this criterion are those elements such as roofs, rewires, boilers etc that

    are old (i.e. their age exceeds their life cycle) and in poor condition (i.e. identified by

    the surveyor as needing replacement or a major repair).

    The elements listed within this criteria are sub-divided into two sections, namely key

    components and non-key components. Failure of a single key component will fail the

    dwelling completely, whereby the non-key components require two or more failures to

    make the property non-decent.

    Whenever a key component fails then the property will become non-decent in that year,

    however the concurrent failure of two non-key components may occur over several years

    (e.g. a kitchen in year 1 and bathroom in year 5).

    Within the example listed above there is no fixed guidance as to how it should be reported.

    To avoid confusion and maintain consistency with the general cost reports, we would

    include the cost for the kitchen and bathroom in the years that they fail. We would not

    include any costs for a dwelling that only has one non-key component failure over the

    forecast period.

    40

  • c) It has reasonably modern facilities and services

    The guidance lists six points of failure and any individual dwelling must fail on three or

    more items to be deemed non-decent. As with the methodology employed for non-key

    components, we have included the items within the predicted year of failure in our decent

    homes reports and will only include costs for those dwellings that have three or more

    failures before 2010.

    Both modern facilities and non-key components can fail on kitchen and bathroom

    installations, therefore producing the potential for double counting within our decent

    homes reports. To overcome this our database identifies which criteria the property fails

    first and then prevents the other criteria from becoming populated by the same data.

    An example of the above would be a dwelling that has an old kitchen and bathroom and

    one other modern facilities failure in year 1. The survey also recognizes that the kitchen

    and bathroom are old and in poor condition in later years. In such instances we would

    not include any costs for the non-key component potential failures.

    d) It provides a reasonable degree of thermal comfort

    This criterion requires dwellings to have both effective insulation and efficient heating.

    Again there is a potential for double counting in such situations where a dwelling does

    not have efficient heating and the boiler or heating distribution system is old and in poor

    condition under criterion b. In such circumstances we will include for the requisite

    replacement when it first appears and then exclude it from re-appearing in the other

    criterion.

    5.6.4 The Association has all but achieved Decent Homes compliance. The figure of less than 1%

    represents those dwellings where tenants have refused work and cannot be completed until the

    dwelling becomes void.

    41

  • 6.0 LEVELS OF PRICING

    6.1 The work recorded as part of the Stock Condition Survey has been priced using a Schedule of

    Rates, from the Keystone Asset Management System. The Schedule has been based on the

    Council’s experience of letting contracts locally and our experience with other Local

    Authorities/Housing Associations with similar types and numbers of property.

    6.2 If the work is planned and procured correctly, we believe that the unit rates identified can be

    achieved. However, poor planning/procurement could result in large volumes of work put on the

    market at the same time resulting in “overheating” and cost increases as a consequence.

    42

  • 7.0 COST REPORTS

    7.1 A summary of all costs and an elemental summary for the whole stock is included at Appendix

    1. An elemental breakdown of costs is included at Appendix 2. All costs are exclusive of

    management and administration charges, professional fees, any decanting costs and VAT.

    7.2 The base date for costs is October 2019, we have made no allowance for inflation after this

    date.

    43

  • 8.0 LIMITATIONS OF SURVEY

    8.1 The inspections and report are subject to the limitations set out at Appendix 4.

    44

  • 9.0 DATABASE

    9.1 A requirement of the Brief was to provide the survey data in a user-friendly format for import

    into the Council’s Keystone asset management system. In the first instance, we have loaded

    all survey data into our own specialist software to enable us to validate and benchmark the

    survey data. The completed survey database has been provided to the Council.

    45

  • 10.0 AIDS AND ADAPTATIONS (also known as

    Disabled Adaptations)

    10.1 Housing adaptations play an important role to help disabled people remain in the comfort and

    safety of their own homes, rather than having to go into residential care.

    10.2 We have allowed a provision of £0.54m per annum for the 30 year forecast to cover both major

    and minor adaptation work. These figures are based on existing Council information and were

    agreed by all parties as a reflection of future need.

    46

  • 11.0 HOUSING HEALTH AND SAFETY RATING

    SYSTEM

    11.1 The current minimum standard for housing is the Housing Health and Safety Rating System,

    Version 2 dated 2004 and produced by the ODPM (now CLG).

    11.2 The rating is based upon the assessment of risk of harm to the persons using the dwelling.

    The guidance differs from the original fitness standard, from which it replaces, as the HHSRS

    not only assesses the physical attributes of a dwelling, but the nature of occupancy, (i.e. a

    slightly uneven set of steps to a sheltered complex would represent a greater hazard than to

    a general needs dwelling).

    11.3 If a risk has been identified, it is assessed as either “typical”, “none” or “atypical”. An example

    is stairs at a property which are a trip hazard. In a house, this would be a “typical” risk because

    a house always has stairs. For a bungalow, the assessment would be “none” because a

    bungalow would not be expected to have any stairs. In the case of a house with stairs where

    the handrail has been removed, the risk is “atypical” because you would typically expect a set

    of stairs to have a handrail. Where a risk is assessed as “atypical” this is categorised into

    “slight”, “moderate” or “severe”.

    11.4 All data has been stored on our database and this has been supplied to the Association. The

    statistics below relate to surveyed properties only. A summary of the key findings of this

  • 12.0 LEASEHOLDERS

    12.1 For a number of years tenants have been able to purchase their dwellings from Local Authorities

    and Housing Associations. In the majority of cases the tenant will purchase the ‘freehold’

    interest and the Council will no longer have any further obligations to repair and maintain the

    property. However, there are instances where it becomes impossible for a single tenant to

    purchase the freehold, usually because the construction of the dwelling forms part of a larger

    building (e.g. a single flat in a block).

    12.2 In such circumstances as described above, the tenant will purchase the ‘leasehold’ interest and

    the Council will retain the freehold of the complete block. A contract, or lease, will be signed

    between the Council and leaseholder, part of which will contain covenants as to who is liable

    for repairs and maintenance. It is common practice for the freeholder to be responsible for the

    external/communal areas and the leaseholder to be responsible for the internal works.

    12.3 A leaseholder will benefit from any repairs to the external and communal areas and the lease

    will set out how the freeholder will be reimbursed for the works. This is normally achieved via

    one, or a combination, of the methods listed below:

    Service Charge – the leaseholder will pay a fixed amount on regular dates and the

    freeholder will undertake all repairs as necessary.

    The freeholder will undertake the works and charge the leaseholder a percentage of the

    value of those works proportional to their benefit. An example would be where the

    freeholder to a block of 10 flats spends £50,000 renewing the roof covering and the

    leaseholders would pay a contribution of £5,000 each.

    12.4 Unfortunately it is rarely as simple as stated above and a Council may have entered into a

    number of different leases over the years all with varying obligations. It would take an extremely

    49

  • long time to review each lease individually and accurately work out the leaseholder contributions

    for the whole stock.

    12.5 This survey assumes that the Council is not responsible for the costs associated with the repair

    and maintenance of the external and common parts of the leaseholder dwellings (no internal

    costs are included), on the basis that they are recharged. If this is not the case then an

    allowance should be made in the Council’s business plan for any recharge or under recovery

    for such works.
