Service standards


We strive to deliver a high-quality service and have set ourselves a list of service standards. The service standards, which have been developed in partnership with tenants, show you what you can expect from us.

 Repairs:

  • We will honour our appointments;
  • We will offer 2 set appointment times per day (morning or afternoon);
  • We will let you know if we are going to be late;
  • We strive to meet the target times for carrying out emergency, urgent and normal repairs, and also the speed we turnaround empty (void) properties;
  • We will do our best to let you know how long the repair is expected to take;
  • We exceeded the target for repairs completed on time, which was 99.1% for quarter 4, 2019.

 Rent:

  • We make sure you are aware of the many different options to pay your rent (need to link to pay your rent page);
  • We will take prompt action on rent arrears by sending warning letters, conducting interviews and home visits, and monitoring agreements to repay arrears;
