Three quarters of landlords are planning changes to their
maintenance services, with half of these planning to cut planned repairs in the
face of government cuts, a survey has found. More than 40 landlords owning a
total of 400,000 homes answered a survey by Build Recruitment and Housingnet,
revealing they are considering a significant shake-up of repairs in light of
changes such as the 1% rent cut. A fifth said they are planning redundancies in
their repairs section, while a fifth were also planning to bring repairs
in-house. Two-thirds of the respondents to the survey were housing
associations, almost a fifth were local authorities and the rest include ALMOs
and a housing co-op. Read more on the Build website.
