The regulator of social housing will delay the
introduction of fees for regulation to October 2017. Providers will pay 50% of
the annual fee for 2017 to 2018. The regulator was granted powers to charge
fees under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. It set out initial proposals
in a discussion paper in 2014 and held a further statutory consultation at the
end of 2016. Following the outcome of the consultation, the regulator will
introduce:
·
a one-off flat-rate registration fee of £2,500
for successful registration with the regulator
·
a fixed annual fee of £300 for providers with
fewer than 1,000 social housing units
·
an annual per unit fee of £4.72 for large
providers with 1,000 or more social housing units – with the fee charged at
group level rather than for each individual entity on the register.
