The Vanguard Scotland Housing Reports
Following a report from the Scottish Housing Regulator highlighting the breadth of failures in the housing system we have decided to intervene and offer our expertise gained through years of housing sector consulting.
In a short series of 3 free reports we challenge the assumptions around how to design and run social housing systems and offer answers on how to run them better and cheaper.
The reports cover:
- Why more information technology is not the answer
- Why outsourcing will increase costs not save money
- Why setting targets for doing a repair (regulator recommendation) will increase the time to complete
- Why using schedule of rates codes increases costs and decreases service
- Why housing voids don’t work and what to do about it
- Why taking people to court costs more money for less rent
- How most authorities and RSLs have failed by putting the wrong staff at front of house
The first PDF report is available here.
