Good Landlord Plan
Southwark Council's Good Landlord Plan is currently under review for progress on housing improvements, repairs, and customer service.
The Housing Scrutiny Commission most recently reviewed the Good Landlord Plan's progress in July 2026, discussing updates on repairs, estate improvements, customer service, and new home developments. In December 2025, the Housing Scrutiny Commission also received an update on the plan's progress across its six core themes, which include better homes, estates, and customer service.
This plan, initiated by Southwark Council, aims to improve housing services and ensure compliance with housing consumer standards. As part of the plan, Southwark Council announced in October 2025 an investment of £250 million over three years for fire safety and housing improvements to bring council homes up to modern standards.
The Good Landlord Plan was approved by the council's Cabinet in July 2025 to address shortcomings identified by the Regulator of Social Housing, which issued a C3 grading in November 2024. These shortcomings included issues with electrical testing, smoke alarm installation, and inconsistencies in repairs and complaints handling services.
