Sutton Housing Partnership (SHP)
Sutton Housing Partnership is currently discussing a £2.6 million budget increase to meet Building Safety Act requirements and improve services.
Sutton Housing Partnership (SHP) faced scrutiny in September 2026 over a £2.6 million budget increase, with £2.4 million allocated to prepare its repair service for phase two of the Building Safety Act and address disrepair claims, as outlined in its 2026-2027 Delivery Plan. The Housing, Economy and Business Committee heard that the replacement of temporary boilers at the Collingwood estate is delayed until the new year, pending Building Safety Regulator approval.
In September 2026, SHP reported exceeding its anti-social behaviour reduction targets, with cases opened decreasing from 42 to 19 per 1,000 homes. Efforts are also underway to increase resident engagement, though the residents' voice panel received an amber rating due to a shortfall in representation. SHP aims to reduce standard void times from 28 to 27 days.
In October 2025, the Housing, Economy & Business Committee approved a £20 million annual budget increase for SHP to tackle damp and mould issues, shifting focus towards preventative measures. An internal audit in July 2025 highlighted concerns regarding SHP's procurement processes and business continuity for Aids and Adaptation.
