Delivery Plan 2026-2027
Sutton Housing Partnership is currently focusing on reducing empty property times as part of its 2026-2027 Delivery Plan.
Sutton Housing Partnership (SHP) is currently implementing measures to reduce the time properties remain empty, a key focus of its Delivery Plan 2026-2027. The organisation aims to reduce the target time for standard voids from 28 days to 27 days. Steve Tucker from SHP reported this to a Housing, Economy and Business Committee meeting in September 2026.
A report to the committee in September 2026 indicated that current turnaround times for standard voids are 23.6 days and for major works voids are 56.9 days. Both figures outperform London's top quartile. The longer duration for major works voids reflects the volume of work required in these properties, according to SHP.
The Delivery Plan 2026-2027 is a policy outlining actions for the upcoming year, supporting the Safer City Community Engagement Strategy 2026-2029. For Sutton Housing Partnership, it specifically includes a focus on reducing empty properties.
