Housing Asset Management Strategy (2023–2028)
Haringey Council is investing in housing stock improvements and reviewing its landlord licensing scheme.
Haringey Council has recently approved significant investments to improve its housing stock. Councillor Sarah Williams, Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning (Deputy Leader), approved £3.6 million for the refurbishment of four hostels in Muswell Hill in March 2026, focusing on safety, energy efficiency, and decarbonisation. In October 2025, the council also approved £1.7 million to refurbish empty homes, aiming to address structural issues and increase social housing availability.
The council is also reviewing its landlord licensing scheme to assess its effectiveness, particularly in light of the upcoming Renters Reform Bill. The Housing, Planning and Development Scrutiny Panel discussed recommendations from a previous review on private sector housing and landlord licensing in November 2025. This review will help determine the need for renewing selective property licensing and define criteria for any potential new scheme.
The Housing Asset Management Strategy (2023–2028) outlines Haringey Council's approach to managing its housing assets, ensuring they are safe and compliant.
