Wandsworth Council is addressing housing stock condition concerns with a £663 million investment plan, discussed in September 2026.

Wandsworth Council is investing £662.980 million over four years into its housing stock, partly to address "serious failings" in stock management, as highlighted by a C3 grading from the Regulator of Social Housing. This investment aims to improve stock condition, which includes addressing issues related to damp and mould obligations.

This revised capital programme is outlined in the council's Housing Revenue Account business plan, which was discussed by Wandsworth's Borough Residents' Forum in September 2026. The plan projects borrowing to reach £848 million over 10 years to fund the investment in the aging housing stock.
