Asset Management Strategy
Councils are progressing asset management strategies to improve housing services and optimise property assets.
Ealing Council is working to improve its housing services, including asset management, to achieve a C1 rating from the Regulator of Social Housing, with progress reported in October 2026. In September 2026, Redbridge Council adopted an Asset Management Strategy as one of four new landlord policies, aiming to strengthen housing management and comply with regulator standards. Newham Council invested £950,000 in August 2025 for stock condition surveys to inform its Asset Management Strategy and meet Social Housing Regulator commitments.
Harrow Council's Cabinet approved the sale of an office building in February 2026 as part of its ongoing asset management strategy to manage commercial property assets effectively. Bexley Council approved a new Asset Management Strategy for 2025-2029 in October 2025, aiming to balance maximising income with ensuring social value and sustainable use of its property assets.
No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss the Asset Management Strategy, which outlines how councils manage their property assets, often housing stock, to achieve objectives such as regulatory compliance, financial sustainability, and community benefit.
