We'll shortly begin a large Stock Condition Surveying (SCS) programme.
We'll be collecting data on:
- conditions of the housing
- when replacement works such a kitchens, bathrooms, windows and roofs are due.
HRA Property Services Technical Officers and external consultants will take part in surveying more than 1,000 properties between now and April 2025. Surveyors will also be completing a Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) assessment at the same time of the stock condition survey. When needed, surveyors will take pictures and measurements.
Why the survey is being done
We need to ensure the home you live in is:
- safe
- decent
- well maintained.
It's important you allow access when your home survey is due. We aim to make an appointment prior to the surveyor arriving, however there may be occassions where a surveyor may cold call you. If you're not available at the time they cold call you, the survey will arrange a more suitable time to complete the survey.
About the survey of your home
The SCS will take approximately 90 minutes to complete, and your home will receive a stock condition survey at least once every 5 years.
Surveyors will be carrying ID badges, so you should ask to see this before letting anyone into your home.
