Social Housing FAQs

What property maintenance services does CLC offer to the Housing Sector?

CLC offers a comprehensive range of property maintenance services including:

Does CLC work in both private and social housing sectors?

Yes. CLC provides many services in the social housing sector including full asset management, planned maintenance and responsive repairs for housing associations and local councils; and we also work in the private sector too for private landlords.

What is the difference between private and social housing in the UK?

Private housing is owned by individuals or companies and rented at market rates.

Social housing, managed by councils or housing associations, offers affordable rents and prioritises vulnerable groups.

How important is it to the landlord or owner of a building to have repairs and maintenance works conducted?

Planned maintenance programmes are vital for ensuring property safety, efficiency, and legal compliance.

They enhance property value, prevent costly repairs, and ensure tenant satisfaction.

How important is it to the resident or tenant that their landlord is conducting repairs and maintenance works?

The answer is ‘very important’! Planned maintenance programmes ensure tenant safety, comfort, and well-being.

Energy-efficient upgrades like insulation and decarbonisation lower utility bills, while accessibility adaptations enable tenants with disabilities to live independently.

What are landlords’ obligations to repair their properties?

Landlords must maintain properties to a safe, habitable standard. Legal responsibilities include repairing structure, heating, hot water, electrical systems, and fire safety measures.

They must address urgent repairs promptly to comply with housing laws.

What is the Right to Repair?

Under the Right to Repair scheme, social housing tenants can request essential repairs, such as plumbing, heating, or security issues.

If landlords fail to act within specific timeframes, tenants can escalate the issue or claim compensation.

As a tenant in a social housing property, am I responsible for repairs in my home?

Tenants are typically responsible for minor repairs like changing light bulbs or replacing fuses.

Structural repairs and major works, such as plumbing or electrical faults, are the landlord’s responsibility under UK housing laws.
