The social housing sector in the UK plays a crucial role in providing affordable and secure homes for individuals and families who are unable to afford market rents. To ensure the quality and safety of social housing, a number of regulated businesses operate in this sector.
Some of the regulated businesses in the social housing sector include:
- Registered Providers of Social Housing: Registered Providers of Social Housing (RPSHs) are non-profit organisations that own and manage social housing properties in the UK. They are responsible for providing high-quality housing to those who need it most.
- Housing Associations: Housing associations are registered providers of social housing that are also charities. They are committed to providing affordable and sustainable housing for their tenants.
- Local Authorities: Local authorities own and manage some social housing properties, particularly in inner cities and areas with high levels of deprivation.
- Private Sector Landlords: Private sector landlords are also involved in the provision of social housing, through the Affordable Rent scheme. These landlords sign agreements with local authorities to provide affordable housing at below-market rents.

Regulating businesses in the social housing sector is essential for a number of reasons:
- To protect tenants: Regulation ensures that businesses in this sector meet high standards of housing and that tenants are safe from harm.
- To promote quality of housing: Regulation helps to raise standards of housing by requiring businesses to follow best practices and provide training for their staff.
- To ensure tenant choice: Regulation helps to ensure that tenants have a wide range of social housing providers to choose from and that they are informed about the properties available to them.
We work with Social Housing businesses of all sizes to help them navigate the complex regulatory environment and ensure their compliance.
