Estate Services Mini Review: For Smaller Housing Associations

We fully understand the challenges faced by smaller housing associations when it comes to managing their estate services. From rising maintenance costs to increased scrutiny, it can often be a struggle to balance quality and efficiency without the support of dedicated procurement teams or costly consultancy services.

Common Challenges for Smaller Housing Associations

1. Lack of Dedicated Procurement Teams: Smaller housing associations often lack the resources to maintain an in-house procurement team, making it difficult to navigate the complexities of estate services management and achieve more with less.
2. Reliance on Costly Consultancy Services: Without the expertise of a procurement team, smaller housing associations may turn to expensive consultancy services, which can strain already tight budgets and limit their ability to invest in essential improvements.
3. Rising Maintenance Costs: As the cost of materials and labour continues to rise, they then face the challenge of maintaining their estates whilst staying within budget. This can lead to deferred maintenance and a decline in the quality of their estate services.
4. Increased Scrutiny: Smaller housing associations are subject to the same level of scrutiny and compliance requirements as larger organisations, but often without the same level of resources to ensure compliance and meet regulatory requirements. This can result in additional pressure on already stretched teams.
