Topic: The State of Repairs in Social Housing - Navigating Rising Costs and Compliance in 2025

Where? Teams

Join us for our next Housing Hive webinar, where we’ll explore the state of housing repairs in 2025 and what it means for the future of the sector.

The latest Inside Housing Repairs Tracker 2025 reveals that housing providers in England spent a record £8.8 billion on repairs and maintenance in the 2023-24 financial year - an increase of £1 billion on the previous year and a 63% rise since 2020-21. This surge is largely due to heightened scrutiny on damp and mould, fire safety works, and compliance-driven repairs, with new regulatory pressures like Awaab’s Law (coming into effect in October 2025) set to introduce legally binding timeframes for fixing housing hazards.

At the same time, the Regulator has introduced TSMs, requiring providers to demonstrate how they are improving the resident experience, particularly around repair response times and communication. But with repair costs rising and operational resources stretched, how can housing providers balance compliance, tenant expectations, and financial sustainability?

In this session, we’ll examine the latest trends in repairs and maintenance, discuss how housing associations and local authorities are responding to new requirements, and explore what strategies may help the sector adapt to these ongoing challenges.

What to Expect:

Key insights – A deeper understanding of the financial and regulatory landscape driving change in housing repairs and maintenance.
Sector perspectives – Hear from industry experts and housing professionals on how they are adapting to compliance changes, cost pressures, and shifting tenant expectations.
Practical approaches – Explore ways housing providers are improving repairs management, strengthening accountability, and ensuring a tenant-first experience while maintaining operational efficiency.

Don’t miss this essential discussion on the future of housing repairs and compliance. Register today to stay informed and take part in the conversation.

What is The Housing Hive?

Prodo has been working in the housing sector as a leading digital partner for over 16 of our 21 years and one of the main reasons we love the sector, is different association’s capacity to share best practice with each other.

Now more than ever, we’re seeing the community collaborate and rapidly evolve its response to the COVID-19 outbreak, breaking new boundaries across digital transformation and communication.

We wanted to play our part in this collaboration, so decided to bring together as many social housing professionals from across the country together in this very unusual time of change to support each other, share ideas of what’s worked and discuss what the new future may look like. And from that, The Housing Hive was born!
