Estate inspections

Our neighbourhood housing officers carry out regular estate inspections to make sure that our estates and the shared areas of our buildings are well maintained.

How often they visit varies from estate to estate and depends on their needs. Find out more about our Neighbourhood housing officers.

What you can expect from us

We are committed to maintaining high standards at our properties and developments.

As part of the inspection, we’ll be checking the condition of your estate, buildings and communal areas, and reporting any maintenance repairs required.

We aim to:

  • Remove offensive graffiti and fly tipping containing dangerous items within 24 hours of it being reported to us, and other fly tipping and graffiti within 5 working days
  • Keep roads, paths and other hard areas clean and clear of dumped items
  • Keep our play areas clean and safe
  • Keep garden areas free of litter
  • Make sure lighting in shared areas is in good working order
  • Start the process to remove any abandoned vehicles within five working days of it being reported.

Some estate issues raised may not be our responsibility to fix, such as broken street lighting or business noise. In these incidences, we will make a note of the issue and help you to report it directly to the relevant organisation such the relevant highways authority, police or environmental health. If the issues continues and it’s detrimentally impacting our customers, we will strive to work with the partner agencies concerned to resolve the problem (e.g. to improve the safety, security or appearance of a wider area).

For more information read our: Estates management policy

Attending an estate inspection and giving us your feedback

You can advise on issues such as:

  • Rubbish and fly-tipping
  • Reporting any repairs on your estate
  • Estate improvements
