Rent Review 2025
The Trustees reviewed the rent for 2025/26 at their meeting in April. From 1 July 2024 the standard rent will increase from £224.50pcm to £223.00pcm for properties in England and Wales. This is an increase of 4.1% in line with the rise in state pension. We will be raising the rents of properties in Scotland in October to bring them in line with England and Wales.
Rent Policy
The Trustees agreed a Rent Policy (March 2023) regarding the rent paid by tenants who have made Interest Free Loans or have Equity Shares. The new policy will initially effect new tenants but changes are being phased in over 2 years for current tenants with equity shares. The changes will mean that some tenants will pay more rent than previously, while others will see a reduction. The intention is to be as fair and equitable as possible in the rent charged. If having read the policy you have any questions please feel free to contact Andy Hughes.
