Times are very challenging in the council housing finance world. Whether it’s financial pressures on the HRA, rising demands for repairs, or whether it’s the progress of consumer standards inspections one year on from their introduction, our Housing Finance Symposium is a timely opportunity to reflect on the agenda for the HRA in the run up to the Spending Review in the spring.

About this event
We’ll hear from MHCLG, the Regulator and CPIFA’s HAN adviser on the very latest around the factors influencing how housing and finance professionals can prepare effectively for the new settlement, whether it’s future rent policy, the future approach to AHP grant, or the long-awaited update to the Decent Homes Standard.
There’s plenty to talk about as you begin to think about the next budget and business planning round, which is likely to be just as challenging, if not more, than the last one.
