I came to the conclusion that the Regulator does not ask difficult questions. They just, ahem, 'seek assurances'.
Did you see the scores for shared owners? I can't imagine what these would be like if they were asking about affordability.

It's... better than nothing, but the sense of complacency around the sector and at the Regulator about these pretty crappy satisfaction measures should be a cause for concern. The whole structure still excludes tenants in many of the places it was supposed to fix.

It's realistically only taken this long to come in because of all the time that has been allowed for 'consultation' with landlords about what is - this will sound familiar - practical rather than meaningful. These laws shouldn't be necessary and won't affect the culture issues you rightly highlight.

Yeah... Disappointing.
I reckon their comms teams are probably desperate at this stage, so we can expect this kind of spin on everything.

I find the optimism about Awaab's Law to be the clearest indicator of the ongoing failure to understand the mechanisms at play in the social housing sector. People just don't understand the toxic culture that underpins that.
Lawyers are probably already advising landlords on workarounds. Sigh.

Buybacks should be a no-brainer.
It blows my mind that SO flats are social housing stock, yet many get sold to cash buyers at auction.
London Councils spend over 4 million a day on temporary accomodation. SO Flats should be bought back & converted to affordable or social rent.
