Social housing

Social housing providers are facing uncertain economic times, with both financial and regulatory pressures. Ensuring operational excellence and protecting assets is of critical importance. We offer a range of audit, advisory and tax services to help social landlords overcome their biggest challenges.

Our approach 

Social housing plays an essential role in our society, but the world in which housing associations and public entities operate is facing major challenges. A changing policy framework, economic constraints, tighter regulations and high demand for services are all factors that are putting the sector under increased pressure. 

At Forvis Mazars, we understand the different challenges that social landlords face, such as the need to build new homes, renovate existing assets, and comply with rent and territorial development policies. We appreciate the attention to detail that is necessary for actors to provide high-quality services and guarantee the safety of residents.  

We work with a broad and diverse portfolio of sector providers, including traditional housing associations, large-scale voluntary transfers, for-profit providers, local authorities and organisations with complex group structures. 

As an organisation, you may be seeking to overcome multiple obstacles, such as: 

• An uncertain economic environment 
• Funding shortfalls and future financial viability 
• Regulatory scrutiny and evolving government policy 
• Quality assurance and exceeding safety requirements 

Our team recognises the fundamental role of social housing in society. This is why we are able to support you with audit, risk advisory, insurance and consultancy services, tailored to your needs.
