The regulator's verdict

The Regulator of Social Housing grades landlords on how well they look after tenants (consumer standards, C1 best to C4 worst) and, for housing associations, on governance (G) and financial viability (V).

G1 Governance well governed · Dec 2025
V2 Financial viability financially viable but with risks to manage · Dec 2025

Councils are graded on consumer standards only. A grade is a snapshot at the date shown; the regulator publishes updates as it inspects.
