How to check Southern Home Ownership's reputation
There are no published tenant satisfaction scores for Southern Home Ownership. Landlords with fewer than 1,000 homes must still measure tenant satisfaction and share the results with their own tenants, but they don't have to send them to the regulator, so no national figures exist. With about 85 homes, Southern Home Ownership is in that group.
You can still get a good picture before you swap into one of their homes:
- Ask for their tenant satisfaction results and complaints report. Every social landlord must publish its complaints policy and a yearly report on the complaints it has handled, usually on its website or on request.
- Search the Housing Ombudsman's decisions for "Southern Home Ownership Limited" in the decisions archive. No results is common for small landlords and usually a good sign.
- Check the regulator's judgements. The Regulator of Social Housing lists any regulatory judgements and notices it has published about a landlord.
- Ask the tenant you're swapping with. How quickly are repairs done? How easy is it to get hold of someone? Is there a tenants' group? A current tenant's answer is often the best guide.
- Look at the area too. Most of their homes are in Arun: see our Arundel guide for what it's like to live there.
Swapping with a tenant of Southern Home Ownership?
Both landlords have to approve a mutual exchange, and both have 42 days to decide. They can only refuse on the grounds set out in the Housing Act 1985. Get the application in early, keep your rent account clear, and ask for the decision in writing.
