Strategy
Strategic advisory services
If you are a housing association, local authority landlord, for-profit Registered Provider of Social Housing or other organisation who wants to work with some or all of them then Place Base is here to help with strategic advisory services.
With access to, probably, the only person in the sector who has gone through two inspections under the Regulator of Social Housing’s new consumer regime, Place Base are ideally positioned to help you with regulatory readiness. This could be inspection preparation or just a fresh pair of eyes to help drive further improvement in achieving the outcomes of regulatory standards.
We can help you embed a full assurance process of regulatory compliance into the day-to-day work of all appropriate teams.
At a time of great change in the social housing sector many organisations are reflecting, renewing and refreshing their corporate strategies. Whilst the final output should be fully-owned by the board or governing body we can help to facilitate the production of a new strategy and wide-ranging stakeholder engagement to leverage value from a wide-range of perspectives.
Clear, honest and accurate performance reporting is key to driving continued improvements in the operations of an organisation, landlord services and delivering new homes. Place Base can provide experience from social landlords of a range of sizes from 2,000 to 84,000 homes and multi-billion pound public sector programmes.
We have explored hundreds of innovative funding models and deployed grant funding, loan, recoverable investments and quasi-equity into the successful delivery of thousands of homes. This insight and experience could help to deliver flagship projects which are currently mired in negative viability.
If Place Base’s founders had a €500 note for each solution they had been pitched promising to unlock a wall of money to solve the housing crisis then we would be able to go a long way ourselves to doing so. Engage us to learn from these experiences, prepare your funding pitches in a way which is most likely to deliver success and unlock stalled projects.
By our estimates there are more merger discussions ongoing in the housing sector than there ever have been. With recent experience of mergers and integration at a non-executive and executive level Place Base can work with you to add considerable value to early and late stage merger discussions – all the way through to supporting detailed integration activity.
