Strategic Advisory Services

---

If you are a housing association, local authority landlord, for-profit Registered Provider of Social Housing, or another organization seeking to collaborate with these entities, Place Base is here to assist with strategic advisory services tailored to the social housing sector.  

With access to possibly the only expert in the field who has experienced two inspections under the Regulator of Social Housing’s new consumer regime, Place Base is ideally positioned to help you with regulatory compliance and readiness. This includes inspection preparation or providing a fresh perspective to enhance compliance with regulatory standards.  

We can assist you in embedding a comprehensive assurance process for regulatory compliance into the daily operations of all relevant teams.  

In a time of significant transformation within the social housing sector, many organizations are reflecting on, renewing, and refreshing their corporate strategies. While the ultimate outcome should be fully embraced by the board or governing body, we can facilitate the creation of a new strategy and engage a wide range of stakeholders to harness value from diverse perspectives.  

Clear, honest, and accurate performance reporting is essential for driving continuous improvements in organizational operations, landlord services, and the delivery of new homes. Place Base brings experience from social landlords of varying sizes, from 2,000 to 84,000 homes, and multi-billion-pound public sector programs.  

We have explored hundreds of innovative funding models and successfully deployed grant funding, loans, recoverable investments, and quasi-equity to deliver thousands of homes. This insight and experience could help you advance flagship projects that are currently facing challenges related to viability.  

If Place Base’s founders had a €500 note for each proposed solution that promised to unlock funding for the housing crisis, we would be well on our way to achieving that goal. Engage us to learn from these experiences, prepare your funding pitches effectively, and unlock stalled projects.  

According to our estimates, there are currently more merger discussions happening in the housing sector than ever before. With recent experience in mergers and integration at both non-executive and executive levels, Place Base can work with you to add substantial value to both early and late-stage merger discussions, all the way through to supporting detailed integration activities.
