Planned Maintenance

In order to protect the common parts of your property, there is a planned maintenance programme that includes work at pre-determined intervals e.g. gutter cleaning and external paintwork to ensure that properties are maintained in good condition.

Scottish Housing Quality Standard

In February 2004, Scottish Ministers announced that, following the recommendations of the Housing Improvement Task Force and subsequent consultation, they were introducing a national standard to establish a minimum set of quality measures (known as the Scottish Housing Quality Standard) for all houses in the social rented sector.

Each housing association and local authority had to prepare a Standard Delivery Plan outlining how they proposed to reach the SHQS within their stock by 2015. 

Ore Valley Housing Association submitted a Delivery Plan in line with the requirements and the plan was accepted as a realistic and achievable plan to ensure that all our properties achieve the SHQS by 2015 and we are currently implementing this Plan through our annual maintenance programmes.
