Housing stock condition and void refurbishment surveys
Bring consistent building information into your housing maintenance decisions, with surveys and work schedules shaped around your property records.
Discuss your housing survey programmeUse the inspection to inform the next decision
A housing condition survey can help establish what is present and what needs attention across an agreed group of properties. WHBC can work to a defined survey brief so the findings provide a useful basis for maintenance planning and future component replacement.
For an empty property, a focused inspection can identify repairs required before refurbishment is priced. Existing asset records can also be checked against the available evidence, with gaps or inconsistencies brought to your attention before they influence a wider works programme.
Information suited to your housing programme
- Stock condition inspections: record the agreed building elements and their observed condition using a consistent format.
- Void refurbishment schedules: describe repairs and proposed replacement work so contractors can price a defined package.
- Asset data quality reviews: compare selected records with survey evidence and identify missing entries or inconsistent information.
- Programme inputs: provide repair priorities and observations to support your maintenance planning, with budget allowances where included in the appointment.
What you receive
A property record or survey schedule presents the agreed information with supporting photographs. Void inspections can produce an itemised refurbishment schedule. Where asset data is reviewed, a separate record identifies discrepancies and the evidence needed to resolve them. The format and extent of data entry are agreed before the work begins.
Example scenario: planning a void refurbishment
Suppose a landlord has an empty house with worn kitchen fittings and repeated staining below a roof junction. WHBC could record the repair needs and prepare a refurbishment schedule, identifying any further investigation required before the contractor prices the roof work.
Questions about this service
Yes, subject to reviewing the required fields and survey method. We agree what each entry means and how uncertain information should be recorded, so the completed records can be used consistently.
We can review an agreed sample against supporting reports or inspection findings. The proposal will define the sample and the checks being made. A sample review does not verify every property in the wider portfolio.
The survey records the building condition within the agreed scope. The landlord remains responsible for its letting decision and for obtaining the required specialist inspections or certificates. Any separate readiness review would need a clearly defined appointment.
No. A stock condition or void survey is not automatically a formal Housing Health and Safety Rating System assessment. If that is what you require, tell us when enquiring so the specialist scope and availability can be considered separately.
