Managing tenancy changes
% of the rent due in the year that was lost due to voids
| This is due to a higher turnover of properties as a result of our transfer led policy for new build council houses. |
Average time to re-let houses which are not low demand
| This SPI has increased over the past 4 years due to increased turnove contributing to increased void repairs and our policy to bring forward improvements such as replacement when the tenancy changes hands. |
Average time to re-let houses which are low demand
| This SPI has increased over the past 4 years due to increased turnover, contributing to increased workload and void repairs |
Low demand houses remaining un-let at year end - average time houses had been un-let at year end
| This SPI has not followed a specific pattern over the past 4 years and the trend does not appear to be linked with general re-let times. The recent increase may be attributed to the increase in properties classed as low demand. |
Rent management
Current tenants arrears as a % of net rent due
| This measure has improved as a result of additional resource targeting early intervention and robust enforcement of recovery procedures. |
% of tenants owing more than 13 weeks rent excluding those owing less than £250
| This measure has improved as a result of additional resource targeting early intervention, high value debts and robust enforcement of recovery procedures. |
% of tenants in rent arrears
| This SPI has been maintained at a steady rate for the past 3 years. Higher turnover and more robust arrears handling has contributed to a comparably good rate in the Audit Scotland comparison with other local authorities (0708 rank was 9th in Scotland). |
% of former tenant arrears written off or collected during the year
| This reduction may be as a result of higher focus on current tenants, as well as the higher turnover of council stock. |
Council house sales
% of house sales completed within 26 weeks
| This SPI has improved steadily since 2005/06 due to better processes and a volume reduction |
Average time to sell houses
| This SPI has improved due to better processes and a volume reduction |
