Delivering Better Value for Money Summary regression report

Summary

The UK's social housing sector faced a challenge in understanding the wide variation in Value for Money (VFM) performance among providers, with prior analysis explaining only about half of the differences in headline costs. To address this, the regulator conducted updated regression analysis incorporating new data on stock characteristics such as building age and height. This effort successfully increased the explanatory power of the model, accounting for around 70% of cost variation, but highlights that significant unexplained differences persist, requiring boards to look beyond costs to tenant outcomes.
