Quarterly survey for Q3 2023-24

Summary

Social housing providers in the UK are facing significant financial challenges due to inflationary cost pressures and the increasing demand to improve existing housing stock quality. The regulator is actively monitoring the financial health of these providers through quarterly surveys, identifying risks to liquidity and engaging with them to manage their positions, which sometimes includes deferring uncommitted development or arranging loan covenant waivers. Currently, cash balances are at a ten-year low, and cash interest cover has reached its lowest recorded level, indicating ongoing financial strain despite record investment in repairs and new housing.
