Is Britain Actually Broke?Background
The Regulator of Social Housing oversees registered social landlords in England, including consumer standards inspections introduced from April 2024. It said it would not publish a sector-wide V1-V4 viability distribution, judging its first year of programmed inspections too early to draw trends from. In its first published gradings, Sanctuary Housing Association and Railway Housing Association and Benefit Fund were upgraded to consumer grade C1 on 27 May 2026, while London Borough of Islington was graded C3.
