Housing Stock Condition Surveys

As a social landlord, we have a legal and regulatory duty to assess the condition and energy efficiency of our homes. To help meet these obligations and ensure compliance with the Welsh Housing Quality Standard (WHQS) 2023, we'll be carrying out a Stock Condition Survey across all our properties from April 2025.

A Stock Condition Survey is a detailed assessment of the condition of your home, including key elements such as the bathroom, kitchen, heating system, windows, and doors.

The information we gather will help us plan future improvements to ensure homes are safe, warm, and meet modern standards. Your involvement helps us keep your home in good condition for years to come.

    "The survey marks the first time the Council will have surveyed every home as part of a single project provided for the people of Powys. This will allow us not only to visit and meet every tenant—helping us get to know each other better—but also to understand what needs to be done to ensure our properties are well maintained and improved where necessary, so they continue to provide quality homes for residents. The survey will also ensure that the information in our new Housing Services ICT system is completely up to date and remains accurate as we carry out repairs and invest in our homes. Having this detailed knowledge will help us prioritise where investments are most needed—not only in our existing homes but also in identifying where new Council-built and managed homes should be developed. The survey will take three years to complete. We have more than 5,550 homes which alone accounts for 25% of Wales." Andy Thompson, Head of Housing, Powys County Council

Every effort has been made to keep the process smooth and efficient—minimising disruption while gathering the critical information needed to make informed decisions about future investment. We kindly ask that you allow access when an appointment is arranged, as this helps us complete the survey on time and avoid delays for you and your neighbours. We understand it's not always easy to fit appointments around other commitments, so we'd like to thank you in advance for your flexibility and cooperation. If you have any questions about the survey, please don't hesitate to get in touch—we'll be only too happy to help." Liam Thomas, Stock Condition Survey Project Officer, Powys County Council

    "We have purchased a brand-new Housing IT System, which is currently in development and undergoing testing. To make full use of its capabilities, we need to verify the existing stock condition data and collect more detailed information. This will allow us to plan future maintenance more efficiently and effectively, while also helping us provide a better service to our tenants" Geraint Lloyd, Housing Information Systems Manager, Powys County Council
