Strategic Asset ManagementInvesting, Managing or Administering your Assets?
• Approaches to asset management have evolved considerably over the last 10 years with leading landlords reaping significant benefits (financial and otherwise) as they embrace and embed strategic analysis in the planning, management and maintenance of their housing assets and services.
• In this session we examine the journey experienced by Dudley MBC as they applied advanced strategic planning and analysis techniques to their housing assets to address specific short, medium and long term pressures in their business plan and how the benefits achieved are helping Dudley maximise the impact of their investment strategy in the communities they serve.
• In a world of increasing self-assessment, continued constraint in public spending and expectations to do more with less we expect the Dudley experience will be of interest to many landlords, regardless of size, location or purpose.
Strategic Asset Management Overview• Strategic management of housing is not just about “assets”. Property information, including SCS, is
important but it is just one of a number of key considerations. In some cases, a stock condition led approach can lead to suboptimal investment decision making.
• It is as much about the management and performance of the range of associated services delivered by a landlord informed by a meaningful understanding of the tenants and communities they serve and the markets in which they operate (supply and demand).
• Has expert strategic planning and analysis techniques supporting the strategic management of value to ensure no detriment to tenants and to protect the landlord business plan.
• Our SAM approach is both tried and tested and has been in use since 2009. It underpins the SHR guidance http://www.scottishhousingregulator.gov.uk/publications and has been used to analyse substantial housing portfolios in the UK including every social housing provider in Scotland on behalf of Audit Scotland in 2012. Their review of social housing in Scotland, published in July 2013 can be found at http://www.audit-scotland.gov.uk/utilities..
Strategic Asset Management Asset Performance is understood from bottom up, inside and out and across the organisation
Strategic Asset Management Asset Performance is understood from bottom up, inside and out and across the organisation
A comprehensive range of financial and non financial KPIs and data sets provide the evidence base informing the landlords assessment of its stock.
The evidence base is systematically used to support decision making.
Strategic Asset Management Asset Performance is understood from bottom up, inside and out and across the organisation
NPV illustrates the net financial contribution made by every housing asset to the business plan. NPV is the primary VFM indicator. The
stronger the NPV performance, the stronger and more sustainable the investment decision and business plan.
Strategic Asset ManagementSuccessful common attributes
There is an understanding
of ‘value’ beyond just
cost
The governing body are effectively
engaged and strategic aims & priorities are
clear
It is an organisation wide team
effort and is not just left to the
‘property people’
Short and medium term
decisions sit in the context of a long term view
It is about community and neighbourhood
s/quality of life/places
where people want to live and more It is on the
‘corporate’ agenda and key
connections across the
organisation and with others
external to the organisation are
being made
There is a reliable evidence base
drawing together qualitative as well
as quantitative data.
And……
Investment planning is undertaken and sits in
context alongside service and financial planning
Options appraisal or similar is used to test
alternatives. Component replacement is used, but
this is just one of a number of approaches and the organisation is able to identify where broader intervention is
required eg regeneration.
The organisation understands its
customers/(housing needs and demands) and
is clear on the relative performance; what is ‘core’ stock and has a long term future, stock which is obsolete and
stock which has a doubtful future.
There are fully resourced action and delivery plans to support key strategies
and there is an understanding that asset
management is about balance, focus,
prioritisation and alignment of resources
and interests.
Dudley Context1. Decision in 2015 to undertake a fundamental review of the approach. Recognition that
the scale of the investment required exceeded available resources.2. At that point Dudley MBC was under considerable pressure:
– Circa 22,500 council houses owned in the West Midlands (neighbouring authority to Birmingham)
– Government imposed rent reduction of -1% year on year
– Debt in excess of £450M being serviced on an interest only basis and limited to nil new borrowing capacity
– Significant back log of investment to address, failed stock transfer
– Welfare reform and General Fund under considerable pressure also
Dudley Context1. Increasing challenges facing the housing services including:
– Aged and ageing stock profile requiring higher than average investment– Low demand properties & challenging void property issues– Long term back log of investment exacerbating quality of stock issues– Service & contractor performance issues (and in house DLO to keep busy)– Housing Market Imbalance & stifled aspiration
• Over provision of social housing in some areas • Under provision of the right type & quality in others• Competition with other landlords
2. Council wanted to enhance and modernise their traditional SCS led approach with a wider evidence-based approach connecting the property and technical considerations with broader place and peopleconsiderations to better meet (match) the specific housing needs of Dudley’s different communities.
3. The resource allocation challenge – where do we start?
Dudley Context• Agreed a strategic approach was required:
– As investment on a component replacement basis was no longer sufficient or appropriate for all of the stock;
– The scale of investment - £1.5BN (30 years) - required evidence to support decision making;
– The nature and timing of the investment required varied considerably locally;
– To keep rents as affordable as possible over the longer term;
– To ensure maximum impact from each HRA £ invested (tenants rents, public grant +any permissible borrowing) in balancing housing supply and demand;
– To demonstrate VFM and good practice (including in options appraisal) and engagement and consultation with key stakeholders; and,
• Dudley MBC is a major housing provider and investor in housing in the area and how the Council chooses to invest has significant impact on the local housing markets and wider communities acoss the borough (beyond its own housing stock).
The Dudley JourneyIn 2015 we embarked on a comprehensive asset strategy development process recognizing that in addition to the traditional bricks and mortar investment needs we also needed to consider the broader objectives of the Council and wider place, community council and housing priorities. This included:
• In 2016/17 the development of a comprehensive evidence base to understand the financial and social performance and prospects of each and every property owned by the Council to ensure investment decisions are based not just on a financial assessment but also on the broader social value that our housing stock provides in different areas for our residents. To date we have applied a 60%/40% balance.
• In 2017/18 we then examined the capacity of the HRA and the stock across the Borough within the strategic framework of the HRA and our approach to how we manage and maintain our housing and housing related asset portfolio, address additional investment priorities such as new build housing, de-investment and conversions, facilitating independent living for vulnerable people with disabilities by adapting properties, and estate-based community improvements to provide sustainable communities for the future.
• In 2018/19, we then developed the asset management strategy. Going forward the focus is on area investment planning and mainstreaming the strategic planning annual update.
What we found:From the initial strategic analysis and capacity review:
• Most of the Council’s stock was performing well, but some of it was not. Significantly, we found a strategy offull retention with full investment is open to challenge on VFM terms as it does not represent value for themajority of tenants. This represented a major departure from the historical approach.
• The stock which is not performing well was a significant drain on the HRA (in addition to the blight on thecommunities in which they are located) and so properties which are not viable, and for which there is nocertain demand, will be addressed through alternative interventions.
• The shortfall in funding was, for many years, managed through prioritisation and scheduling of works withinthe HRA. However, this was becoming increasingly difficult as the back log continued to grow due to the ageof the stock.
Some early benefitsWhat we have experienced so far:• A number of significant decisions taken to tackle poorly performing stock which previously had not
been possible (including several MSFs);• A £4m boost in last 18 months from disposal of long term void properties or high investment need
properties;• An increase of over £8M in the strategic valuation of the housing stock from £0.525M to £0.533M,
despite continued rent decreases over that period and loss of valuable stock through right to buysales;
• A 5% growth in the net strategic value of our housing stock per unit from just under £23,400 perunit to just over £24,500;
• Proportionately more of the stock assessed as green/performing (74% compared to 72% in 2016) asa result of the current investment programmes and intensive management initiatives and acorresponding reduction in stock assessed as cause for concern/amber (1.5% improvement) and notperforming/red (0.5% improvement).
Strategic Management of HRA Value
Additional HRA capacity. Further appraisal and investment planning required but
spending priotiries collaboratively developed
Strategic management of HRA ValueBaseline and SAMS plans compared
Taking a more strategic approach delivers a significant improvement in the HRA with some early benefits already realised. Whilst there are fewer assets over the longer term, these are generating stronger cashflows as the
majority of the underperforming stock, particularly the long-term liabilities are proactively addressed. Importantly this means there is more cash available for reinvestment in fewer units and so the available resources can go
further (Dudley Standard+). The impact on the local housing market and community beyond the financial gain is also measurable and how this is measured over time requires further development.
Strategic asset management Over the longer term
• A key focus over the next 10 years is on tackling under-performing stock whose liability is weighing down the HRA in order to free up financial capacity for re-investment in more sustainable and necessary investments (including increasing compliance). Our liabilities are clearly identified and alternative options are being considered for those properties that are not viable under a full retention strategy;
• Our long-term challenge is to balance our existing portfolio of housing stock equitably across the entirety of the borough to meet demand. This, whilst addressing the lower value poorly performing stock at a pace and on a scale, that maintains value in those areas and properties that are currently performing and has sufficient impact to prevent any further decline in value for those that are not;
• Through understanding the relative performance and value of our properties, on a property by property, street by street and area by area basis, we can better plan to meet the needs of our existing and future tenants (for example, the housing needs and demands of older people) and deliver better strategic fit of housing supply with demand in our local communities; and,
• We have an early indication of future issues emergingand the council’s strategy for investment in its existinghousing stock, services and new housing supply is re-connected to the communities in which theinvestments will be made.

Case study: 1Carer feedback Livingwell service
Our mother resides in a Livingwell complex and has done so for over 30 years, we
have seen many changes throughout this time, we cannot speak highly enough of the
service and the staff at Livingwell
All our family agree that:
• Livingwell is a fantastic service that offers a variety of activities that are tenant led
• Staff interaction with tenants is great
• It has prevented our Mother from becoming isolated in her home
• Tenants are directing what happens at their service
• The drop in service is fantastic, we can even come over with Mum for a cuppa and
natter
• OKEachDay service gives us added piece of mind that our Mother is safe
• If advice is needed, staff are helpful and knowledgeable
52
Case Study 2:Customer feedback Livingwell service
Customer at Dougrie Terrace
I have lived at my current address for over 8 years, I used to kept myself to myself and took very
little interest in my neighbours or what was going on in the area, I did not feel the service was a
community
Things that are now working well
• I love OKEachDay and the freedom it gives me, I press my button and then I can go out for the
rest of the day and do not need to worry, it keeps me in control
• I can report my repairs by pressing a button, this saves me a walk to the Housing office
• There is more community involvement and neighbours are getting together more, we feel
empowered to take the lead in our service
• I attend all events and have built up good relationships with the advisors
• I feel able to pop in even just for a chat, this has made a big difference to my life, I no longer
feel lonely
• I love my home and my community, it is a great place to live
53
Case study 3:Customer feedback – Housing Proactive
Customer at Marfield Amenity
I have lived at my current address for about 15 years, during this time any repairs that I had I would
ask that the staff on shift report these for me, it was the easiest option at the time, however since
OKEachDay has been installed things are so much easier and faster for me.
• My heating in my flat went down some months ago
• I pressed the button on my OKEachDay phone and reported the repair to the customer service
centre, it was so easy to do, and only took a couple of minutes
• Within 1 hour of the call to the customer service centre the workmen had called at my flat and
repaired the fault
• When staff came on shift I was able to advise them I had the fault with the heating and it had
already been repaired
• I cannot believe how quick and easy this repair took to be reported and resolved

What’s the key to sustainable sheltered housing?
What’s ‘wrong’ with sheltered housing?
• Sheltered housing built up to the 1980s was not really designed
for ‘older older’ residents
• Still seen as ‘modern’ – built for children of the 19th century!
• Homes are often small – between 30m² & 35m²
• Poor layout & accessibility problems common
• Problems with structure & out-dated services
• Under-utilised ‘guest’ rooms, scheme manager’s office & external
drying areas
Who lives in sheltered housing?
• Sheltered housing residents are increasingly diverse – wide
range of expectations, needs & ages
• Residents are often older & frailer – often living with
dementia or chronic ill-health
• Increasing numbers of younger people – most have no care
or support needs but others have complex needs
• More residents need to continue to work
• These ‘imbalances’ make it harder to provide a service that
meets all tenants needs & aspirations
