We have also made a budget allowance for unplanned upgrade work resulting from empty homes and reactive maintenance outcomes.
We have received grant funding in 2025-2026, to support major adaptation installations referrals from Occupation Therapy Assessments.
More investment will be targeted by area over the coming years in line with our Asset Management Strategy and as rental income allows. Best value will be achieved by:
• Procurement of bulk contracts for planned work, as one-off replacement works cost more per unit.
• Seeking grant funding where available for energy efficiency and heating improvements
• Future proof of our investments by aligning with the upcoming standards and East Lothian Council District Heating Strategy
• Considering longevity and sustainability over lowest price
We are continually reviewing our planned and cyclical maintenance objectives against the full thirty-year business plan. Projections have been made for the next 5 years subject to budget and funding approvals made on an annual basis. Please do not hesitate to contact HfL Maintenance and Asset team if you would like to discuss the framework of planned maintenance for your property.
