Changes to the Housing Management Teams The Housing Management Teams within the Housing and Property Service have recently undergone a restructure, which came into effect on 3 February 2020. The changes will help to manage the service more effectively.
Previously, tenants were allocated a specific Housing Management Officer at either the Civic Offices, the Broadway Office or the Limes Centre, depending on whether they live in the North or South of the district. The Housing Management function is no longer carried out in this way across the three offices. Instead, there are three separate teams dealing with matters as follows:
Rent issues – are now dealt with by the Income Recovery Team based at the Civic Offices. Responsibilities consist of rent collection, including rent arrears.
Estate and Land issues – which relate to estates and land acquired/held under Housing Act powers are now dealt with by the Estate and Land Team based at the Broadway Office in Loughton. Responsibilities include: estate inspections, clearance of communal areas following Fire Risk Assessment, estate enhancements and tenancy audits. The team will also be responsible for day-to-day management of, regularisation and some enforcement action relating to the use and/or misuse of the Council’s housing land.
Tenancy issues – are now dealt with by the Neighbourhoods Team based at the Limes Centre in Chigwell. Responsibilities include: tenancy sustainment, tenancy breaches, succession cases, anti-social behaviour from council tenants, sign-up of tenancies (with effect from April), joint tenancy applications, and changes to tenancies.
Communication is currently taking place to inform tenants of these changes and to provide them with the new contact details.
