Consultation on how to implement Social Rent convergence
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking views on how to implement Social Rent convergence, as part of the government’s 10 year rent settlement for social housing.
Following the previous consultation, the government announced (as part of the Spending Review) that there will be a 10 year rent settlement for social housing from 1 April 2026 in which rents will be permitted to increase by CPI+1% per annum.
However, the government received clear feedback in response to the previous consultation that the level of investment in new and existing social housing that is needed to deliver the government’s ambitions will not be unlocked unless Social Rent convergence is implemented.
A copy of the consultation and the online survey can be accessed by clicking the link to the consultation.
