Shelter CEO Polly Neate is the cover star of our January 2025 edition. As she prepares to step down from the housing charity in March, Polly reflects on the highs and lows of her seven years in the role and the current state of housing in the UK.
Our other main features include exclusive Freedom of Information research into tenancy fraud which shows that local authorities are leading the way in tackling the problem.
Elsewhere, we ponder the lessons to be learned from the first year of Tenant Satisfaction Measures and what the findings tell us about repairs, complaints, collection methods and diversity.
We also look at the future of social housing rents policy, the options on the table for government, and the case the sector is making for rent convergence.
And, as 2025 gets underway, we ask sector leaders and influencers to give us their housing predictions for the year ahead.
