“Over the next few months Brighton & Hove City Council will be carrying out stock condition surveys to support the development of future investment plans for our housing stock.

The Council has precured an external contractor, Michael Dyson Limited, to carry out the surveys for council owned homes, the outside of blocks and common ways. A sample of 20% of homes and 100% of blocks will be surveyed, with surveys starting in November 2019 and ending in February 2020.

We will be writing to residents directly when we are planning to survey homes. There will be posters and information on the council website.

We are planning on undertaking a rolling 20% of surveys each year over the next four years to ensure all the Council housing stock is surveyed.”
