Agenda Item 8
BOARD 26 June 2013
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2013-15
Report by Chief Executive
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 To update the Board on progress with delivery of the Development Programme 2012/13 – 2014/15, advise who the preferred tenderer(s) is (are) for the projects at Leurbost, Balivanich and Craigston and give delegation to the Chief Executive to determine the procurement route for the next phase of Mackenzie Park.

2.3 The Comhairle has approved a draft Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) for the period 2013-2015. Delegation has been given to the Housing Team at the Comhairle following consultation with stakeholders including HHP to complete and submit the SHIP. The draft SHIP is at Appendix 1.

Jackie Macleod Page 2 of 2 14/6/13
COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 There is sufficient private finance budgeted to deliver 4 affordable rented houses in
2013/14. There is further provision in 2014/15 for 9 units (£450k). The budget for 2014/15 will be required to be reviewed to meet the 2012/13 – 2014/15 approved programme. This review will take place during 2014/15 budget process.
Legal 5.2 Project management services are being provided by Tighean Innse Gall on the basis of an
Appointment Agreement drawn up by Harper Macleod.
RISK
6.1 Development is inherently risky. There has been detailed feasibility work undertaken by Tighean Innse Gall for the three projects on the development programme to reduce the level of risk to HHP. Design and Build projects pass more risk to the developer than traditional competitive tendering arrangements.
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 The tenders for the Design and Build competition for Leurbost, Balivanich and Craigston had to be returned by 14 June 2013. The successful tenderer(s) will be reported to this meeting. Delegation was given to the Chief Executive to appoint the preferred tenderer(s) due to the requirement for the planning application process to commence by 1 July 2013.
7.2 The Comhairle considered and approved the draft Strategic Investment Plan (SHIP) on 4 June 2013 (Appendix 1).
7.3 At the same meeting the Comhairle agreed to include a site at Crowlista, Uig as its preference for a fourth rural development for 2013-15.
7.4 The feasibility of the site will be the subject of a joint appraisal by the Comhairle and HHP.
7.5 Market testing on the 2 NSSE projects at the former Lewis Hotel has demonstrated no interest therefore this project will fall out of the SLP.
7.6 To deliver the SLP within the tight deadline set by Scottish Government with all grant monies spent by 31 March 2013, the procurement route for the next phase of Mackenzie Park needs to be determined prior to the September 2013 Board meeting.
7.7 To assist with the required progress it is proposed that delegation be given to the Chief Executive to determine the procurement route. The Development Workgroup will review the possible options and monitor progress.

COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 The Annual Report and Financial Statements report on how the resources for the year
ended 31 March 2013 have been utilised. The cost of auditing and producing copies of the Annual Report and Accounts has been provided for in the Annual Report and Accounts.
Legal 5.2 The following Partnership rules are applicable: a) Rule 4 - As a landlord and managing agent we will:
Rule 4.1 - have regard for the requirements of public accountability.
Rule 4.2 - use any money we receive carefully and properly.
b) Rule 72 – The Board must send the Partnership’s accounts and Balance Sheet to the Partnership’s auditor. The auditor must then report to the Partnership on the accounts they have examined. In doing this, the auditors must follow the conditions set out in Section 9 of the Friendly and Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1968 and paragraphs 13 (2) and 13 (3) of Schedule 7 Part 3 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001.
c) Rule 73 - The Partnership must provide the Scottish Housing Regulator and the Financial Services Authority with a copy of its accounts and the auditor’s report within six months of the end of the period to which they relate.
5.3 The Annual Report and Financial Statements prepared must comply with the Statement of
Recommended Practice (SORP) - Accounting by registered social landlords 2010 and the Registered Housing Associations (Accounting Requirements) (Scotland) Order 2007.
5.4 There is no requirement at this stage for an RSL to adopt International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). 5.5 The Facility Agreement with our Funder’s requires the Partnership to submit audited
Annual Report and Financial Statements within six months from the end of the period to which they relate and also confirmation from our External Auditor that the Financial Covenants have been met.
5.6 The following Financial Regulations are applicable:
a) 5.10.1 – Preparation of annual accounts is to commence immediately after the end of each financial year and draft accounts are to be prepared for consideration by the auditors and by the Resources Committee no later than three months after the year-end.
b) 5.10.4 - the draft accounts and audit management letter will be reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee. On the recommendation of the respective Committees, the draft accounts will be submitted to the Board for approval, and subsequently for adoption at the Annual General Meeting.
RISK
6.1 The risk of not complying with the Legal requirements has been mitigated by completing the preparation of the Annual Reports and Financial Statements within three months of the year-end.
DML Page 3 of 3 14/6/13
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 A set of accounts for the year ended 31 March 2013 have been prepared and are at Appendix 1 to this report. An audit report will be issued at the meeting of the Committee and the Board.
7.2 Confirmation from Wylie & Bisset that HHP has met the Financial Covenant for 2012/13 as required by our Funder is also expected at the meeting.
7.3 A detailed presentation will be given at the Board meeting on the Accounts and the performance for the year.
7.4 The key financial factors to highlight in the Annual Accounts are the:
a) adjustments to rental income to restate liability and investment expensed to Income & Expenditure Account arising from an outstanding adjustment from the implementation of component accounting in 2011-12;
b) decrease of just over £88K in turnover reflecting reduction in the sale of LIFT properties (18 in 2011-12, 6 in 2012-13);
c) proposal to transfer £432,185 to designated reserves as shown in Note 21;
d) inclusion of the subsidiary HHP Community Housing and the decision not to prepare group accounts as the Company did not trade during the year; and
e) net liability on the Pension Fund decreasing to £1,894K as shown in Note 23.
7.5 A separate report is being presented to the Board and detailing performance for the year against the approved budget.

DML Page 2 of 2 14/6/13
COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 The Report deals with how the financial resources of the Partnership have been utilised. 5.2 The borrowing requirements for 2013-14 will need to reviewed to ensure the carry
forward of underspend does not impact materially on the approved annual financing strategy or on the financial covenants set for 2013-14.
Legal 5.3 The following Partnership rules are applicable:
Rule 81.2 - At an annual general meeting, members may decide to use profits in the following ways:
Rule 81.2.1 - to set aside an amount recommended by the Board to allow the Partnership to carry out the objects of the Partnership.
Rule 81.2.2 - to give an amount recommended by the Board to charitable voluntary groups which further the objects of the Partnership.
5.4 The following Standing Orders are applicable:
Part 2 a) The decision to approve and amend Budgets including virements in excess of £20,000 is reserved to the Board.
RISK
6.1 The budgets approved by the Board ensure that the Financial Covenant for the financial year will be achieved. Failure to contain spend within approved budgets could result in the Financial Covenant not being achieved with the corresponding penalties being applied by the Funder which could have a significant impact on the finances of the Partnership.
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 A review of performance against budget has been carried out and a high level report is at Appendix 1 together with explanations for material variances from approved budgets.
7.2 Appendix 2 details proposals for carrying forward budgets into 2013-14 totalling £757.6K.
7.3 In June 2012 the Board approved a recommendation to the membership of the AGM that £2,000 be donated to 4 local charities. The donations were very much appreciated by the local charities and it is proposed that a similar recommendation be placed before the membership of the 2013 AGM.

Net Rental Income
Commentary on Right to Buy
The level of RTBs for 2012/13 was similar to 2011/12. A combination of the impact of component accounting coming into full play and valuations being less than in 2011/12 has resulted in a decrease in the profit made on the sale of ouse.. The amount HHP is allowed to retain for each RTB reduces every year resulting in a reduction in RTB income year on year. One property was sold during the year on the open market but HHP only retained the standard 5% share of the profit.
Actual performance fell below budget for the year because of the impact of component accounting.
Commentary on Net Rental Income
Rental Income has exceeded buget by £77K which is around 1.0%. This primarily due to the Voids performance being much better than budget and one new build scheme coming on‐stream sooner than had been assumed when the budget was set. One new schemes was completed during the year adding 15 units to stock and increasing the rental income from the previous year.
Commentary on Grant Income
Grant Income has increased slightly due to :a) Deficit Fund Grant is £50K higher which is in line with the agreement with the Scottish Governmentb) an increase in the level of OT grants received.
Grant income is more or less in line with the budget.

FRX YEAR END REPORT 31 March 2013 v 3.0
Commentary on Repairs Overall, spend on Repairs and Maintenance was £150K (8.6%) over budget compared with an overspend of £27K (1.6%) last year. There were significant overspends on response repairs, handymen and rechargeables. The overspends was largely compensated for by the underspend on the void loss budget.
A review is being undertaken to establish if the cause of the overspend is due to an increase in volume or prices or a combination of both.
Commentary on investment
The budget for investment works of £4,268k was underspent by £115k
The Investment works planned were delivered within budget and some works were pulled forward from future years.

BOARD 26 JUNE 2013
MANAGEMENT REPORT TO 31 MAY 2013
Report by Director of Resources
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 To present a high level management report for the month ended 31 May 2013 for the Board to review.
SUMMARY
2.1 This is the first report following the year end and the information is presented at a high level to provide Board Members with assurance that expenditure is within approved budgets and income collected is on target. A copy of the high level report is at Appendix 1.
2.2 Management reports for the remainder of the year will provide more detail.
COMPETENCE
3.1 The legal, financial or other constraints to any recommendation in this report are contained in Paragraphs 5.1 to 6.1.
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 It is recommended that the Board notes the management report at 31 May 2013 as detailed in Appendix 1.

COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 The Board approved budgets for 2013/14 in February 2013 which projected a surplus for
the year of £3,336,879.
Legal 5.2 There are no legal matters arising from the consideration of this report.
RISK
6.1 The key risk is that HHP does not meet its Financial Covenants on an on going basis. The covenant for 2013-14 has been set at £1,841,180. Covenants will be monitored from June 2013 and reported to each meeting of the Board.
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 A high level Income and Expenditure Account has been prepared and shows that with the exception of planned maintenance expenditure is within the profiled budget.
7.2 Capital Expenditure is currently £382K behind the budget for the period and this is due to a slight delay in works commencing on site for investment and a decision to hold back on some planned heating works to enable grant funding to be obtained. Development expenditure is over budget by £71K due to slippage on the Gibson development. This will be addressed following the approval of the budget to be carried forward into 2013-14
7.3 There has been significant movement in the Balance Sheet on both Debtor and Creditors and this is largely due to reversals of year end adjustments for accruals and prepayments. The increase in Sundry Debts is due to a grants claims submitted to Scottish Government and raising invoices for Account Properties for the first six months of the year.

COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 This report deals entirely with the cash resources utilised over the final quarter of
2012/13.
Legal 5.2 Rule 19.1 to 20.1 details the Partnership’s borrowing powers. 5.3 The effecting of borrowing and lending money is in accordance with the Partnership’s
borrowing and lending policies and CIPFA’s “Treasury Management in Housing Partnerships: a Code of Practice” and has been delegated to the Director of Resources.
5.4 The Treasury Management Policy requires that as a minimum a quarterly report is
provided to the Board in the form “Analysis of Investment and Borrowing”. 5.5 The Treasury Management Policy requires that if the cash balances exceed £2.5m the
funds should be spread over no fewer than three interest bearing accounts. The cash balances are in a special interest account with Royal Bank of Scotland (RBOS). The remainder is held in the current accounts with the RBOS.
RISK
6.1 There are a number of risks highlighted in the Risk Register in relation to Treasury Management. The risk scored as “high” is the impact of increases in the interest rate and inflation rate and this has been addressed in Appendix 1.
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 There were no borrowings during the final quarter and this was in line with the Annual Financing Strategy for 2012/13.
7.2 The final quarter of the year saw £3.592 million of expenditure of which just over £0.736 million related to new build.
7.3 The income for the final quarter was just over £2.956 million and comprised Rental Income and grants (25.6%) for new build.
7.4 Appendix 2 summarises the income and expenditure profiles for the final quarter.
7.5 The cash balances at 31 March 2013 decreased by £0.302 million to £1.996 million due to the repayment of grant to CNES in relation to the LIFT sales. The cash balances are expected to reduce towards the end of the first quarter of 2013/14 with the Gibson development now progressing and work on the investment programme for the new financial year commencing.
31 MAR 2013 ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENTS AND BORROWINGS

INVESTMENTS
BORROWINGS
CompliancewithCashFlowForecasts
The Annual financing Strategy for 2012/13 forecast there would be a requirement to borrow £0.900 million during 2012/13 to fund new build and investment works. However there was no requirement to borrow mainly due to delay in the development at the Gibson as a result of the contractor going into administration.
The covenants included in the Facility Agreement have been updated to take account of when the Partnership is in a deficit position. A deficit was forecast for 2012‐13 so the Interest Cover Covenant for the year will be based on a deficit position rather than a ratio. To be compliant with the financial covenant the Partnership’s deficit in 2012/13 must not exceed £1,143,560. Confirmation from
External auditor is awaited but current indications from the year end position show that the covenant will be achieved for 31 March 2013.
InterestRatesThe Interest Rate that applies to the Partnership is LIBOR plus an agreed margin. LIBOR (London Inter Bank Offer Rate) is the interest rate banks borrow funds from each other in the London Interbank Market.

MEETING WITH SCOTTISH HOUSING REGULATOR
Report by Chief Executive
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 To advise the Board of the 2013/14 of the Scottish Housing Regulator’s Regulation Plan for HHP for 2013/14 and the recent meeting between the Regulation Manager and the Chief Executive.
SUMMARY
2.1 The Scottish Housing Regulator publishes a Regulation Plan on an annual basis for all high and medium engagement Registered Social Landlords. The Regulation Plan sets out the engagement the Regulator will have with HHP during 2013/14 (Appendix 1).
2.2 The Regulation Manager, Janet Dickie, is the Regulator’s Lead Officer for HHP. A meeting with HHP is held twice a year. The latest meeting was held between the Regulation Manager and the Chief Executive on 29 April 2013.
2.3 The Regulation Manager focussed on the risks and challenges facing HHP, including progress towards SHQS, Investment Plan, Development Programme and the impact of Welfare Reform. There were no areas of concern raised at the meeting.
COMPETENCE
3.1 There are no legal, financial or other constraints arising from the consideration of this report being implemented.
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 It is recommended that this report is noted.

COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 There are no financial implications arising directly from consideration of this report.
Legal 5.2 There are no legal implications arising directly from consideration of this report.
RISK
6.1 The Regulator is taking a risk based approach to the regulation of Registered Social Landlords. HHP is classified as Medium Engagement on the basis of risk – “Given HHP’s size, turnover, debt, the scale of its investment activity and its key role as the main landlord in the Western Isles, we consider it to be of systemic importance” (Scottish Housing Regulator – 28 March 2013).
6.2 The Scottish Housing Regulator is increasingly intervening in the governance of RSLs in Scotland. Indeed such intervention including imposing consultancy input to the day to day business of RSLs on Boards is at the highest level since the growth of the RSL movement in the 1970s.
6.3 A report on the meeting between HHP’s Chair, Executive Team and the Regulation Manager in October 2013 in relation to the Regulation Plan will be reported to the Board.

BOARD MEMBERS' EXPENSES
Report by Director of Resources
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 To advise the Board of the expenses incurred by Board Members during the period 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013.
SUMMARY
2.1 It is recognised that Board Members will incur necessary expenses in the pursuit of their duties.
2.2 The Partnership has determined that reasonable expenses will be reimbursed subject to the conditions set in the Members’ Expenses Policy.
COMPETENCE
3.1 There are no legal, financial or other constraints to the recommendations contained in this report.
RECOMMENDATION
4.1 It is recommended that the breakdown of Board Members’ Expenses detailed in Appendix 1 of the report be noted.

COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 There are no financial implications arising from implementing the recommendations in
this report.
Legal 5.2 The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 prohibits the payment of remuneration for work
undertaken in the capacity as a Board Member.
RISK
6.1 HHP is open and transparent in all its reimbursements of expenditure for Board Members. By presenting this report on an annual basis, it reduces the risk of breaching the conditions of the Members’ Expenses Policy.
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 Expenses are claimed at the end of every calendar month using the approved Claim Form with all necessary receipts attached.
7.2 All Claim Forms are checked and approved for payment by the Chief Executive and payment made within 10 working days.
7.3 Appendix 1 details the areas of expenditure incurred during the year against budget.
7.4 On analysing the data, there has been an overall underspend of 47% on the total budget allocated to Board Members.
7.5 Reasons for the underspend have been ascribed to:
(a) members on the Board who are already up in Stornoway on other business, either only claiming part or none of their expenses from HHP;
(b) the increased use of Skype for Board Members in the Southern Isles to attend training and meetings remotely;
(c) inability to attend Board Meetings for personal reasons;

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT – 2012/13
Report by Director of Resources
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 To present to Members a set of indicators from the Resources Department to assist with monitoring performance.
SUMMARY
2.1 At the 17 March 2010 Board Meeting, Members approved the presentation of an annual report containing key indicators on the performance of the Resources Department.
2.2 Officers have collated information on five key areas: ICT, Human Resources, Estates Management, Finance, and also on Governance.
2.3 The indicator set will be valuable in terms of managing and understanding the performance and value for money of the six corporate functions.
COMPETENCE
3.1 There are no legal, financial or other constraints to the recommendations in this report.
RECOMMENDATION
4.1 It is recommended that Members note the performance in the set of indicators presented at Appendices 1, 2, 3 , 4 and 5.

ACS Page 2 of 13 14/6/13
COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 There are no financial implications arising from the consideration of this report.
Legal 5.2 There are no legal matters arising from the consideration of this report.
RISKS
6.1 Organisations should monitor and compare their performance against that of their peers. The use of good quality information for making decisions, managing performance and demonstrating value for money is a vital part of the work of all public sector organisations. The risks associated with performance not being monitored could lead to an organisation not enhancing its capacity to deliver and improve.
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 In 2006 the Public Sector Audit Agencies commissioned KPMG who worked with more than 100 public sector organisations to develop a suite of value for money indicators covering the five main areas of corporate service: Finance, Human Resources, ICT, Estates Management and Procurement.
7.2 HHP has adopted the above set of indicators and is committed to reporting on an annual basis. In addition, some KPIs have also been included for the Governance function.
7.3 Audit Scotland has stated that performance management and reporting tends to be underdeveloped in the corporate services area. These indicators will provide a useful tool for supporting improvement.
ICT INDICATORS
7.4 The 2012/13 ICT indicators reflect the outcomes and ongoing implementation of the two procurement processes that have been undertaken through the year. These were for hosting and support services, and for our Housing and Finance systems.
While ongoing support and usage costs have been reduced by 7.5%, consultancy and implementation costs related to the above have pushed the cost of the ICT function as a percentage of HHP’s running costs up from 10.5% to 12.6%. These costs are within the 4 year ICT budgets approved by the Board, and will bring cost reductions or prevent anticipated increases over the next three years.
Call response from the helpdesk within one hour has risen from 34% to 89%, and call resolution sign-off is running at 100% (up from 64%).
System uptime has been running at between 99% and 100% since the beginning of the year, but we have had network and configuration issues that have been affecting the system availability – particularly in January. These have now mostly been resolved, but they have pushed up the annual figure slightly.
Further discussion regarding reporting and performance is due to take place with Castle on the 27th of June.
We have also begun to support and maintain a number of mobile and remote working services, which the Directors and Council staff in Castlebay and Tarbert are currently evaluating and testing.
We are beginning to test a number of thin client devices (four in total) to see how they perform in real world scenarios.
ACS Page 3 of 13 14/6/13
ESTATE MANAGEMENT INDICATORS
7.5 As we are still awaiting some energy and building maintenance costs relating to 2012/13 we have been unable to provide an overall estate management cost by year comparison. This will be provided to the Board in an update at a later date.
7.6 Energy costs in the Stornoway Office have fallen by 9% during the year.
7.7 Water charges across the organisation have reduced by 32% during the year.
7.8 A new fire exit door in Stornoway was responsible for the increase in office repairs.
7.9 The energy contract is due for renewal in the current year. An ongoing problem with water meterage at the Stornoway Office is still to be resolved. This will inevitably have cost implications once fixed.
HUMAN RESOURCES INDICATORS
7.10 There were fewer vacant posts this year than 2011/12 with only 2 new starts – one part-time post and one temporary post.
FINANCE INDICATORS
7.11 As with last year, there would appear to be a very significant difference between the forecast and the actual outurn. However, this has been influenced to a very large extent by the impact of Investment expenditure and how that is dealt with.
7.12 Capitalised investment expenditure for the year totaled £3.421m (2012 - £2.461m) and the impact of the forecast position at the end of September would have assumed the full allowance for the Investment Programme in total of £3.85m this year. If we were to adjust the forecast deficit in the September accounts to reflect that then the actual difference is considerably reduced.
Costs of Sales Invoice function per invoice processed
7.13 The actual cost of producing the sales invoice are assumed as being the same as last year as the staffing has not changed and overheads have not increased. The level of invoices processed has reduced this year, particularly in respect of Grants, pushing the indicator up.
Debtor Days
7.14 As with previous years the Grants invoicing skews the position. The year-end position at March 2013 included minimal Grants debt, whereas the previous year included nearly £400k of Grant debtors, whilst there was a significant drop-off in the level of Grants invoiced during the year as the level of ongoing developments reduced. The impact is that a comparison of the underlying position is not very meaningful.
7.15 If we remove the Grants invoicing form the figures for the year, the impact is a significant deterioration in the position at year end.
7.16 There are other smaller factors that continue to impact on this ratio, specifically:
the Sgailean debt of approximately £18k, which is long standing but which has been put to one side as past of an assistance package at the present time
ACS Page 4 of 13 14/6/13
the sums due in respect of the properties at Manor Drive. These have increased as the majority of the owners have withheld payment of their invoices until the underlying issues have been resolved.
7.17 Overall, however, the position has deteriorated primarily because of increased levels of FTA and rechargeable repairs, which can often remain unpaid more or less in full for well over a year before the decision is made to write off debts. Whilst this could be improved by looking to write –off debts more quickly, in the current economic climate the situation is unlikely to improve in the short term.
Credit Notes as percentage of invoices raised
7.18 The percentage has risen slightly this year – this has not been due to higher levels of credit notes been raised but rather to a lower level of invoices being raised during the year. Whilst there has been an increase, it is not material in percentage terms it remains within reasonable limits.
Cost of Accounts Payable (per invoice processed)
7.19 Cost of provision of the service assumed to have remained the same but the number of transactions has reduced, mainly due to the revised basis of dealing with the FES transactions, which are now dealt with as a few aggregate invoices rather than a large number of individual transactions.
7.20 The cost per transaction has therefore reduced as a consequence but whilst the time involved with this aspect has reduced as a result the time has been taken up with other aspects such as Investment work.
Percentage of payments settled by BACS
7.21 The trend shows a continuing improvement from last year. Payment of trade suppliers by cheque is now a very isolated occurrence and cheques tend to be to tenants in the main for decoration/disturbance allowances. Again, BACS payment is encouraged wherever possible but ultimately depends on the tenant’s co-operation.
Percentage of o/s debt over 90 days old
7.22 The ratio of debts outstanding over 90 days has appeared to grow substantially but direct comparison is misleading with last year because the balance included £396k of grant invoices, which are all short-dated debtors – if we removed these from last year’s figures the percentage would be 69.2%.
7.23 After making the above adjustment, the figures are slightly worse than last year on the face of it but they are affected by the situations re Manor Drive and Sgailean mentioned elsewhere, so overall the position is broadly stable.
Percentage of invoices paid within term
7.24 Under the new system it should be ultimately possible to calculate this. However at present there is no real trend to show, other than absolute numbers for those accounts which have not settled within terms, so it probably makes sense to introduce this properly next year, when a full range of information is available.
Payroll admin cost per employee
7.25 The cost per employee has reduced slightly from last year.

GOVERNANCE INDICATORS
7.26 In addition to being a legal requirement to publish Board papers 7 days prior to Board and Committee meetings, is a priority for the Governance Team to publish the papers in sufficient time for Board members to read them and to make them available on the HHP website for any members of the public who may attend the Board meeting. In 2012/13, 85% of Board papers were published by the required date and 15% - one set of papers -were published one day late. This was down to problems the Team had with converting papers into PDF format, and papers were made available as soon as possible once the problem had been resolved.
7.27 The Performance Report has not been published by the agreed date on any occasion in this current year. Although the majority of data is ready with comments input by that date, repairs data is not available until after the Performance Report’s publication date has passed, and as a result the Performance Report is generally late. The Governance Team will be addressing the issue this year.
7.28 The Governance Team will be developing its own KPIs until there is a full suite available to monitor the Governance function.

BOARD 26 June 2013
WELFARE REFORM UPDATE
Report by Director of Operations
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 This report is to update the Board on the implications of the Welfare Reform Act for HHP.
SUMMARY
2.1 The Welfare Reform Act 2012 introduces several changes to the benefit system. Of particular concern to HHP are the ‘bedroom tax’ which was introduced from 1 April 2013 and Universal Credit expected from 1 October 2013.
2.2 Universal Credit will provide a single benefit and replaces benefits such as Jobseekers’ Allowance and Working Tax Credit.
2.3 Universal Credit will include a housing element and payments will be made monthly in arrears direct to the claimant. Only in exceptional circumstances will payments be made to the landlord.
2.4 Housing Officers are working to identify and assist those tenants affected by the ‘bedroom tax’ whose accounts are developing new arrears or where existing arrears are escalating.
2.5 Work is ongoing to prepare for the introduction of these changes introduced by Universal Credit with a particular focus on developing knowledge of tenant’s circumstances and support needs.
2.6 The changes will have significant resource implications and provision is being made for this. A funding bid has been submitted for assistance with the provision of advice services to tenants.
COMPETENCE
3.1 The financial, legal or other constraints are detailed at paragraph 5.
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 It is recommended that the Board:
a) Note the report and the implications of the changes for HHP;
b) Note the resource and staffing implications of the Welfare Reform agenda; and
c) Issue a Press Release supporting David Orr’s view on ‘Bedroom Tax’.
Jackie Macleod Page 2 of 6 14/6/13
COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 The proposals will present financial challenges for HHP as rental income will be more
difficult to collect and the costs of collection will be higher. The unpredictability of payments will also impact on cashflow.
Legal 5.2 There are no legal implications arising directly out of consideration of this report.
RISK
6.1 Rent arrears levels are likely to increase as tenants’ incomes reduce and as the bedroom tax is applied. HHP income will become less predictable under Universal Credit as tenants will be required to make payments individually.
6.2 Void turnover and costs may increase as tenants attempt to downsize to reduce the impact of the penalties on their rent account.
6.3 Void periods are likely to increase as applicants on benefits refuse to accept properties too large for their needs and wait on suitably sized properties resulting in hard to let properties.
REPORT DETAILS Background
7.1 The Welfare Reform Act 2012 introduced many changes to the benefit system. Universal Credit is being introduced in place of existing benefits. Claims will be made per household rather than individuals and both members of a couple will be required to claim.
7.2 Claims are expected to be made online and subsequent contact between recipients and the delivery agency will also be conducted online. There will be less local contact and assistance.
Issues and Actions
7.3 An HHP working group is now preparing for these changes and key workstreams are:
Identifying tenants affected by ‘Bedroom Tax’;
Increasing our knowledge of tenants;
Communication with tenants and applicants;
Research; and
Staff Training.
Bedroom Tax
7.4 Tenants affected by bedroom tax have now seen a reduction in their Housing Benefit take place.
Jackie Macleod Page 3 of 6 14/6/13
7.5 The information on the housing benefit notification letter that we receive as a landlord is limited. Although the notification shows the full eligible rent and the tenant’s housing benefit entitlement award there is nothing distinguishing the shortfall as the ‘bedroom tax’.
7.6 Discussions are ongoing with Housing Benefit and they have been asked to provide us with notifications electronically showing amounts deducted due to the ‘bedroom tax’. To date Housing Benefit IT systems are unable to produce this information.
7.7 As at week ending 2 June 2013 there were 220 HHP tenants (10%) affected by the ‘bedroom tax’. Appendix 1 provides information available on the situation at present.
7.8 There are 53 tenants who are either paying in full or have a credit on their rent account and a further 85 tenants have now made and maintained a payment plan.
7.9 There are 51 tenants who have engaged with Housing Officers and made arrangements to pay but have broken the agreement. Housing Officers will continue to make contact with these tenants to try to make a revised payment arrangement.
7.10 There are a small number of tenants who are not engaging with the Housing Officers. There are 7 making part or irregular payments and 24 not making any payment towards their account.
Discretionary Housing Payments
7.11 The Discretionary Housing Payments Policy (DHP) has now been finalised and tenants affected by the ‘bedroom tax’ are now able to make an application for DHP.
7.12 Awards of DHP are short-term for a maximum of 13 weeks at a time and with a maximum of two consecutive awards. To be eligible for the short-term award tenants must be able to prove that they are actively seeking alternative housing e.g. on HHP’s transfer list.
7.13 Thereafter any subsequent awards will be reduced to an amount that the decision maker deems is appropriate taking the following factors into account: Availability of smaller properties within the applicants area; and Whether a move to another area/property would affect the health and/or wellbeing
of the applicant or any person within their household.
7.14 Long-term awards (up to 52 weeks) will be considered where an applicant is unable to move to a smaller property due to illness or disability of someone in the household where the property has been significantly adapted.
7.15 A recent survey carried out by the SFHA found that Housing Associations are struggling with a lack of transparency and guidance from local authorities regarding DHP. Housing Associations are not being advised by local authorities on whether or not a DHP application has been successful, and if so, for what amount and duration. HHP officers are experiencing some similar difficulties due to the limitations of the Housing Benefit IT system. However, a good working relationship is in place with the Housing Benefit team
Jackie Macleod Page 4 of 6 14/6/13
locally. Regular meetings take place and this has ensured that information on individual applications is exchanged.
7.16 To date 36 tenants have made successful applications for DHP. A further 140 have been advised by Housing Officers to make an application but we do not have the information at present on the number of tenants who have applied unsuccessfully or are awaiting decision. We have requested the information from the Housing Benefit Team.
7.17 Of the 36 in receipt of DHP, 30 are on full HB with a bedroom tax deduction. A further 5 are making full payment towards the rent account and one is making part payments.
Exemptions
7.18 Exemptions from the bedroom tax have now been applied to households where there is a son or daughter who is the armed forces and this remains their home.
7.19 Foster care families are now also able to maintain a spare room for up to 52 weeks to enable them to foster children. Preparation for Universal Credit
7.20 Data is being collected on those households that have a bank account and access to the internet.
7.21 It remains unclear what kinds of accounts will be eligible to have universal credit paid into them, and the draft regulations provide no additional clarity. The wording of the Act is broad enough to give scope to pay universal credit into any kind of account the Secretary of State deems appropriate including, the Post Office Card Account or any successor account but there is yet to be a definitive answer on this point from the DWP.
7.22 The first Universal Credit direct payment pathfinders started on Monday 29 April 2013.
7.23 Safeguards have been put in place for the duration of the pathfinders. When a tenant falls 2 months in arrears the landlord can apply to have payment direct to them. There has been nothing yet put in place for after the pathfinders. Information to Tenants
7.24 Information on Welfare Reform and Universal Credit was included with the rent statements issued in April 2013.
7.25 Housing Officers are making numerous phone calls and visits to affected tenants.
7.26 An article in the summer newsletter will provide updated information for tenants and urge those affected to get in touch with HHP or agencies such as Western Isles Citizens Advice Service for advice and assistance.
Jackie Macleod Page 5 of 6 14/6/13
7.27 Housing staff were available at the Stornoway Tenant Event on Friday 31 May 2013 to answer any queries tenants had. A number of tenants took the opportunity to speak to the Housing Officers at the event. Resources
7.28 Resources for the fundamental changes which affect HHP’s income need to be considered. Under Universal Credit all working age tenants will now be required to pay money directly to HHP. Many of these will have limited budgeting abilities, may have other debts and will certainly require assistance. It is critical that we know what tenant’s requirements are and are able to support them to ensure rent payments are made and sustained. In order to work with applicants and tenants to plan for the introduction of Universal Credit, additional staffing resources will be required. The increased pressure on existing resources has been recognised in the budget strategy. An additional 2½ posts may be required to meet the operational needs following the introduction of Universal Credit, particularly over the first 18 – 24 months of the changes. At this stage it is not known exactly when Universal Credit will be introduced in this area. Funding Bid
7.29 A funding bid has been submitted for assistance with the provision of advice services to tenants. The submission of the bid was approved by the Board on 29 May 2013. The funding will allow HHP working in partnership with the Citizens Advice Service to employ an additional 3 members of staff for the 18-month period of the grant. Welfare Reform Workshops and Partnership Working
7.30 HHP’s Director of Operations is part of the Poverty Action Group and an Officers Group established by the Community Planning Partnership (CPP).
7.31 HHP’s Chief Executive, Director of Operations and Service Development Manager met with the Leader of the Council on 22 April 2013 to discuss the impact of Welfare Reform and CnES are lobbying the Government for an exemption for the Islands from the ‘Bedroom Tax’.
7.32 Board members, HHP staff and local partners attended the HHP Housing Conference on Thursday 2 May 2013.
7.33 David Orr, National Housing Federation and Mary Taylor, Scottish Federation of Housing Associations were two of the Keynote speakers. On the day David Orr in particular delivered a very clear message setting out the sector view in England and Wales. He stated that the ‘Bedroom Tax’ is “unfair, incompetent and should be repealed”. During discussion he challenged any view that rents should be revised or reduced because of the bedroom tax.
7.34 At present the HHP position is unchanged and tenants are expected to pay the rent due.
Jackie Macleod Page 6 of 6 14/6/13
7.35 Following discussions surrounding David Orr’s message at the HHP conference and information contained within this Board paper, the Board may wish to issue a press release. It is recommended that the Board support David Orr and his view that “the ‘Bedroom Tax’ is unfair, incompetent and should be repealed”.
7.36 The Welfare Reform breakout session by Bill Irvine was one of the most popular sessions and received extremely positive feedback. Bill concentrated on providing new information regarding Universal Credit and the pathfinder projects.

Agenda Item 20
BOARD 26 June 2013
STOCK CONDITION SURVEY - DRAFT
Report by Director of Operations
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 To present to the Board an update on the Stock Condition Survey.
SUMMARY
2.1 Periodically HHP are required to carry out a Stock Condition Survey. This serves a number of purposes and provides information for strategic planning, financing purposes, asset management, legislative purposes and some social information.
2.2 The key outputs of the survey include assessing compliance with Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS) and the Western Isles standards, creating a financial profile of investment needs of the stock over the life of the business plan and providing energy efficiency and fuel poverty data.
2.3 The lender also requires the financial models for valuation purposes.
2.4 A meeting of the Repairs and Investment Working Group was held on 13 February 2013 to discuss the draft report.
2.5 This report presents the draft findings from the Stock Condition Survey carried out by David Adamson & Partners. The draft Stock Condition Survey report at Appendix 1 details condition and compliance with the SHQS, financial models for the next 30 years and fuel poverty data.
2.6 A further meeting of the Repairs and Investment Working Group was held on 29 May 2013. The group was briefed on the draft Stock Condition Survey findings and advised that these were being analysed prior to the report being finalised. An update on this work will be provided at the Board meeting.
COMPETENCE
3.1 The financial and legal implications are detailed in paragraph 5.
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 It is recommended that:
a) This report be noted; and
b) A letter be written to Ofgem and the local MSP and MP as recommended by the Investment Working Group to highlight the findings and concerns arising from the fuel poverty report.
Jackie Macleod Page 2 of 5 14/6/13
COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 Data gathered and costed from the survey may have an impact on the projected profile
of spend across the 30 year business plan. The findings are being analysed and compared to existing business plan projections.
5.2 The existing Investment Programmes may need re profiling in order to comply with the
legislative requirements of the SHQS 2015 targets. The report provides information on works which are required to achieve full compliance for 31 March 2015.
Legal 5.3 There are no legal implications to the report.
RISK
6.1 The stock condition survey reduces the risk to HHP by providing up-to-date information on the condition and investment requirements of the stock.
REPORT DETAILS
SURVEY AND CLONING
7.1 The survey programme was developed around a 25% sample of the stock. New build stock from 2003 was omitted on the assumption that such property is in good condition and compliant with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard. At the time of the survey, the stock was indicated at 1,877 (excluding post 2003 new build). The number sampled was 578 properties or 31% of the 1,877 units.
7.2 Stock was divided into various house types, house ages, letting areas and original owning body (such as LSVT and former RSLs). Data was cloned from surveyed properties to similar properties in the same street or scheme or near vicinity.
HOUSING CONDITIONS AND PERFORMANCE AGAINST SHQS
8.1 The stock has been assessed against the 5 main groupings of the SHQS which comprises 55 quality elements. The 5 main groupings are:
Must be Compliant with the current Tolerable Standard;
Must be free from serious disrepair;
Must be energy efficient;
Must have modern facilities and services; and
Must be healthy, safe and secure.
The Scottish Government guidance and criteria table for SHQS is attached at Appendix 2.
8.2 The overall performance against SHQS is set out in Appendix 3. This shows:
SHQS compliance (or exemption applicable) – 85%;
Jackie Macleod Page 3 of 5 14/6/13
SHQS Non Compliance – 15%;
Comparative performance – Scottish Housing Regulator – stock transfer RSL’s – 75%; and
Comparative performance – Scottish Continuous House Condition Survey (2010) –RSL’s – 47%.
30 YEAR LIFE CYCLE AND COST PROJECTIONS
9.1 Life cycle element replacement projections have been made for the housing stock over the 30 year planning period 2013/14 – 2042/43. Element replacement projections have been completed taking cognisance of several factors including element age and condition, material composition and industry guidelines, the quality of original construction, underlying maintenance regimes and site variation including location and exposure.
9.2 Costs to address replacements over the 30 year period are estimated at £111.846m gross representing an average 30 year spend of £49,887 gross per housing unit. This doesn’t allow for inflation.
9.3 Average gross five yearly spend across the 30 year period is estimated at £18.641m. Expenditure peaks between years 16-25 rising from a projected spend of £14.925m in years 1-5 to £25.543m in years 16-20. Later period spend figures are influenced by significant projected works to external building fabric and also by the emergence of post-2003 new build within the investment requirements.
9.4 Minimum works to achieve SHQS compliance are estimated at £1.240m gross. During the survey various components and elements were assessed for levels of disrepair. These catch up repairs are of a day to day nature which require to be carried out. Given the minor nature and scattered pattern of catch-up repair, no specific financial allowance has been recommended as the repairs are capable of being addressed through on-going maintenance programmes (cyclical, responsive and void maintenance).
9.5 Assumptions for growth such as inflation, across the 30 year period are accounted for separately within the business plan.
9.6 Unit and Cost projections for each of the 30 years are contained in Appendix 3. These tables show a breakdown of unit numbers and projected costs for each of the following groups of stock:
CnES transfer stock;
Non-CnES transfer stock; and
Post 2003 new build stock.
FUEL POVERTY
10.1 As part of the survey, it was agreed that a short interview would be conducted with the tenants. Participation was voluntary and data will remain confidential for each household. Tenant response was high with interviews completed in 532 of the 578 properties surveyed; this represents a 92% response rate, 23.7% of the tenant population.
Jackie Macleod Page 4 of 5 14/6/13
10.2 Two areas of information were addressed:
a) The demographic and socio-economic characteristics of tenant households; and
b) Fuel poverty including attitudes to and use of existing home heating.
10.3 Fuel poverty is dependant on two factors:
a) Household circumstances (income) and ability to pay for domestic energy; and
b) The cost of domestic energy as reflected in underlying fuel tariffs and the energy efficiency of individual properties.
10.4 Households are regarded to be in fuel poverty if they spend in excess of 10% of annual income on domestic fuel; as being in extreme fuel poverty if they spend in excess of 20% of annual income on domestic fuel.
10.5 There are two models for assessment:
a) Model 1 – this model uses theoretical annual running costs. The theoretical model is based on a specified temperature regime and average household use which may not fully reflect local climatic circumstances or household behaviour. Importantly it has no allowance for wind variation factors; and
b) Model 2 - uses information on actual annual fuel bills provided by tenants. This approach is considered to be a much more realistic in the islands.
10.6 Results based on models 1 and 2:
i) Model 1 – Fuel Poverty
HHP 33.5%; Scottish average 28.9%; and
Model 1 – Extreme Fuel Poverty
HHP 5.2%; Scottish average 7.8%.
ii) Model 2 – Fuel Poverty
HHP 61%; Scottish average 28.9%; and
Model 2 – Extreme Fuel Poverty
HHP 22%; Scottish average 7.8%.
10.7 Levels of poverty increase significantly using the tenant cost approach. The Survey data contains a wide ranging level of demographic detail which is contained in the main report.
10.8 Fuel poverty issues were discussed at length at the Investment Working Group. The concerns were unanimous and it was agreed to recommend that the Board write to Ofgem, MSP and MP to highlight issues and findings from the report.

FUTURE PLANNING
11.1 The lifecycle data, once finalised will be used to formulate and prioritise future investment programmes. The priority will be to achieve full compliance with SHQS, excluding exemptions and abeyances, prior to the 2015 deadline.
11.2 Shared works involving Common Areas or Accesses may not be achievable should private owner occupiers be unwilling to participate in planned works. Any non participation would qualify for an exemption on the SHQS.
11.3 The current approved 4 year programme is in year 3 of 4. The next 4 year period commencing 2015 will be based on the data collated from the Stock Condition Survey. This programme is currently being developed and will be discussed at the investment working group and will then be presented to the Board at a later date.
SUMMARY
12.1 The Stock Condition report is still being analysed and discussions are ongoing with Adamsons to clarify some issues. An update on the current position will be provided at the Board meeting.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
1.0 This report summarises the main findings to emerge from a comprehensive house condition
survey of the HHP housing stock. The primary objectives of the survey were to benchmark
the housing stock against the Scottish Housing Quality Standard and to project forward
investment needs within a life cycle planning framework for the 30 year period 2013/14 -
2042/43.
2.0 Project methodologies were based on current guidelines for local house condition surveys
issued by the Scottish Government, and on Scottish Government guidance for the Scottish
Housing Quality Standard issued in March 2011. National guidelines have been tempered
by local objectives and circumstances and in particular related to the origin of the housing
stock which includes new build and LSVT dwellings. Significant differences in housing
composition and construction are apparent between these groupings. Methodological
approaches have been based on the design and implementation of a sample house
condition survey programme.
3.0 The survey programme was developed around a 25% sample of tenanted housing stock
excluding new build properties constructed from 2003 onwards. At the time of survey
commissioning the Hebridean Housing Partnership housing stock was indicated at 2,242
dwellings, including 365 new build dwellings constructed post-2002. For condition reporting
purposes, estimates for new build have been included; on the assumption that such property
is in good condition and compliant with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard. From the
remaining target housing stock of 1,877 dwellings a sample of 560 dwellings was agreed
representing 30% of this stock. 4.0 A multi-stage stratified sampling design was adopted to represent suspected variations in
housing composition and housing condition. This included primary stratification by
construction type and secondary stratification by date of construction and dwelling
configuration.
5.0 Hebridean Housing Partnership became a Registered Social Landlord in September 2006
following the transfer of the Comhairles housing stock. Since that date HHP has expanded
through selective transfer, mortgage to rent and new build. At the time of survey HHP
indicated a total tenanted housing stock of 2,242 dwellings located across the Hebridean
Islands chain.

6.0 Houses and Bungalows comprise 1,567 dwellings (83.5%) with the remaining 310 dwellings
(16.5%) in flats. Houses and bungalows are typically of terraced or semi-detached
configuration, flats are most commonly found in four-in-block configuration or in low rise
purpose-built blocks. 605 dwellings (32.2%) were constructed pre-1965. Of these
dwellings, 137 dwellings (7.3%) were constructed pre-1945. Post 1965 development
accounts for 1,272 dwellings (67.8%) with 377 dwellings (20.1%) constructed 1983 - 2003.
NON-NEW BUILD HOUSING STOCK BY HOUSE TYPE AND DATE OF CONSTRUCTION
7.0 Overall, 1,900 dwellings (including abeyances and exemptions) comply with the
requirements of the SHQS, representing 84.7% of HHP housing stock. The remaining 342
dwellings (15.3%) are non-compliant with the standard. Rates of compliance at 84.7% are
above the Scottish average for stock transfer RSL’s as published by the Housing Regulator

10.0 Costs to address life cycle replacements over the 30 year period are estimated at £77.029M
net. Including fees, preliminaries and VAT gross costs equate to £111.846M representing
an average 30 year spend of £34,357 net and £49,887 gross per housing unit.
11.0 An interview programme with tenant households indicates that 14,368 households (61.0%)
are in fuel poverty; 493 households (22.0%) are in extreme fuel poverty. Key issues for
tenants include energy tariffs where 61% of tenants use power card payment methods, and
heating efficiency where a significant proportion of tenants are off-gas. 361 tenant
households (16%) are very dissatisfied with their current heating.
CONCLUSIONS
11.0 Information from the survey programme has been provided in electronic format for upload to
the Association’s Asset Management planning systems. In support of this, sample survey
data has been cloned across the housing stock to construct a 100% housing record. While
no guarantees of 100% accuracy can be given, this data can be refined and improved over
time as additional information becomes available from in-house information sources and/or
additional survey programmes. In this regard the Association may wish to consider a
phased additional survey programme aimed at achieving 100% survey coverage of the
housing stock.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.1 David Adamson & Partners Ltd. were appointed by Hebridean Housing Partnership to
complete a comprehensive survey of housing conditions across the Association’s tenanted
housing stock. The last major review of housing conditions was completed by the
Association in 2008/09. The current survey replaces previous information sources informing
the Association’s current position against the Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS),
assisting in the identification and prioritisation of current repairs and guiding the
development of costed planned maintenance/life cycle renewal programmes within a
business planning and component accounting framework. The study has also incorporated
a short interview with tenant households determining their social and economic
circumstances and underlying levels of fuel poverty.
1.2 This report presents the key findings to emerge from the study. In nine main sections the
report reviews:
SECTION 2 : Project Aims, Objectives and Outputs
SECTION 3 : Project Methodology

2.0 PROJECT AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND OUTPUTS
2.1 Hebridean Housing Partnership undertook a stock condition survey and life cycle costing
project in 2008/09 providing information to inform planned maintenance programmes and
budgets, to benchmark performance against the SHQS and to prepare a longer term
business plan. The period since the previous survey has witnessed several changes which
impact on the continued use of previous survey data. These changes include:
a) Changes to the housing stock including new build additions. b) Redefinition and restatement of SHQS requirements by the Scottish Government
and the issue of revised guidance in March 2011. c) The implementation of improvement programmes by the Association.
2.2 The present project was commissioned by HHP to replace and improve previous information
sources as part of its overall asset management strategy. The principal aims and objectives
of the study have been clearly defined within a project brief issued by HHP and include:
To obtain statistically reliable information concerning repair and improvement costs including catch-up repairs, future major repairs within a 30 year period and costs to achieve the Scottish Housing Quality Standard.
To collect attribute and condition information about the stock to assist and improve future maintenance planning.
To ensure data quality and reliability within a sample house condition survey framework.
To provide accessible and reliable planning data for future repair and improvement programmes including the delivery of survey data in electronic format.
To provide adequate comfort for the recipients of a housing stock transfer and the funders of the Hebridean Housing Partnership.
2.3 To meet these objectives the following range of outputs were required:
A written report, including Executive Summary, detailing the project methodology, findings and analysis.
30 year life cycle costing programme indicating annual investment required to maintain the stock in its current condition.

3.0 PROJECT METHODOLOGY
3.1 Project methodologies were based on current guidelines for local house condition surveys
issued by the Scottish Government, and on Scottish Government guidance for the Scottish
Housing Quality Standard issued in March 2011. Local factors have been incorporated
within the project design and in particular the varied origin of the housing stock which
includes both LSVT and new build dwellings. Methodological approaches have been based
on the design and implementation of a sample house condition survey programme.
3.2 The survey programme was developed around a 25% sample of tenanted housing stock
excluding new build properties constructed from 2003 onwards. At the time of survey
commissioning the Hebridean Housing Partnership housing stock was indicated at 2,242
dwellings, including 365 new build dwellings constructed post-2002. For condition reporting
purposes, estimates for new build have been included; on the assumption that such property
is in good condition and compliant with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard. From the
remaining target housing stock of 1,877 dwellings a sample of 560 dwellings was agreed
representing 30% of this stock.
3.3 A multi-stage stratified sampling design was adopted to represent suspected variations in
housing composition and housing condition. The following stages were involved:
STAGE 1 : PRIMARY STRATIFICATION BY CONSTRUCTION TYPE. Eleven main house
types were indicated by housing technical staff representing a homogeneity in construction
and design. Disproportionate stratification was employed across this framework permitting
increases in sample ratio’s for the more variable groups. Housing stock and sample
distributions by the main construction types are illustrated in Table 1.

Sample sizes were disproportionately targeted to older properties within each of the
construction types. 42 sample cells were developed incorporating the primary and
secondary stratification and are represented in Table 2.

TOTAL ALL CELLS 1877 560 1051
To ensure adequate geographical coverage across the Islands, samples in each cell were
systematically selected by Letting Area where appropriate.
3.4 Access rates of 55%, typical in a programme of this nature, were projected pre-survey. To
achieve the survey target of 560 full surveys a sample of 1,051 addresses was issued.
Outside of general access issues, tenant cooperation with the main survey programme was
high. Refusals to participate were received from only 10 tenants representing under 1% of
the total address issue. During the course of the survey, access and response rates were
monitored across the 42 sample cells ensuring retention of the sample design. Against a
HOUSE CONDITION SURVEY 2013 REPORT OF SURVEY
D a v i d A d a m s o n & P a r t n e r s L t d . | 15 P a g e
target of 560 full surveys, actual surveys were achieved in 580 dwellings. Tenant interviews
were completed in 532 surveyed dwellings representing a tenant response rate of 92% to
the household interview programme.
3.5 Information from the sample survey has been cloned across un-surveyed properties to
populate a 100% asset management database. Data cloning within the current survey has
been facilitated by the large sample size (30% excluding new build) and by the controlled
sample stratification. First stage cloning was controlled by sample cell, area office, house
type and street and achieved a 64% success rate. Street requirements were relaxed for the
final cloning exercise but with geographical controls imposed by postcode sector. Post
survey, cloned data has been further refined through the integration of known stock data
and historical improvement programmes provided by the Association. While sample sizes
are large and data cloning has been closely controlled both geographically and by property
type no guarantee of 100% accuracy can be given. Cloned data can be refined and
improved over time including the option to extend actual survey coverage to 100%. Cloned
property references are retained within the asset management database linking cloned
dwellings to their surveyed equivalent.
3.6 A copy of the survey questionnaire is attached at Appendix B. The information framework
emerging from the survey is discussed in detail in Section 4 of the report. In summary, each
surveyed dwelling was inspected both internally and externally including curtilage attributes
and common access arrangements. Information collected has included construction
characteristics and attributes, the standard of dwelling amenities and services, energy
efficiency, current repair condition, projected future major repairs and performance against
relevant housing standards including the Tolerable Standard and the Scottish Housing
Quality Standard. Surveyor measurement across these areas was informed by Scottish
Government guidelines including revised definitional guidance issued in March 2011 for the
Scottish Housing Quality Standard. Summary details of this guidance are attached as
Appendix D.

4.0 SURVEY INFORMATION FRAMEWORK 4.1 The survey programme has assembled a broad and detailed range of information for the
Hebridean Housing Partnership housing stock. A knowledge of the different types of
information compiled and their planning uses is helpful in the interpretation of this report.
1. ATTRIBUTE AND CONSTRUCTION. All key features in the construction and servicing of
a dwelling were collected and described on an individual element basis. Information on
the age and construction of elements, including their material composition, provides an
essential background to the understanding of the housing stock and its
maintenance/improvement needs. Component information also impacts directly on
several areas of SHQS compliance and on component accounting methodologies.
2. HOUSING REPAIR. The repair condition of all main building elements and services
was measured according to its extent using guidelines applied in the Scottish National
House Condition Survey programme and requirements within the Scottish Housing
Quality Standard.
3. FUTURE MAJOR REPAIRS. In addition to current repair condition surveyors were
required to assess the likely effective remaining life of main building elements and
services taking cognisance of the age and current condition of materials, industry
standards and existing maintenance regimes. Surveyor life cycle assessments have
been supplemented by Scottish Government guidance and by current life cycles
adopted by HHP for component accounting purposes.
Life cycle guidelines issued by the Scottish government in relation to the Community
Ownership Programme and also as applied by HHP in component accounting are
attached as Appendix C. Projections of future life cycle replacement are available
annually over a 30 year planning cycle.
4. ENERGY EFFICIENCY. The energy efficiency of the housing stock was measured
against SHQS requirements and an RdSAP (Version 9.91) assessment completed in
each surveyed dwelling.
5. HOUSING STANDARDS. Where appropriate, dwellings have been measured against
existing housing and/or statutory standards. In Scotland these include the Tolerable
Standard and the Scottish Housing Quality Standard. The Tolerable Standard
(incorporated within the SHQS) represents the minimum statutory housing standard in
HOUSE CONDITION SURVEY 2013 REPORT OF SURVEY
D a v i d A d a m s o n & P a r t n e r s L t d . | 17 P a g e
Scotland. While not a statutory standard, the Scottish Government requires all social
landlords in Scotland to achieve the Scottish Housing Quality Standard for their housing
stock by 2015. For dwellings to comply with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard
they must be:
Compliant with the Tolerable Standard;
Free from serious disrepair;
Energy efficient;
Provided with modern facilities and services;
Healthy, safe and secure.
Summary details of the Scottish Housing Quality Standard are attached as Appendix D.
6. REPAIR AND IMPROVEMENT COSTS. Using automated schedules of rates and
measures of housing condition from the house condition survey several cost outputs
are available including:
a) Improvements. Costs required for improvements to meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standard.
b) Catch-up Repairs. Costs required to address existing disrepair bringing properties up to a standard where a subsequent normal cyclical and planned maintenance programme will retain the property in adequate condition. Included within this category are priority repairs to ensure tenantable and habitable conditions, repairs resolving health and safety risks and repairs required for compliance with the SHQS.
c) Life Cycle Renewal. Costs required for the projected replacement of building elements as they reach the end of their effective life cycles. Full annual projections are available within the survey database and in spreadsheets appended to this report (appendix H).
Regional cost variation factors are also included together with additional allowances for
fees, preliminaries and VAT.

5.0 HEBRIDEAN HOUSING PARTNERSHIP - AREA OF OPERATION AND TENANTED HOUSING STOCK
5.1 Hebridean Housing Partnership became a Registered Social Landlord in September 2006
following the transfer of the Comhairles housing stock. Since that date HHP has expanded
through selective transfer, mortgage to rent and new build. At the time of survey HHP
indicated a total tenanted housing stock of 2,242 dwellings located across the Hebridean
Islands chain.
5.2 New build properties constructed post 2002 were excluded from survey investigation. For
the purposes of this report the housing stock analyses contained in this chapter relate to the
non-new-build sector (1,877 dwellings). Condition analyses and cost projections contained
in subsequent chapters incorporate new build stock (365 dwellings) on the assumption that
such stock is in good condition and meets the requirements of the Scottish Housing Quality
Standard.
5.3 Excluding new-build, the core housing stock for survey investigation was 1,877 dwellings.
The majority of this stock was transferred from Comhairles (1,617 dwellings - 86.1%).
Remaining stock originates from a variety of sources representing small scale acquisition
and transfer.

5.6 The housing stock is predominantly of traditional brick cavity or modern timber frame
construction with external wall finishes in dry or wet dash. Roof structures are typically
pitched with natural slate, artificial slate or concrete tile finishes. Non-traditional construction
as indicated by HHP is limited to 117 dwellings of ‘Swedish Timber’ construction. No
contingent major issues have been raised against the non-traditional stock.

6.0 HOUSING CONDITIONS AND PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE SHQS
6.0 Housing conditions within the HHP housing stock have been measured against the Scottish
Housing Quality Standard. As currently defined this standard comprises five main quality
groupings and 55 quality elements. To meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standard a
dwelling:
Must be compliant with the current Tolerable Standard.
Must be free from serious disrepair.
Must be energy efficient.
Must have modern facilities and services.
Must be healthy, safe and secure.
In addition to compliance/non-compliance with the Standard dwellings can be recorded as
exempt or in abeyance. The former reflects the situation where particular quality
requirements cannot be achieved for technical, disproportionate cost or legal reasons. The
latter reflects the situation where individual quality improvements are applicable but where
works have proven impossible to complete e.g. owner refusal in mixed tenure blocks and
tenant refusal in improvement programmes. Factors influencing abeyances are changeable
over time. Some elements can also be “not applicable” to a dwelling (e.g. cavity wall
insulation requirements in a solid wall). Summary details of the Scottish Housing Quality
Standard are attached as Appendix D.
6.1 SHQS ELIGIBLE HOUSING STOCK
6.1.1 SHQS eligible housing stock at January 2013 is estimated at 2,242 dwellings.
6.2 THE TOLERABLE STANDARD
6.2.1 The Tolerable Standard represents the minimum statutory standard for housing in Scotland.
Post 2004 the standard comprises 12 elements which in turn comprise element references 1 -
12 within the Scottish Housing Quality Standard:
SHQS 1 : Tolerable Standard - Structural Stability.
SHQS 2 : Tolerable Standard - Rising and Penetrating Dampness.
SHQS 3 : Tolerable Standard - Lighting, Ventilation and Heating.
SHQS 4 : Tolerable Standard - Wholesome Water Supply.
HOUSE CONDITION SURVEY 2013 REPORT OF SURVEY
D a v i d A d a m s o n & P a r t n e r s L t d . | 25 P a g e
SHQS 5 : Tolerable Standard - Sink with Hot and Cold Water.
SHQS 6 : Tolerable Standard - Water or Waterless Closet.
SHQS 7 : Tolerable Standard - Bath/Shower/WHB with Hot and Cold Water.
SHQS 8 : Tolerable Standard - Foul and Surface Water Drainage.
SHQS 9 : Tolerable Standard - Facilities for Cooking Food.
SHQS 10 : Tolerable Standard - Access to External Doors/Outbuildings.
SHQS 11 : Tolerable Standard - Electrical Installations.
SHQS 12 : Tolerable Standard - Thermal Insulation.
6.2.2 No defects on the Tolerable Standard were recorded against the HHP housing stock.
6.3 HOUSING REPAIR
6.3.1 The current repair condition of the housing stock was measured both overall and within the
primary and secondary building element structures of the Scottish Housing Quality Standard.
6.3.2 SHQS element references 13 - 30 (18 Elements) measure repair performance within the
Standard. Repair assessment is sub-divided between primary and secondary building
elements:
SHQS PRIMARY REPAIR ELEMENTS -
SHQS 13 : Wall Structure
SHQS 14 : Internal Floor Structure
SHQS 15 : Foundations
SHQS 16 : Roof Structure
SHQS SECONDARY REPAIR ELEMENTS -
SHQS 17 : Principal Roof Covering
SHQS 18 : Chimney Stacks
SHQS 19 : Flashings
SHQS 20 : Rainwater Goods
SHQS 21 : External Wall Finish
SHQS 22 : Access Decks/Galleries/Balustrades
SHQS 23 : Common Access Stairs/Landings
SHQS 24 : Dwelling Balconies/Verandas
SHQS 25 : Attached Dwelling Garages
SHQS 26 : Individual Dwelling Stairs
SHQS 27 : Damp Proof Course
HOUSE CONDITION SURVEY 2013 REPORT OF SURVEY
D a v i d A d a m s o n & P a r t n e r s L t d . | 26 P a g e
SHQS 28 : Dwelling Windows/Doors
SHQS 29 : Common Windows/Rooflights
SHQS 30 : Underground Drainage
6.3.3 Disrepair measures are typically made on a surface area or linear basis and re-expressed as
a percentage repair defect of the total element. The repair cut-off for failure of the SHQS for
both primary and secondary elements is 20%. To fail on primary element disrepair one or
more of the primary elements must be defective. To fail on secondary element disrepair two
or more of the secondary elements must be defective.
6.3.4 Patterns of disrepair within the housing stock are illustrated on an elemental basis in Tables 6
- 9. The housing stock is currently in good condition with no major backlog repair
programmes identified by the survey.

6.3.5 Over the 18 building elements assessed for repair performance within the SHQS, 17
elements achieve total compliance across the housing stock including all primary building
components. Element failure within the SHQS is related to windows and doors, recorded in
8 dwellings only.
Overall this element (SHQS 28) was recorded as a single secondary repair defect not
resulting in SHQS non-compliance. No dwellings were assessed as failing the SHQS
primary or secondary element repair requirements.
6.4 AMENITIES AND FACILITIES
6.4.1 To comply with the SHQS on modern amenities and facilities, kitchen and bathroom
amenities must be in good condition. Additionally, kitchens must offer safe working
arrangements, adequate electrical sockets and adequate food storage space. For kitchen
and bathroom condition the disrepair threshold is 25%. To achieve a safe working kitchen
arrangement the kitchen must not present a safety hazard to the occupants in 4 respects:
1. The kitchen sink and cooker must not be adjacent to each other with a recommended 300mm of worktop space between the cooker and sink wet area.
2. The width of the kitchen should allow two people to pass each other easily (interpreted here as having a minimum of 1.2m clear passing space).
3. Occupants should be able to access storage cupboards and all appliances safely.
4. There must be sufficient space around the cooker to permit safe use. Adequate electrical provision requires a minimum of 6 x 13amp electrical wall mounted
power sockets (including spurred outlets for appliances), and the kitchen must offer a
minimum of 1m3 food storage space in or immediately adjacent to the kitchen.
6.4.2 Overall, SHQS modern facility and amenity requirements comprise 5 elements and 7 sub-
elements as follows:
SHQS 36A : Bathroom Condition – WHB and related fittings.
SHQS 36B : Bathroom Condition – Bath/Shower and related fittings.
SHQS 36C : Bathroom Condition – Main WC and related fittings.
SHQS 36D : Bathroom Condition – Hot and Cold Water Supply.
SHQS 37A : Kitchen Condition – Sink and Related Fittings.
SHQS 37B : Kitchen Condition – Storage Cabinets and Worktops.

6.4.5 Kitchen and bathroom repair conditions are good with only 3 dwellings (0.1%) registering
failure on SHQS 36 or SHQS 37. Amenity repair conditions are symptomatic of occupancy
wear and tear rather than underlying condition issues. The addresses of dwellings requiring
SHQS amenity repairs are listed at Appendix F. 190 dwellings (8.5%) are non-compliant
with SHQS 38 (Safe Kitchen Working Arrangements) although 80 of these dwellings have
been exempted by surveyors due to technical and/or disproportionate cost reasons.
Overall, 110 dwellings (4.9%) are estimated as non-compliant with SHQS 38. Kitchen
electrical provision is good - 2,198 dwellings (98.0%) comply with SHQS 39; the remaining
44 dwellings (2.0%) are non-compliant. 43 dwellings (1.9%) fail SHQS 40 - food storage
requirements although kitchen storage exemptions were indicated by surveyors in 19 non-
compliant dwellings.
6.4.6 Variations in SHQS amenity performance are evident across the housing stock reflecting
higher rates of non-compliance in the 1960’s/1970’s housing stock, in the former TCTNH
housing and in the housing stock transferred from CNES. Geographically highest rates of
non-compliance are recorded in Letting Areas - 2B (Heath Park - Crowlista), 5C (Northton -
Leverburgh), 6C (Bayhead) and 6D (Carinish - Clachan)

6.5 HEALTH, SAFETY AND SECURITY
6.5.1 To comply with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard dwellings must be healthy, safe and
secure. For health purposes dwellings should be free from internal lead pipework, should
be provided with mechanical ventilation where this is required to tackle persistent problems
of condensation, and should have adequate insulation against external noise. For dwellings
to be safe they should offer safe gas and electrical systems and have fitted smoke
detectors. Where common access is present this should be in good and safe order and be
provided with adequate lighting. Security arrangements within the SHQS require secure
front and rear access doors to all dwellings and in common areas require front door entry
system provision. Common access doors should be in good and secure condition including
those to enclosed rear common areas where appropriate.
6.5.2 Overall SHQS health, safety and security requirements comprise 15 elements as follows:
SHQS 41 : Lead free internal pipework.
SHQS 42 : Mechanical ventilation - kitchen and bathroom
SHQS 43 : External noise insulation
SHQS 44 : Safe smoke alarms/detectors
SHQS 45 : Safe electrical system

6.6 ENERGY EFFICIENCY
6.6.1 For dwellings to offer satisfactory energy efficiency within SHQS guidelines they must
possess effective insulation, efficient heating and must achieve a minimum NHER rating of 5
(or SAP rating equivalent based on fuel type). Effective insulation is measured as cavity
insulation where feasible and appropriate, loft insulation to minimum depth of 100 mm where
appropriate and insulation of hot water tanks and pipes. Efficient heating is regarded as a
full house central heating system with an acceptable energy efficiency rating.
6.6.2 Energy efficiency performance within the SHQS is measured against 5 elements and 2 sub-
elements:

6.6.4 A key issue on energy performance within the HHP housing stock relates to the ability to
achieve SHQS target energy efficiency ratings. 38 dwellings (1.7%) are non-compliant
against SAP rating targets. A further 304 dwellings (13.6%) also fail these targets but have
been exempted by HHP on the grounds of uneconomic cost. These properties are
electrically heated with no access to mains gas supply.
6.6.5 The average SAP rating for HHP property is 64. This compares with an overall average for
RSL housing in Scotland of 67 and a Scotland-wide all tenure average of 62 (Scottish
Housing Condition Survey - Key Findings 2010).
6.6.6 Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s) were introduced to promote improvements to the
energy efficiency of buildings. As part of this initiative, dwellings are given an energy
efficiency rating (EER) on a scale from ‘A’ to ‘G’ with ‘A’ being the most and ‘G’ being the
least energy efficient.
Band A : Sap Rating 92-100
Band B : Sap Rating 81-91
Band C : Sap Rating 69 - 80
Band D : Sap Rating 55 - 68
Band E : Sap Rating 39 - 54
Band F : Sap Rating 21 - 38
Band G : Sap Rating 1 - 20
RdSAP energy information was collected during the house condition survey programme and
has been used to generate energy efficiency ratings for the HHP housing stock. Energy
efficiency rating distributions are illustrated in Table 15 including comparison with Scottish
data for social landlords available from 2010.

345 dwellings (15.4%) fall into the lower EER bandings (Bands ‘E’ and ‘F’). Not surprisingly
the majority of these dwellings are electrically heated, and off the mains gas network.
6.7 OVERALL SHQS PERFORMANCE
6.7.1 Overall, 1,900 dwellings (including abeyances and exemptions) comply with the
requirements of the SHQS, representing 84.7% of HHP housing stock. The remaining 342
dwellings (15.3%) are non-compliant with the standard. Rates of compliance at 84.7% are
above the Scottish average for stock transfer RSL’s as published by the Housing Regulator
and also significantly above the independent estimate of 47% RSL compliance in Scotland
as published in the Scottish Continuous House Condition Survey.

7.0 LIFE CYCLE PROJECTIONS 2013/14 - 2042/43
7.1 Life cycle element replacement projections have been completed across the housing stock
over the 30 year planning period 2013/14 - 2042/43. Element replacement projections have
been completed by surveyor assessment on site taking cognisance of several factors
including - element age and condition, material composition and industry guidelines, the
quality of original construction, underlying maintenance regimes and site variation including
location and exposure. Surveyor assessments and second cycle renewals within the 30
year period have drawn upon two additional information sources, the first comprising
Scottish Government Guidelines on element life cycles; the second related to life cycles
applied by HHP within their component accounting framework. Copies of these sources are
attached at Appendix C.
7.2 Life cycle element replacement projections have been completed annually over the 30 year
planning period and are contained in Appendix H. Activity patterns are summarised over 5
yearly planning periods in Table 19. Early period programmes are dominated by window
and access door replacement, curtilage boundaries and by works to internal amenities and
services.

7.4 Average gross five yearly spend across the 30 year period is estimated at £18.641M.
Expenditure peaks between years 16-25 rising from a projected spend of £14.925M in years
1-5 to £25.543M in years 16-20. Later period spend figures are influenced by significant
projected works to external building fabric and also by the emergence of post-2003 new
build within the investment equation.

8.0 SUMMARY OF INVESTMENT COSTS
8.1 Life cycle replacement cost projections have been discussed in Section 7 of the report.
These present only one, but the major component, of total investment required within the
housing stock. Additional components of expenditure considered within the study have
included:
SHQS improvements.
Catch-up repairs.
8.2 Excluding works which will be completed within the life cycle renewal programme repairs
and improvements to address non-compliance within the SHQS need to be considered and
programmed for completion by 2015 (years 1 - 2 of the planning period). Minimum works to
achieve SHQS compliance are estimated at £829,085 net or £1.204M gross. Additional
SHQS compliance works incorporated within life cycle renewal programmes include kitchen,
bathroom and heating system renewal. Catch-up repairs within the housing stock remain
insignificant with no repair failures identified within the SHQS. Costs to address catch-up
repairs are estimated at £0.894M net or £1.299M gross. This represents an average gross
cost of £579 per dwelling. Given the minor nature and scattered pattern of catch-up repair,
no specific financial allowance is recommended with such repairs capable of being
addressed through on-going revenue maintenance programmes (responsive, cyclical and
voids maintenance).
8.3 Including SHQS improvement costs total 30 year investment within the housing stock is
estimated at £113.050M gross.

9.0 TENANT CIRCUMSTANCES AND FUEL POVERTY
9.1 As part of the house condition programme it was agreed that a short interview would be
conducted with the tenant households resident in surveyed properties. Interviews were
conducted face-to-face by the house condition survey surveyors. Tenant response to the
interview programme was high with interviews completed in 532 of the 578 properties
surveyed. This represents a 92% interview response rate with completed interviews
representing 23.7% of the tenant population. Two areas of information were addressed with
tenants including:
a) The demographic and socio-economic characteristics of tenant households. b) Fuel poverty including attitudes to and use of existing home heating.
9.2 TENANT HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS
9.2.1 The Hebridean Housing Partnership services 2,242 tenant households and a tenant
population of 4,400 persons.
9.2.2 Tenant households are predominantly small in size and exhibit an ageing demographic
profile. Average household size is estimated at 1.96 persons reflected in a household size
distribution containing 1,090 one person households (48.6%) and a further 584 two person
households (26.1%). Demographically, only 76 households (3.4%) have a head of
household aged under 25 years, 931 heads of household (41.5%) are aged 55 years or
over. Levels of dependency within the tenant population are high. 2,526 persons (57.4%)
are aged 16 - 60 years (economically active) however 949 persons (21.6%) are aged under
16 years and 925 persons (21.0%) are aged 60 years or over.

9.2.5 High levels of economic inactivity are reflected in the economic circumstances of
households with regard to household income and benefit receipt. Average net household
income is estimated at £14,327 per household - under one half of the current UK average of
£33,000. Households within the UK are currently defined as ‘Low Income’ if they receive
60% or less of the median UK household income. By this definition 589 tenant households
(26.3%) are on low incomes. 1,277 tenant households (57.0%) are in receipt of means
tested and/or disability related benefits and can be regarded as economically vulnerable.

9.3 FUEL POVERTY
9.3.1 Fuel poverty is dependent upon two factors:
a) Household circumstances (income) and ability to pay for domestic energy. b) The cost of domestic energy as reflected in underlying fuel tariffs and the energy
efficiency of individual properties.
9.3.2 Fuel poverty calculation within this report has been based on current definitions of fuel
poverty within the UK, although these definitions are currently under review. Households are
regarded as being in fuel poverty if they spend in excess of 10% of annual income on
domestic fuel; and as being in extreme fuel poverty if they spend in excess of 20% of annual
income on domestic fuel.
9.3.3 Two models of fuel poverty have been calculated using ‘Full Income’ data. This approach
deducts housing related benefits from household income prior to fuel poverty calculation.
Income data has been derived directly from tenants together with information on benefit
receipt. The two model approaches have involved:
a) Model 1 - SAP based approach. This model uses theoretical annual running costs generated by the RdSAP energy system. While providing a useful indicator, running costs and therefore fuel poverty will be under-estimated by this approach for a number of reasons. These include:
Use of a theoretical model based on a specified temperature regime and average
household use which may not fully reflect local climatic circumstances or household
behaviour.
The calculation of running costs based on ambient temperatures with no allowance
for wind variation factors.
The calculation of running costs based on heating, lighting and hot water but
excluding appliance use.
Operation of the SAP based model does however ensure compatibility with fuel poverty outputs from the national Scottish Housing Condition Survey Programme.
b) Model 2 - Tenant Cost Approach. This model uses information on annual fuel
bills provided by tenants during the course of the survey. No confirmation

through actual examination of fuel bills was attempted during the course of the survey with the resultant information dependent upon the knowledge, accuracy and honesty of the tenant.
9.3.4 FUEL POVERTY SAP BASED APPROACH. Using a SAP based approach, 751 tenant
households (33.5%) spend in excess of 10% of annual income on fuel and are in fuel
poverty; 116 tenant households (5.2%) spend in excess of 20% of annual income on fuel
and are in extreme fuel poverty. These figures compare with 28.9% of households
nationally in fuel poverty, and 7.8% in extreme fuel poverty (Scottish House Condition
Survey 2011).
As might be expected fuel poverty impacts most strongly on economically vulnerable and
low income households - 65.7% of low income households are in fuel poverty as are 48.9%
of economically vulnerable households. Demographically fuel poverty increases with
increasing age - 56.3% of households with a head of household aged 65 years and over are
in fuel poverty as are 65.7% of single person elderly households.

Fuel poverty is strongly income driven although energy efficiency differentials are also
apparent. The average income of households in fuel poverty is estimated at £6,285
compared to £14,327 for all tenant households and £18,380 for households not in fuel
poverty. The strength of this income differential and the underlying economic characteristics

of tenant households may prove restrictive in the development of strategies to address fuel
poverty. Dwellings occupied by households in fuel poverty exhibit lower energy levels
although differentials are less marked than for income. Average SAP ratings for dwellings
occupied by the fuel poor are 59 compared to 65 for dwellings occupied by households not
in fuel poverty.

9.3.5 FUEL POVERTY - TENANT COST APPROACH. As an alternative to theoretical SAP
based approaches to fuel poverty tenants were asked to indicate their annual expenditure
on electricity, gas and other fuels. While no confirmation of tenant data was made through
examination of actual fuel bills, such data should nevertheless provide a more accurate

guide to actual annual costs incurred by tenants. Average annual energy costs for heat,
light and hot water of £614 were generated by the RdSAP model. Annual energy costs
indicated by tenants across all fuels and all areas of usage are significantly higher at £1,551
per annum. The input of this figure dramatically alters fuel poverty estimates. Using this
measure, 1,368 tenant households (61.0%) are in fuel poverty; 493 tenant households
(22.0%) are in extreme fuel poverty.
FIGURE 13 : FUEL POVERTY - TENANT COST APPROACH
Patterns of fuel poverty remain similar to those generated under the RdSAP model
impacting most strongly on economically vulnerable and low income households and on the
elderly. Levels of extreme fuel poverty increase significantly under the tenant cost approach
(22.0%). Extreme fuel poverty impacts more broadly across the demographic spectrum

9.4 TENANT HOUSEHOLDS - FUEL PAYMENTS AND FUEL USE
9.4.1 In addition to annual fuel costs tenants were asked about their methods of paying for fuel
(predominantly electricity) and their attitudes to their current heating.
9.4.2 Households pay different prices for home energy, with the best tariffs for gas and electricity
available for customers who shop around for on-line tariffs and pay by direct debit. Such
tariffs are often out of reach for some households and particularly low-income ones.
Households off the gas grid also face difficulties. Payment methods across the tenant
population indicate a predominance of the highest tariffs - 1,368 tenant households (61.0%)
use power cards, 389 tenant households (17.4%) are on budget accounts and 180 tenant
households (8.0%) use fuel direct.
9.4.3 Tenants were asked how easy or difficult it was to meet the cost of heating their home to a
comfortable level in Winter and what level of heating they could comfortably achieve. Only
211 households (9.4%) found it quite easy to meet winter heating costs, 920 households
(41.1%) could just afford it. 1,109 tenant households (49.5%) experience difficulty in
meeting winter heating costs. Furthermore, of those households finding winter fuel bills
affordable (1,131 households) only 599 households (53.0%) were able to heat all rooms.
499 households (44.1%) were only able to heat main rooms and 33 households (2.9%) were
only able to heat one room. Among those households having difficulty meeting winter

10.1 This report has documented the main findings from a comprehensive house condition
survey of the HHP housing stock. The primary objectives of the survey were to project
forward investment needs within a life cycle planning framework for the 30 year period
2013/14 - 2042/43 and to benchmark the housing stock against the Scottish Housing Quality
Standard.
10.2 Overall, 1900 dwellings (84.7%) comply with the requirements of the SHQS, the remaining
342 dwellings (15.3%) are non-compliant. Rates of compliance at 84.7% are above the
current Scottish average for RSL housing stock. The majority of dwellings failing the SHQS
fail on amenities and in particular kitchen safe working arrangements. No SHQS failures
were recorded against the Tolerable Standard or Repair with a limited failure pattern also
recorded for Health/Safety and Security. Costs to meet the requirements of the SHQS by
2015 are estimated at £1.204M gross.
10.3 Life cycle projections indicate the need for substantial investment in the housing stock over
a 30 year planning period although current repair conditions are good. Costs to address life
cycle replacement over the 30 year planning period are estimated at £111.846M gross at an
average unit cost of £49,887. Early intervention within the housing stock is dominated by
external works to windows and access doors; curtilage works to fences and boundaries; and
internal replacement programmes for kitchens, bathrooms, heating and electrics.
10.4 An interview programme with tenant households indicates that 1,368 households (61.0%)
are in fuel poverty; 493 households (22.0%) are in extreme fuel poverty. Key issues for
tenants include energy tariffs where 61% of tenants use power card payment methods, and
heating efficiency where a significant proportion of tenants are off-gas. 361 tenant
households (16%) are very dissatisfied with their current heating.
10.5 Information from the survey programme has been provided in electronic format for upload to
the Association’s Asset Management planning systems. In support of this, sample survey
data has been cloned across the housing stock to construct a 100% housing record. While
no guarantees of 100% accuracy can be given, this data can be refined and improved over
time as additional information becomes available from in-house information sources and/or
additional survey programmes.

APPENDIX A :
INTERPRETATION OF SURVEY DATA
Information presented in this report has been based on sample survey techniques. Where samples
have been employed, data has been cloned to un-surveyed properties to populate a 100% asset
management database. While data cloning has been tightly controlled by property type and origin no
guarantee can be provided that cloned condition or attribute information is 100% correct.
While the use of a 100% cloned database negates the need to assign sampling errors other forms of
error will impact upon house condition data. These sources include in particular surveyor
transcription error during questionnaire completion and data preparation error. We are confident that
our data quality processes will limit such error to under 5%.
Survey returns from large scale house condition surveys invariably contain elements of missing data
and not applicable data. The former may be due to surveyor error or to differential access within
dwellings. The later relates to individual elements which are not present in all dwellings. Consistently
across the survey missing data represents under 2% of returns. An analysis of missing returns
indicates a random distribution with no inherent bias evident across the cloned database.

fast rules on life expectancies. They simply represent a starting benchmark for the purposes of calculation 2. The SHQS is largely based on the relative condition of components, not their projected lifecycles. This table does not
imply that certain components fail the standard when their life cycle has expired. Failure still depends on the condition of the components at that time.
3. The lifecycles have not been discussed within the SE and do not constitute a new or different policy position on SHQS. 4. These lifecycles may be reviewed over time and should not be seen as being fixed.

E2. Costs presented are net of fees, preliminaries and VAT. As agreed with HHP these have
been applied as follows:
Fees - 10%
Preliminaries - 11%
VAT - 20%
The VAT payment framework is complicated by a development agreement between HHP
and CNES following a large scale voluntary transfer of housing stock. No VAT is payable
across an agreed schedule of work to transferred dwellings over a 10 year implementation
period from September 2006 to September 2016. In line with this agreement we have
exempted ex CNES stock from VAT up to and including 2017/18. Agreed works include:
1. Bathroom Modernisation
2. Kitchen Modernisation
3. Heating Installation/Renewal
4. Window Replacement
5. Electrical Renewal
6. Fire Protection
7. CO2 Detectors
8. Roofs and Chimneys including Porches and Canopies
9. Soffits/Fascias/Barges
10. Internal/External and Common Doors
11. Door Entry Systems

HOUSE CONDITION SURVEY 2013 REPORT OF SURVEY
D a v i d A d a m s o n & P a r t n e r s L t d . A p p e n d i c e s
1. Structural Elements are excluded from the life cycles and assumed to have an infinite
life. Life cycles on main structural components lie well outside the 30 year planning
period. Large-scale structural programmes are reasonably rare. Where structural
problems are known these can be costed separately as extensive/exceptional repairs.
2. Elements not normally programmed for intervention are excluded from the cost
forecasts and are assumed to be addressed as required under responsive/voids
maintenance. Included within this are DPCs and external drainage and internal works
on finishes/joinery e.g. wall/floor/ceiling finishes and internal doors.
3. Specialist common services areas including lifts and common service mains
(water/gas/electricity) can be incorporated in discussion with the Association. Lift
installation and servicing schedules can also be used. Common service mains are
included in life cycle assessments - their inclusion will depend upon responsibility.
4. Matters of decoration are excluded from projection and are assumed to be included in
Cyclical Maintenance Programmes. These include external paint/repair programmes
and common area decoration.
E4. Cost projections exclude the following areas of potential HHP expenditure:
a) Non-Residential Related Housing Assets :
Non Residential Buildings
Garages/Garage Sites
Play Areas
Hard/Soft Landscaping
b) Exceptional/Extensive Repairs:
Non-Traditional Housing
Asbestos Removal
c) Contingent Major Repairs
Structural Contingencies
Underground Services including water supply and drainage
Un-adopted Roads/Footpaths
Radon
Flood Risk
Land Contamination
d) Aids and Adaptations
Disabled adaptations

APPENDIX G : LIMITATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
1. We have not included for any chemical testing of elements in particular to establish the
presence of the following:
Asbestos
High Alumina Cement
Chloride Content of Concrete
Ph Value of Concrete
Carbonation of Concrete.
2. The surveys were undertaken by visual inspection only and therefore we are unable to report
upon areas that were unexposed or inaccessible at the time of survey. Accordingly such
areas are assumed to be free from defect. Where deleterious materials or structural defects
were visible, these were noted with a recommendation that further investigative work be
commissioned by the Association.
3. We confirm that in light of Health and Safety Standards, roof voids were only inspected where
access could be safely gained by a fixed ladder or survey ladder.
4. Our Survey Report is designed to meet the primary requirements of the Proposal and will
accord with this fee proposal and any modification agreed with the commissioning client
during the course of the project. We cannot, however, accept liability for use of our findings
in a context different from that which was originally intended.
5. Some elements of the stock cannot easily be inspected but may incur cost within the future
30 years. Examples are underground drainage or pipework, wall ties, etc. As no visual
evidence of defect is usually available prior to failure, accurate prediction of such defects is
impossible. Accordingly we would recommend the addition of a contingency element to the
overall costs in the form of appropriate percentages so that financial provision is made for
these unknown repairs where suspected.
6. We are unable to make specific comment with regard to services, for example refuse/
hygiene disposal without specialist technical advice. On other occasions we have advised
Clients on relevant technical investigations and their findings have been incorporated in
subsequent reports.
7. Every effort has been be made to identify structural defects that are clearly visible, and
recommendations for engineering input will be made if deemed appropriate.

8. The Surveyor has undertaken a general surface inspection of those parts of the property
which are accessible; in other words visible and readily available for inspection from ground
and floor levels, without risk of causing damage to the property or injury to the surveyor. Due
care was therefore exercised throughout the Inspection regarding safety, practicality and the
constraints of being a visitor to the property (which may be occupied). Furniture, floor
coverings and other contents were not moved or lifted; and no part was forced or laid open to
make it accessible.
9. The visible services were inspected (except, in the case of flats, for drainage, lifts and
security systems), but the surveyor did not test or assess the efficiency of electrical, gas,
plumbing, heating or drainage installations, or compliance with current regulations, or the
internal condition of any chimney, boiler or other flue. Also, the surveyor does not research
the presence (or possible consequences) of contamination by any harmful substance.
10. The surveyor has regard to the apparent state of repair and condition of the property but will
not carry out a building survey nor inspect parts of the property which are covered,
unexposed or inaccessible (including roof voids and sub-floor areas). Such parts were
deemed to be in good repair and condition.
11. No special equipment (such as damp meter, binoculars, etc.) was used by the surveyors.
12. The Inspection was for the sole purpose of collecting data pursuant to the particular
requirements of the mass stock condition survey research project. Whilst due care was
exercised by the surveyors during the inspection, error may be introduced through a number
of sources. Data validation/cleaning and the Quality Plan will typically ensure data set error
of less than 2%. This level of error will not compromise the required level of confidence.
13. Information for non-surveyed properties has been cloned from surveyed properties of a
similar type and location. Post survey, cloned information has been audited against known
Association data sources for accuracy. No guarantee on the 100% accuracy of cloned data
can be provided. New build properties constructed from 2003 were excluded from the survey
programme. These properties have been included in the analysis of housing conditions on
the assumption they are in good condition and compliant with SHQS.
14. Duties of Care are applicable within the scope, extent and limitations of the physical sample
survey, costing basis, limitations previously stated and representation of the subjects as at
the date of the survey. We will additionally provide collateral warranties, if requested but only

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE CONTRACT - 6 MONTH SERVICE REVIEW
Report by Director of Operations
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 This report provides the fourth mandatory Repairs and Maintenance Contract 6 month review on performance.
SUMMARY
2.1 The Board agreed to award the Repair and Maintenance contract for the period 2011-2016 to FES FM Ltd on 25 November 2010. The contract commenced on 1 April 2011.
2.2 A requirement of the contract is to carry out regular 6 monthly reviews.
2.3 This review is review No.4.
2.4 The purpose of the 6 monthly reviews is to assess performance and address areas of concern. It is ultimately to be the leading factor as to whether the contract is extended beyond the initial 5 year term.
2.5 This report details the scoring outcome for the second 6 month review.
COMPETENCE
3.1 The legal and financial implications are detailed at paragraph 5.

COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 There are no specific financial implications to the report. Any financial issues identified
during the mobilization period will be reported to future Board Meetings.
Legal 5.2 There are no legal implications to this report.
RISK
6.1 Risks are monitored throughout the contract period and maintained on a Risk Register. This is reviewed on a regular basis and updated as necessary.
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 The Service Review is carried out across a number of criteria as set out at Appendix 1.
7.2 The main scoring has been carried out by the HHP Service Managers. The Service Managers are responsible for the contract management and delivery.
7.3 The “Open Book” audit and review of the contractor’s costs including sub contractor and supplier costs was independently carried out by Torrance Partnership on behalf of HHP. Methodology and Scoring
7.4 The methodology is governed by the contract. Each heading is split into items for assessment. Each item has success criteria which the contractor is expected to achieve. The performance against the success criteria is scored according to the pre determined bands of scoring. The scoring matrix is included at Appendix 1.
7.5 Each category is assessed based on statistical information received from the contractor and verified by HHP information and reports.
7.6 The general findings are recorded in the comments section and the verification section records how the data was assessed.
7.7 In accordance with the contract, the contractor is required to score a minimum of 80 points in each review for HHP to be satisfied that the contractor is substantially providing the service in accordance with the contract requirements.
7.8 The consequences of failing to reach the scoring thresholds are:
i) Two consecutive reviews with scoring below 80 can result in the employer terminating the contract as the contractor will be deemed to have “substantially failed to provide the service” in accordance with the contract requirements; and
ii) Two consecutive unsatisfactory reviews can revoke extensions to the 5 year contract period. The contract was originally awarded on a 5 year period with an option of two further extensions for two years each (this would essentially result in a 9 year contract period).
7.9 The two previous service reviews have scored 106 and 121.
Jackie Macleod Page 3 of 3 14/6/13
Conclusion
7.10 The scoring achieved was 113. This is a reasonable result for the second 6 month period of Year 2 of the contract. However, a number of areas can be improved upon in regards to completions, lowering average completion times, average costs and gas appointments.
7.11 The reactive completions performance has been slightly disappointing during this period. A number of response categories fell below the 95% target. However, better performance in other categories pulled the average above the 95% target. The contractor has been instructed that this performance needs to be improved to be consistently at or above the target level. Refer to Appendix 4 table 1.
7.12 The voids completions performance has been very good and remained at almost 100%. Refer to Appendix 4 table 2.
7.13 The detailed monthly payment mechanism reports are also used to monitor where the expenditure is occurring and the reports are refined each month to provide data on area spend, average costs and planned reactive spend. These costs need to be reduced to a constant level in order to deliver all works within budget. Refer to tables 1 to 3 in Appendix 6.
7.14 If the average costs of reactive repairs and voids can be reduced and maintained then the balance of Reactive v Planned will narrow. Planned maintenance should be the prominent spend in order to lessen the burden of reactive repairs. Refer to table 5 Appendix 6.
7.15 Right First Time completions need to increase in order to drive down costs and can be achieved by better repairs diagnosis with agreed costs, improved appointments, contractor maintaining better levels of stock and improved communication.
7.16 Overall performance has been steady but there is scope for improvement in a number of areas which both HHP officers and FES staff will continue to strive for.

RESPONSE REPAIRS AND PLANNED MAINTENANCE UPDATE
Report by Director of Operations
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 This report provides an update on planned and cyclical maintenance for 2013/14 and identifies some key issues in the management of these.
SUMMARY
2.1 The Board approved the budget on 20 February 2013 for planned and responsive works.
2.2 This report provides details of the planned works for 2013/14 and progress to date. The report also highlights pressures facing both the response and planned maintenance budgets.
2.3 Aligning response repair delivery with the budget available has been challenging and there was a significant overspend in 2012/13. Work is ongoing to address this during 2013/14.
COMPETENCE
3.1 The legal, financial or other constraints to any recommendation in this report are contained in paragraph 5.
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 It is recommended that this report be noted.
Background Papers None
Writer of Report Angus E MacNeil Tel: 0300 123 0773
Jackie Macleod Page 2 of 5 14/6/13
COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 The Business Plan includes an allowance per annum for planned and responsive works.
For 2013/14 these are: Reactive Planned
RSL £399 Non RSL £528 RSL £258 Non RSL £216 The total budget approved for the year is: Response Repairs £1,176,454 (increase of £82k); and Planned Maintenance £549,350 (increase of £9k)
Legal 5.2 HHP have statutory responsibilities for the repair and maintenance of properties.
RISK
6.1 There has been constant pressure on the response and planned maintenance budgets for the last few years. Budgets are closely monitored. However, response repairs and voids by their nature are reactive and include statutory duties which must be complied with. Planned maintenance works are more controllable but the scale of works identified has significantly exceeded the budgetary provision.
REPORT DETAILS
7.1 The report covers 2 elements:
Planned maintenance programme and progress; and
Response repairs.
Planned Maintenance 2013/14
7.2 The planned maintenance programme is cyclical and split into two types
Planned programme 5 year cycle; and
Annual cyclical works.
7.3 The 5 year cycle consists of a programme which splits the stock into a 5 year programme. This programme was set up in 2010/11 and is now in year 4. Every year a fifth of the stock is included on the programme, approximately 460 properties per annum.
The 5 year cyclical work typically consist of:
Painterwork;
Fencing ;
Jackie Macleod Page 3 of 5 14/6/13
Gutter cleaning;
Lubrication of windows and doors;
Bin shelters;
Drainage;
Gates;
Drying areas;
Misc – roofing/ roof drainage/ chimney repairs/ fascias/ soffits/ bargeboards;
Garage doors;
Store doors;
Footpaths; and
Flue cleaning – introduced this year. This work has historically been viewed as a tenant responsibility but HHP have statutory responsibilities on Health and Safety and to maintain services.
7.4 The annual cyclical works include:
Gas servicing – 1 service every year;
Air Source heating servicing – 1 service every year;
Oil heating servicing - 1 service every year;
Door entry servicing - 1 service every year;
Communal lighting servicing - 2 services every year;
Stair lift servicing - 1 service every year;
Fire detection system servicing to common areas and Houses of Multiple Occupation - 4 services every year;
Portable appliance testing - 1 service every year; and
TV/ Satellite system servicing - 1 service every year.
7.5 All the above works are carried out by FES in accordance with pre determined rates on the Reactive and Planned Maintenance Contract.
Planned 5 Year Programme
7.6 An investigation is carried out of the properties included in that years programme and the required works are identified and costed. These works have then been prioritised as follows:
Jackie Macleod Page 4 of 5 14/6/13
i) Health, safety and security;
ii) Fabric of the building (maintained in wind and watertight condition);
iii) Mandatory servicing; and
iv) Good practice (lubricating windows/ doors, flues are cleaned, gutter cleaning).
7.7 The works identified in the last two years have been significantly in excess of the budget available. A breakdown is provided below.
2012/13 2013/14
Annual Cyclical and 5 Year Programmes
Annual Servicing £85,678 £68,206
Store Doors/Garage Doors
£9,412 £18,961
Gates £39,907 £50,809
Fencing £198,198 £234,562
Painterwork £437,995 £707,641
Timber Repairs £17,763 £84,926
Pavements £31,212 £91,439
Drainage £1,553 £19,055
Cleaning Gutters £14,026 £18,045
Lubricating Windows/Doors
£8,063 £14,297
Drying Areas £24,441 £43,110
Cleaning Flues £4,927
Total Survey Costs £868,249 £1,355,976
Budget £540,000 £549,000
7.8 Inevitably this means that some works have to be omitted. Typically works omitted are:
i) painting;
ii) fencing; and
ii) gates.
7.9 Most of this work cannot be accommodated within the Investment programme as there are separate pressures relating to the SHQS deadline in 2015 which have to be addressed first and there are insufficient resources within the programme.
Jackie Macleod Page 5 of 5 14/6/13
7.10 The draft Stock Condition reports that we do not have any failures on properties falling below Tolerable Standard or having any Primary or Secondary failures on building elements. This is a positive result and reflects the approach being taken to planned maintenance. However it is a concern that the works identified are significantly higher that the monies available and this needs to be closely monitored to ensure stock continues to be adequately maintained.
Response Repairs (incl Voids)
7.11 Reactive repairs and voids are demand led and reactive by nature. Several factors, over which there is no or limited control can influence spend, such as weather events, insurance related works and rechargeable damage caused wilfully during tenancies.
7.12 There a number of mitigating measures which are being taken by HHP and FES to control spend. These include close monitoring of works being issued; ensuring works issued are prescriptive and accurate; ensuring works are assigned the correct schedule of rates; that compensation events are limited and authorised in advance; planning the works more efficiently and ensuring works are carried out right first time.
7.13 In addition the standard of service can be amended by restricting the types of work carried out or by increasing the time period for these being carried out. These options are being considered and will be reported to Board as appropriate.
7.14 Works continue to be monitored throughout the year to identify pressures and to provide an opportunity for corrective action to be taken.
Conclusion
7.15 There requires to be ongoing close monitoring of repair and maintenance services. There continues to be a challenge in aligning the quality and level of service with the budget available.
7.16 There is a relationship between planned and response repairs and it would be expected that planned programmes should reduce response repairs. This would obviously be further assisted by investment programmes upgrading or replacing various building components. However, if planned maintenance is inadequate then this will impact on responsive works. Furthermore, as components are only replaced at the end of their lifecycle there is a limit as to how far responsive spend can be reduced. There will inevitably be failures as components age. There is also a relationship between the quality of components and replacement parts.
7.17 As works such as painterwork and fencing/gate replacements are omitted from the Planned Maintenance programmes the condition of these elements will deteriorate and require attention. This will also have an additional impact on the aesthetic appearance of the stock. The second 5 year cycle should allow more of the works previously omitted to be carried out albeit that annual servicing requirements are increasing and placing demand on resources.
7.18 These issues will be expanded on in future Board reports and information will also be brought forward on the trends during the year and action the Board may wish to consider.

HOUSING ALLOCATIONS - ANNUAL REPORT 2012/13
Report by Director of Operations
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 This report provides statistical information on housing allocations during 2012/13 and outlines a number of the key issues surrounding supply and demand for housing.
SUMMARY
2.1 The Improvement Plan agreed with the Scottish Housing Regulator committed to providing an annual report to Committee setting out information on supply and demand for housing. This is the fourth such report and this will develop over time to indicate trends and will help to inform decisions on the requirement for, and location of, new supply.
2.2 The process of developing the annual reports has highlighted weaknesses in the quality and organization of our data. Some of these have been addressed while others are being dealt with during the implementation of the new Allocation Policy. Some of the commentary in the report reflects these weaknesses.
2.3 This report is also an important part of our monitoring of equality in terms of access to housing.
2.4 The level of demand for housing is an important issue for the business and one which needs to be closely monitored. The demand as demonstrated by waiting lists is not high particularly outwith the Stornoway area. This information should inform strategic planning and the future shape of the development programme.
COMPETENCE
3.1 There are no financial implications to the report.
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 It is recommended that:
a) The report is noted; and
b) The quotas for allocating properties in Stornoway area be set at 50% homeless nominations, 20% transfer applicants and 30% for other waiting list applicants.
Jackie Macleod Page 2 of 4 14/6/13
COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 Increasing the proportion of transfers in Stornoway would increase the number of voids
and put more pressure on void repair budgets. This will be contained within existing budgets.
Legal 5.2 There are no specific legal implications in the report.
RISK
6.1 The weaknesses in the quality and robustness of data highlighted in the report presents a risk in terms of forward planning and effective performance management.
REPORT DETAILS
HOUSING DEMANDS
7.1 Appendix 1 provides information on the number of applicants on waiting lists at 21 May 2013. This data is for first choice areas only. Appendix 1 also shows a breakdown of all applicants including transfers and Priority Homeless.
7.2 The total number of applicants on the waiting list as at 21 May 2013 is 759. Of these 609 are waiting applicants and 151 are transfers The waiting list in the 2011/12 report was 773.
7.3 The number of applications received during 2012/13 was 415 and the average time taken to process these applications was 2 days.
7.4 Appendix 2 provides information on applications by household type.
7.5 52% of applicants are single people and 26% are single people aged 26-59. 25% of applicants are households with children. In the 2011/12 report the figures were 50% of applicants who were single, 28% were single people aged 26-59 and 21% applicants were households with children.
7.6 Appendix 3 shows that the largest applicant group is white Scottish at 77% with 12% of applicants being of other white British origin. White Irish and other white backgrounds make up 5%. 4% did not provide information.
7.7 Appendix 4 provides information on applications cancelled during the year and the reasons for cancellation. 240 applications were cancelled during the year. The primary reason for applications being cancelled was due to non-return of review forms. The rolling review process is important in keeping data live and up to date.
7.8 Appendix 5 shows that the largest demand by a considerable distance is for the Stornoway area with 58% of applicants recording this as their first choice area. The next largest areas of demand are Eoligarry/Scallery(6%), Back/Tong(5%), Tarbert (5%), and Creagorry (5%).
Jackie Macleod Page 3 of 4 14/6/13
SUSPENSIONS
8.1 In some circumstances applicants will be suspended from the waiting list. Appendix 6 provides information on the number of applicants suspended and the reasons for these suspensions. Suspended applicants are reviewed every month to ensure that the suspension is still relevant. There are currently 16 applications suspended as shown in the Appendix, 8 are suspended because of former tenant arrears, 6 for current tenant arrears and 2 because of conduct issues.
HOUSING SUPPLY
9.1 The number of properties becoming available for let during 2012/13 is shown in Appendices 7 and 8. In total 199 (excluding new build) were re-let during 2012/13. Appendix 7 provides information on supply by area while Appendix 8 details supply by size property.
9.2 Appendix 7 shows that 71 lets (35.68%) were in the Stornoway area with 12 lets (6.03%) in Balivanich and 21 lets (10.55%) in Lochboisdale. In the 2011/12 report the figures were 56 lets (39.49% were in the Stornoway area, 14 lets (8.91%) in Balivanich and 21 lets (13.37%) in Lochboisdale.
9.3 Appendix 8 shows that 83 lets (42%) were of 1 bedroom properties and 56 lets (28%) of 2 bedroom properties. Only 2% of lets were of 4 or more bedrooms. In the 2011/12 report the figures were 62 lets (39%) were of 1 bedroom properties and 47 lets (29%) of 2 bedroom properties.
9.4 Appendices 9 and 10 provide information on the applicants housed during the year by household type and by ethnic origin. Appendix 9 shows that 15.6% of lets were to couples with children, 12.6% were to couples, 17.1% were to single parents and 44% were to single people. These figures are in line with the proportion of households on the waiting list.
9.5 Appendix 10 shows that 76.3% of lets were to white Scottish applicants and 19.6% to other white groups. We do not have information on 3% of allocations. 0.5% of allocations are recorded as being to non-white groups. Again this is broadly in line with the make-up of waiting lists.
PRIORITY HOMELESS APPLICANTS
10.1 In total 61 priority homeless applicants were housed during 2012/13. Of these 39 (excluding new build) were housed in the Stornoway area. This is 49% of lets in Stornoway and is in line with the quota previously agreed by Committee. It was agreed that this quota would be reviewed annually or as requested by the Comhairle. It is proposed that the quota continue at 50% of re-lets in the Stornoway area. There has been no request by the Comhairle to amend the current quota.
QUOTAS FOR ALLOCATING HOUSES
11.1 Within the Stornoway area, houses will continue to be allocated on a one to one basis between homeless applicants and mainstream/transfer applicants.
Jackie Macleod Page 4 of 4 14/6/13
11.2 Due to the introduction of Bedroom Tax there are now more tenants wanting to downsize. To accommodate this increased demand and to provide further assistance to those affected by the Bedroom Tax, it is proposed to increase the transfer quota for Stornoway to 20%.
CONCLUSION
12.1 The information in this report allows trends and changes in demand and supply to be tracked. It also provides a base from which an assessment can begin to be made as to whether the allocation policy is meeting any objectives set and whether those most in housing need are being housed.
12.2 There are some key points to note. The supply of vacancies is primarily of 1 and 2 bedrooms which relates well to the fact that nearly 50% of the waiting list is single people.
12.3 The percentage of lets made by ethnic group is in line with the composition of the waiting list although the numbers are small.
12.4 Demand against supply needs to be closely monitored. On a simplistic level there are 609 applicants on waiting lists excluding transfer applicants. It can be assumed that a significant proportion of these will not be actively seeking housing at present. When this is compared to the supply of housing at an average of approximately 200 per annum the level of demand per vacancy is not high. This practice is consistent with previous years and is an important issue in business terms.

BOARD 26 June 2013
INVESTMENT PROGRAMME 2013/14
Report by Director of Operations
PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 To present to the Board an update on the 2013/14 Investment Programme.
SUMMARY
2.1 The Investment Programme for 2011/12 to 2015/16 was agreed by the Board in November 2010. A procurement exercise was subsequently carried out to establish a Framework Agreement to deliver the 4 year programme.
2.2 The Investment Programme for 2013/14 was agreed by Board on 20 February 2013 subject to budgets being approved.
2.3 The priority of works has been compiled using the data from the previous stock condition survey.
COMPETENCE
3.1 The financial and legal implications are detailed at paragraph 5.
RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 It is recommended that:
a) Progress with the Investment Programme as at Appendices 1 and 2 be noted; and
b) The use of Dimplex Quantum Heating be approved for use at Murray Place as set out in paragraphs 8.10 to 8.12.

COMPETENCE
Financial 5.1 The programme has been prepared as part of a 4 year budget programme. 2013/14 is the
third year of the programme. 5.2 The budget for 2013/14 has been set at £3.776m. 5.3 The carry forward from 2012/13 will form part of recommendation of a separate report
being presented to Board on this agenda. 5.4 The profile of spend for 2013/14 based on projected framework costs is:
Legal 5.5 There are no legal implications to this report.
RISK
6.1 The framework contract continues to deliver efficiency savings on the per unit cost which is anticipated to continue. The risk of the prices increasing during the year is considered low. However the loss of UBC from the framework has had an adverse impact by lessening competition but to a limited extent.
REPORT DETAILS
LVST Stock and Former RSL
7.1 The Investment Programme has been planned to factor in the following:
a) Scottish Housing Quality Standard – the standard covers a number of different types of criteria. The criteria of most importance to HHP and which presents the biggest challenge is achieving the Energy Efficiency standard;
b) Stock Transfer Commitments – a number of promises were made to tenants at transfer such as choice of kitchens, decoration, floor coverings. Similar promises were given for bathrooms and external lighting which will also form part of the SHQS criteria for safety and security;
c) Business Plan Targets - a number of different commitments are given in the Business Plan to achieve delivery of specified number of windows, kitchens, heating and bathrooms, within years 1 to 5 and 6 to 10 from the date of transfer; and

Jackie Macleod Page 3 of 5 14/6/13
d) Stock Condition Survey – the data from the most recent Stock Condition Survey is currently being analysed and verified. Once complete the resulting data will be used to inform the investment programme.
7.2 A more detailed copy of the programme is available for Board Members upon request. The detailed programme contains a scheme by scheme programme over the 4 years from 2011 - 2015. This has previously been approved and is available in booklet form split by scheme into Council Wards. These booklets have also previously been circulated to Board members, tenants and Councillors.
PROCUREMENT/PROGRESS OF THE 2013/14 PROGRAMME
8.1 The procurement/ works programme is attached as Appendix 1.
8.2 The only outstanding lots to be tendered are electrical works. This will be tendered in June 2013 using data from the new Stock Condition Survey. This work consists of replacement of carbon monoxide, smoke detectors and installation of external security lights.
8.3 During the framework period the contractors are not permitted to increase any price (with the exception of a contractual provision for an increase to reflect RPI increase). Each contractor must decide if he wishes to offer a “discounted” rate on his original tender rates.
8.4 The Framework contract is split into lots. The lots are divided into 2 areas: Successful contractor Lewis & Harris Window and doors Lot 1 Alex Murray Construction
Heating Lot 2 Alex Murray Construction Bathroom/showers Lot 3 Alex Murray Construction Kitchens Lot 4 O’Mac Construction Roofing/ roughcasting Lot 5 Alex Murray Construction Electrical works Lot 6 to be tendered
Uists & Barra Window and doors Lot 7 no works 2013/14
Heating Lot 8 Alex Murray Construction Bathroom/showers Lot 9 no works 2013/14 Kitchens Lot 10 Alex Murray Construction Roofing/ roughcasting Lot 11 no works 2013/14 Electrical works Lot 12 to be tendered
8.5 Lots 7, 9 and 11 will not apply during this year as there are no works programmed within
the area. 8.6 Appendix 1 shows progress to date. A number of lots have either commenced on site or
are awaiting survey data from the contractors. However, it can be seen that the lots are programmed for completion comfortably within the financial year.
8.7 Lot 1 – previously the Board approved the bringing forward of windows in Plasterfield (20
units) and Parkend (20 units) from the 2013/14 programme to the 2012/13 programme on 5 September 2012. These works were not fully completed within 2012/13 and residual spend has been carried forward.
Jackie Macleod Page 4 of 5 14/6/13
8.8 It was also previously approved that Perceval Road and Torquil Terrace would be brought forward into the 13/14 programme. These properties are still to be surveyed. When the surveys are completed the works will be incorporated into the financial report at Appendix 2.
8.9 Lots 2 and 8 Heating; this work will be delayed due to the timing of the Renewable Heat
Premium Payment grant application system. Applications will not be approved earlier than August and works are not permitted to commence in advance of any award. It is in the interests of HHP to delay any site start in order to maximise the opportunity of grant income to reduce unit costs and increase the level of works that can be carried out on the Investment programme.
8.10 Previously the Board approved the primary option of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) where
gas was not available. However, Murray Place flats currently have a mix of storage and convection heaters known as Total Heating with Total Control. The flats are unsuitable for gas or ASHP for the following reasons:
there is no gas supply to the blocks; there is no wet delivery system in the flats; there will be particular problems with issues with installing ASHP in the 1st floor flats; there are planning restrictions as this is a conservation area; and the tenants are elderly and the provision of pipework and radiators would be hugely
disruptive.
8.11 With this in mind we have specified an upgrade to the existing system with new Dimplex Quantum storage heaters. Quantum heaters are the latest in storage heating technology. They are more efficient and responsive, easier to operate and retain their heat throughout the day.
8.12 The installation will be far simpler and less of an upheaval to the elderly tenants within the scheme. They should see a reduction in their running costs as the new heaters and hot water cylinder are more energy efficient. A brochure providing more information on the heating is attached at Appendix 3.
8.11 Lots 6 and 12 Electrical Works; this work consists of replacement of carbon monoxide, smoke detectors and installation of external security lights. Data from the new stock condition survey will inform these works and will be tendered in June.
PILOT PROJECTS UPDATE
External Insulation to Swedish Timber Houses
9.1 It was decided to withdraw the works from the Pilot Projects until costs represented better value for money and could be sustained in the longer term.
9.2 In April 2013 SIG Energy Management (SIG) approached HHP regarding potential grant
funding for external insulation which they are able to access. 9.3 As a result of this SIG has produced a tentative proposal to externally insulate 55
properties at a cost to HHP of £2450 (excl VAT) per property. This compares to previous tender prices of approximately £20k per property.
Jackie Macleod Page 5 of 5 14/6/13
9.4 SIG have to firm up the proposal whilst making clear that there is no commitment from HHP to carry out the works. HHP has also informed SIG that there will be a procurement process required for any works.
9.5 At present there are no resources within the investment programme to progress external
insulation but this will be reviewed as part of the investment planning process.
Coomb Insulation
9.6 As a result of the successful pilot project it was agreed to specify Icythene spray foam on all future coomb insulation projects.
9.7 During February and March 2013 HHP injected Icythene insulation to 59 properties. A
further contract consisting of 56 properties is currently underway. 9.8 HHP will carry out air tightness tests on a sample of the properties once the current
contract is complete. Initial feedback from tenants is positive.
Wind Turbines
9.9 Tenders were invited for the provision of a consultancy service to HHP to prepare a business case to allow HHP to install small scale wind turbines on land in its ownership. 9.10 Campbell Dallas LLP was the lowest tender. The work has been passed to the HHP
subsidiary to progress further.
Energy Planning
9.11 A sample of HHP properties were evaluated to enable an energy strategy to be drawn up to ensure HHP meet the requirements of current and future legislation such as SHQS and the Climate Change Act.
9.12 Results have shown that concentrating on the external fabric of the houses will reduce
heat losses and improve energy efficiency. In some houses this will enable targets to be met whilst others will require heating replacement to supplement the fabric improvements.
9.13 The project validated the HHP policy of replacing solid fuel systems with air source heat pumps as significant improvements in SAP ratings are being obtained where this has taken place.
9.14 The drive towards the de-carbonisation of the electricity grid where carbon is gradually removed from the generation supply is a factor in terms of reviewing the replacement of existing electrical storage systems. In houses where heat losses can be reduced by insulation the current use of storage heaters can be justified.
9.15 Air tightness testing and thermal imaging have proved to be effective tools in evaluating the energy efficiency of HHP properties. An increase in air tightness will result in a higher SAP rating which is the main indicator in achieving future energy efficiency targets.
9.16 The study has previously been reported to Board and will be used for investment planning along with the Stock Condition Survey.

USE OF CONSULTANTS POLICY
INTRODUCTION 1.1 This policy sets out the approach that will be taken by Hebridean Housing
Partnership (‘the Partnership’ or ‘HHP’) in relation to the procurement and use of consultants, in accordance with best practice, regulatory requirements, budgetary constraints, delegated authorities, and the Partnership’s policies and procedures.
1.2 It is essential that when The Partnership spends money it does so in a way that ensures Value for Money (VFM). When the use of consultants is deemed necessary, they need to be used sparingly, appropriately and effectively. Therefore, the Partnership must ensure that consultants are only used when:
the work cannot be carried out internally, i.e. the required knowledge is not available in-house or from some other source from which the Partnership can draw;
they can bring relevant knowledge and have proven experience which will add value to the Partnership’s objectives;
staff have the knowledge and capacity to manage them effectively; and
Management demonstrates a committment to act on any outputs with clear plans on how this might be done.
PURPOSE OF POLICY 2.1 The specific objectives of this policy are to:
define the role of a consultant;
ensure the use of consultants can be justified;
determine how the Partnership will identify consultants with the necessary skills and experience;
maintain a list of approved consultants;
set out how consultants will be briefed in advance of seeking their involvement in a particular project;
explain how consultants will be selected for a particular project, using value-based assessment;
allow for the domonstration of clear audit trails and accountability;
summarise the arrangements for formalising the appointment of consultants;
give guidance on review of consultant performance; and
highlight how this policy should be used as part of HHP’s policy framework in respect of procurement.
CONTEXT 3.1 HHP’s approach to the selection and engagement of consultancy services should be
taken within the context of its overall approach to procurement with particular regard to ensuring quality and delivering value.
4
3.2 The policy takes into account the expectation that housing associations help to deliver the Scottish Government’s efficiency objectives. When using consultants, the Partnership must be able to demonstrate that they are ‘investing to save’ in the long run.
3.3 In accordance with the expectations of the Scottish Government’s Procurement Guidelines, the principle of partnering will apply. Partnering involves a high degree of co-operation between HHP and a consultant engaged, and implies a climate of trust and agreement of mutual objectives.
THE ROLE OF A CONSULTANT 4.1 A consultant is a person or body that supplies the Partnership with external
professional or technical advice or expertise, under contract, to agreed timescales and for an agreed fee.
4.2 The services provided by a consultant will be unique, infrequent and usually not available to the Partnership from its existing staff.
4.3 Consultancy services are expected to aid the Partnership in, but not limited to, the following ways:
they will provide additional skills and expertise;
they are engaged to carry out activities such as investigating problems, providing analysis or advice;
they will assist with the development of new or existing systems, structures, or capabilities; and
when an independent assessment of a particular function, situation or project is required.
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE USE OF CONSULTANTS 5.1 A consultant is never an acceptable substitution for a relatively stable, adequately
sized, and high quality management team. However, the Partnership will occasionally have the need to employ a consultant to provide a particular set of skills in order to fulfil its business objectives. To that end, the engagement of external support needs to be for defined fixed periods, with clear objectives and outcomes, and at pre-determined costs, all of which will be rigorously monitored to ensure Value for Money.
5.2 As Value for Money is a priority for the Partnership, any decision to engage in consultancy services must be backed up by a thorough business case with justifications as follows:
the reason for the need – is it concerned with the procurement of external skills/expertise, or is it to overcome a shortage of internal resource/capacity?
what the estimated costs are likely to be;
there is a clear ‘invest to save’ case which will support the expenditure that is going to be incurred in terms of the return on the costs involved;
evidence that there is no in-house expertise and/or in-house capacity available to undertake the work in the required timescales;
evidence that the problem is clearly defined and that the alternatives to the use of consultants have been considered;
5
definition of the range of the work;
timescales, milestones, and the form of the deliverables;
assurance that the solution will be a solution rather than the same problem in a different form or a recommendation for further work;
apportionment of responsibilities for data collection, etc; and
a clear plan of how the findings are likely to be actioned.
5.3 The Business Case should be prepared for review by the Executive Team, and if the need for consultancy is confirmed in principle, a Report should be prepared which seeks the Board’s approval to engage consultancy services accordingly.
5.4 There are some areas and tasks within HHP’s business environment for which the use of consultants is a requirement. These may change periodically depending on legal/regulatory requirements.
5.5 This policy will only apply where the anticipated value of fee is in excess of £5,000.
LIST OF CONSULTANTS 6.1 The Partnership will compile and review annually a list of appropriate consultants
whose services may be engaged in, but not limited to, the following areas:
Development;
Finance;
ICT;
Human Resources; and
Stock.
6.2 Links to other policies which should be read in conjunction with this policy and the above areas are defined at 13.1.
6.3 Membership of the relevant list will be open to:
consultants who have previously worked successfully with HHP;
consultants responding to periodic advertising of the opportunity to work with HHP; and
consultants who approach HHP with a view to being considered for work commissioned.
6.4 Consultants will be subject to an assessment of their suitability in accordance with the following criteria:
membership of a professional body;
competence;
past performance of working with HHP;
financial health and status;
adequacy of liability, professional indemnity and other insurance;
tax status;
organisational capacity;
current workload;
6
experience of comparable work;
the consultant’s organisational policies including Health & Safety, Equality & Diversity;
willingness to accept HHP’s values, principles and epectations;
ability to offer local service; and
references, where appropriate.
6.5 Membership of this list will be subject to approval by the Executive Team.
6.6 In order to comply with guidance on payments and benefits (Regulatory Standards of Governance and Financial Management, Scottish Housing Regulator), at the point of inclusion on any consultant list, the Partnership will seek to determine whether any individual involved in a managerial capacity with the consultancy business in question, is related to:
any member of the Board of HHP;
any member of staff of HHP;
any person who has been a member of the Board or a member of staff within a period of 12 months prior to their inclusion on the list.
6.7 Where there is a family relationship as outlined above, it will not automatically debar the consultancy business from consideration, but it will require an award of commission to be subject to the Partnership’s policies on governance and financial management in line with the Regulatory Standards of Governance and Financial Management.
EU PROCUREMENT DIRECTIVES 7.1 All housing association procurement activity is covered by EU Public Procurement
Rules; however, commissions and contracts below a certain value are exempt from the EU Procurement Directives.
7.2 Where the Directives do apply, associations must follow certain processes and procedures, involving a requirement to publish contract notices, in a prescribed format, in the Official Journal of the European Union. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the suspension or cancellation of the contract, liability to pay damages and the loss of sources of public funding. The rules apply when the relevant threshold values for various categories of contract are exceeded. These are detailed at Appendix 1.
7.3 If the professional fees for any project (or set of projects where combined arrangements for the procurement of services are being pursued) are likely to exceed the threshold EU rules for advertising the consultancy commission must be followed. These are set out in current Scottish Government guidance, including the Procurement Guide.
7.4 Responsibility for checking whether the Directives apply to the procurement of consultancy services, and for ensuring that the procedures are correctly followed, lies with the Director of Resources or Operations depending on whichever team requires the consultancy service. Throughout he/she will ensure that procedures are correctly followed where necessary.
7.5 Where the Directives apply, the requirement to advertise takes precedence; but does not affect the subsequent stages of the procurement procedures, as described in the following sections.
7
BRIEFING 8.1 When the Partnership wished to engage consultancy services, it is imperative that a
strategic brief is prepared in which the overall objectives in relation to the consultancy service are detailed.
8.2 The brief should be a clear specification from which prospective consultants can prepare a costed proposal and from which their performance can be measured. The brief should be prepared in such a way that allows competing proposals to be measured in terms of quality and price.
8.3 It is recognised that different types of consultancy services will require different strategic briefs. However, every brief must have clear objectives, deliverables and milestones, as well as an agreed end date. As a minimum, the brief should contain:
project detail, aims and objectives;
intended client group;
community consultation or tenant involvement;
functions to be accomodated, such as a link to employment initiatives, support and care intiatives;
project timetable and key milestones;
key outcomes/deliverables;
details of work already completed/work required;
reporting requirements (frequency and format);
performance standards;
detailed financial considerations, including available budget, grants, and indicative cost limits;
details of payments (linked to achievement of key milestones and final outcomes);
details of the process to be followed for procuring consultants’ services (or of consultants already appointed), including what is expected of the consultant in response to the strategic brief;
mention of the requirement to ensure that skills and knowledge are transferred to HHP staff;
Terms & Conditions (legal advice should be sought in accordance with the Partnership’s appropriate policy).
8.4 Consultants from the relevant discipline will be invited to respond with proposals for professional services which meet HHP’s requirements.
8.5 The Strategic Brief, prepared by HHP, will be used as the basis for the appointment of the consultant. The successful consultant will be required to prepare a detailed project brief following appointment.
SELECTION 9.1 HHP recognises the importance of striking an appropriate balance between cost and
quality to achieve best value, so selection of the most suitable external support will not be made on cost alone. The Partnership will select consultants through the use of a value based assessment as opposed to selecting the lowest fee.
8
9.2 There are likely to be a number of factors which determine the most suitable consultant. These will be detailed under the Partnership’s evaluation criteria and Selection of Consultants Procedure (in preparation) for each consultancy service required. The purpose of these procedures is to ensure that there is a robust audit trail to demonstrate fairness, transparency and accountability.
9.3 The evaluation criteria should be determined before any approach is made to potential suppliers or advertisment placed, and may include, but not be limited to:
price (this must include expenses);
experience and qualifications;
understanding of the Partnership’s needs;
methodology;
feasibility and credibility of the consultant’s planned approach;
minimisation of the Partnership’s exposure to risk; and
ability to complete the project on time and to cost.
9.4 The selection process, including who is involved and the extent of their involvement, will vary depending on the scale and complexity of the consultancy service required.
9.5 Confirmation of the appointment will be the responsibility of the Chief Executive.
APPOINTMENT 10.1 Appointment of consultants will be by letter of appointment referring to the
relevant conditions of appointment for the particular profession, clearly setting out the scope and the nature of the services to be provided and confirming details of the fee agreement. Standard letters will be used, and will include the following elements:
a description of consultant’s tasks and duties;
definition of how fees are to be calculated;
breakdown of timing of fee payments;
a clear statement of standards expected;
requirement to maintain Professional Indemnity Insurance for the nature, scale and timing of the commission proposed;
termination of appointment procedure;
dispute resolution procedure; and
ownership of drawings, calculations, and other documentation pertaining to the consultancy service provided.
10.2 The Conditions of Appointment will be those relevant to the particular profession (recognising that they may need to be amended to comply with all current legislation), and will be confirmed in the letter of appointment.
In determination of the appointment of consultants the following approach should be adopted:
check carried out that value of contract is within consultant’s capacity;
9
for works exceeding £100k an independent financial approval should be obtained;
financial guarantees should be sought from the holding/parent company in respect of works exceeding £150k where work has been awarded to a subsidiary company; and
references be obtained for all consultants from bankers and trade suppliers in respect of projects with an estimated cost of over £150k.
10.3 Prior to the confirmation of any appointment, there will be a further check on:
the scope and currency of the consultant’s Professional Indemnity Insurance; and
whether the appointment would breach the Regulator’s Regulatory Standards of Governance and Financial Management, and the Partnership’s Financial Regulations.
10.4 The appointment of a consultant will never take the form of an oral agreement.
FEES 11.1 The fees payable to each consultant will be the subject of negotiation and will
reflect the need for quality service as well as cost. The agreed fee will not exceed the minimum fee scale prescribed by their relevant professional body (where appropriate).
11.2 Payment of fees will be in accordance with the conditions of appointment. The Partnership will check all consultants’ fee notices prior to making payment.
11.3 HHP will make timeous payment to consultants of fees due for each completed stage of the work.
11.4 As far as possible “at risk” works will be avoided.
REVIEW OF CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE 12.1 At the conclusion of each project, the performance of the consultant will be
reviewed, using a proforma, and reported to the Board.
12.2 Depending on the results of this evaluation, the consultant will be retained on the list or, where performance has not been satisfactory and where there are no mitigating circumstances, withdrawn from the list.
LINKS WITH OTHER POLICIES 13.1 The use of Consultants Policy is supported by related HHP policies and procedures
and should be read in conjunction with, but not limited to, the following:
Procurement Policies;
Openess and Confidentiality Policy;
Data Protection Policy (to be finalised);
Anti Corruption Policy Statement;
Building Works Procurement Policies;
Code of Conduct Policies;
Code of Governance for Board Members;
10
Control of Payment and Benefits Policy;
Development Policies;
Disclosure of Interest Policy;
Fraud Policy; and
Risk Management Policy.
FINANCIAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 14.1 Section 31(1) and (2) of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) (PSR) Act 2010
require public bodies to publish a statement of any external consultancy expenditure they have incurred during that financial year as soon as it is reasonably practicable after then end of each financial year.
14.2 The responsibility of reporting this expenditure falls within the remit of the Director of Resources.
MONITORING AND REVIEW 15.1 The operation of this policy will be monitored by the Board.
15.2 The review period for this policy is every 3 years.
