Improve with us. Influence with us 6

7 Asset Management - the key drivers Demand & Supply Demographic changes, including ageing population Fluctuations in demand for particular locations and property types (impact of welfare reform) Growing emphasis on choice & increasing customer demands/expectations Stock Condition & Sustainability An ageing stock profile & fit for purpose issues with some property types The pressure to a deliver higher, local determined standard (Decent Homes +) Neighbourhood & economic sustainability Funding, Financing & VfM The imperative for assets & asset planning to support the Business Plan The need to optimise value & use of assets (economic regulation) The need for proactive solutions to improve stock portfolios & their performance Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 7

8 So what s expected of asset managers today? Irrespective of organisation type or operating location: A robust approach to use of resources A clear understanding of the return on assets Consideration of the use of assets in the round, seeking the best strategy for delivering value from them, whilst meeting organisational objectives To use information on return on assets to underpin strategic decisions (e.g. hold stock in current form, dispose, convert tenure etc.) HCA & VfM Statements In the last set of statements it was on the return on assets requirement where people struggled most Jonathan Walters, Deputy Director Strategy & Performance, HCA Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 8

9 The challenge of the CIH Working Together project? To work creatively in a positive environment to collectively define and develop a new model for asset management that responds to the challenges and opportunities we face. The aim? To re-define the way the sector approaches asset management, working up a model that is fit for purpose for the new operating environment and which can truly unlock the potential of the sector s housing stock. With the combination of regulatory requirements and the economic climate, the imperative for all social landlords to take a more intelligent approach to asset management has never been greater. Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 9

10 And the ultimate objective of asset management today? To make sure the sector has the right skills, tools and resources in place to manage assets to create the optimum balance between cost, quality and utilisation in the organisation s own context.

21 So what comprises Asset Management? Strategy Stock condition survey Yield NPV analysis New build Performance appraisal Energy Efficiency & fuel poverty Procurement Stock condition data Housing need & demand analysis Neighbourhood performance Redevelopment Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 21

22 The key ingredients of sound asset management 1. A comprehensive, strategic approach The Asset Management Strategy as the essential framework Designed to unlock the potential of the housing stock Delivering for the business & the customer Built around a set of clear strategic priorities Shaped & informed by sound stock condition survey data, supplemented by other data on housing need/demand, socio-economic data etc. Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 22

23 The key ingredients of sound asset management 2. A clear delivery plan The Asset Management Plan as the delivery vehicle What you re going to do How you re going to do it How much it s going to cost When you re going to do it by Who s going to do it Demonstrably delivering against the strategic objectives Shaped by and shared with residents Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 23

24 The key ingredients of sound asset management 3. Understanding the performance of the assets The use of Asset Performance Tools but what is performance, what does it mean? Financial performance measures Net Present Value (NPV) Yield Non-financial performance measures Meeting social objectives Meeting political objectives Economic/regeneration objectives But which approach is best? Which value measure should you use? Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 24

Improve with us. Influence with us 25

26 Net Present Value Objectives Effective asset management will lead to incomes increasing at a faster rate than the level of investment, returning a larger NPV over time Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 26

27 The Yield Curve How should we go about setting targets and moving the yield to the right? Gross Yield: The annual return on your investment (the income the value) Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 27

28 The key ingredients of sound asset management 4. Optimising cost, quality & utilisation Using performance information to inform option appraisal Identifying the actions that will generate more value or fresh potential Continue to invest & retain in current use Change of use Redevelopment Disposal Identifying where the potential lies to unlock asset potential, release value, provide for reinvestment Balancing economic motives against social responsibilities Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 28

29 The key ingredients of sound asset management 5. Accountability providing assurance Evaluating the approach being taken Monitoring its impact/return Increase in average NPV Increase in average yield Meeting tenant needs/demands Impact on neighbourhood sustainability Local economic impact Providing clear information and assurance to boards, elected members, residents & other stakeholders Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 29

30 The key ingredients of sound asset management 6. Effective, efficient procurement Using approaches that add real value to the asset Shifting the balance of risk to contractors & manufacturers Securing greater inter-organisational and interpersonal trust Promotion of a culture to support innovation, learning and development of mutual advantage Lifecycle considerations Landlords long lifecycle, reduced maintenance, lower carbon and improved NPV Residents safety, great performance, good looks and reduced call outs Contractors easy to fit, reliable and offer savings and predictability when taking on long term liabilities Lifecycle isn t taken seriously by the sector and is not considered a critical component of procurement Steve Coleman, TakeParts Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 30

31 The key ingredients of sound asset management 7. Delivering wider sustainability For social landlords the value the assets bring also needs to be measured in broader ways: The cost of energy efficiency works versus the benefits for reducing fuel poverty The value of delivering local training & employment The regenerative benefits of your asset approaches The creation or sustaining of stronger communities But how to measure and monitor progress in these areas and demonstrate VfM? There are many impact tools, but CIH is developing a balanced scorecard approach Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 31

32 Summarising these initial thoughts Delivering in Asset Management in this new world 1. A comprehensive strategic approach 2. A clear delivery plan 3. Understanding the performance of your assets 4. Optimising cost, quality & utilisation 5. Accountability providing assurance 6. Effective, efficient, procurement 7. Delivering wider sustainability It s not rocket science, but nor is it simple social landlords are complex organisations operating in a complex environment Learn with us. Improve with us.

33 Working Together to redefine Asset Management Geoff Prior, Head of Assets

34 Thirteen Group (Formed April 2014) 4 Stock holding companies: Erimus Housing, Tees Valley Housing, Housing Hartlepool, Tristar Homes. 32,600 homes. Approx. 29,000 Teesside based homes. Currently harmonising asset & delivery approach. Asset Management Strategy December 2014.

35 Areas of activity we need to consider: Fuel Poverty Strategy and objectives Empty Homes Strategy (inc void specification) Option appraisal of marginal stock Garage Strategy The Thirteen property standard Estate Sustainability modelling Asset Management Strategy Making our homes the preferred choice Stock performance & estate trends Land holdings and potential usage Landlord 30 year Financial Business Plan adjustments Mandatory compliance issues New Development and where

38 So why did we join the CIH Working Together to Redefine Asset Management project? The social housing rental market has already changed. Bedroom Tax - 3 bedroom homes. Threat of competition from private landlords - i.e. lower standards of our stock (or perception of lower standard). Can we still claim to be the preferred social landlord? Are our standards high enough? We need to better understand the performance of our stock assets i.e. income v. present and future investment. This can only be done in conjunction with the development of a sustainability model. Decent Homes Standard+ - what does it really mean if some types of stock doesn't let or is too costly to run/maintain? New IT systems in July 2015 will provide estate modelling opportunities and as a precursor we will pilot a neighbourhood with CIH.

39 AMS Planning Progressive Thinking Very old approach investment requirement / annual budget. Old approach stock condition survey and 30 year finance model. Current approach net present value (viability of investment spend). Strategic approach intelligent use of data and asset grading - i.e. Sustainability modelling.

40 This can be illustrated as follows: Social Bearable Equitable Sustainable Environment Viable Economic

41 Asset Management and sustainability modelling

42 Grading & understanding the Assets

43 Risk questions : Is our one size fits all policy on our stock too restrictive? Can we really claim our properties have `kerb appeal`? Are our lettings policies/ procedure too cumbersome? Do we really protect our investment in our assets? Asset management isn`t just bricks and mortar but is also about : demand, geography and kerb appeal too. Why are some areas in a larger estate better than others in the same estate?

44 And our pilot areas in Thorntree :

45 And our pilot areas in Thorntree :

46 And our pilot areas in Thorntree :

47 Thorntree facts & figures : 979 properties: estate total approximately 1,400. Approx spend p.a. on repairs. 52 % in rent arrears. 3 bed homes difficult to let. 80% of tenancies in receipt of Housing Benefit. In the top 1% (UK) for Indices of multiple deprivation. In the top 10% (UK) for employment, income (effecting elderly people).

48 Thorntree Quarter /15 :

49 Britain's priciest council flat :

50 Questions & discussion 1. What do you think are the key attributes of effective asset management? 2. What else should asset management consider/involve that it doesn t currently? 3. Are asset managers taking the lead sufficiently? Are they in the driving seat in their organisations? 4. Is the rest of the organisation buying into the new asset management agenda? (because they need to, don t they?) 5. What would be the most useful outputs from the CIH Working Together to Redefine Asset Management project? Learn with us. Improve with us. Influence with us 50
