Perry Lloyd: The government must not lose focus on how homes will be professionally managed, not just built

With the Government aiming to deliver half a million affordable homes during this Parliament, supported by £39 billion in public grant, the ambition is both bold and necessary. The scale of the challenge reflects the urgency of the housing crisis facing the UK, where demand for secure, affordable accommodation continues to outstrip supply. But ambition alone won’t deliver results. The UK’s affordable housing sector needs more than just bricks and mortar; it needs a robust, sustainable delivery model that ensures long-term value for residents, taxpayers, and purposeful investors with access to appropriate institutional capital.

Achieving this target will require an estimated £11 billion in private capital. For investors, this presents a compelling opportunity to deploy long-term funds into a sector of growing social and political importance. Affordable housing is increasingly recognised not just as a moral imperative, but as a resilient asset class with the potential to deliver stable returns and measurable social impact. However, the journey from capital investment to community impact is complex and requires more than financial commitment, it demands operational excellence and strategic collaboration.

The challenge isn’t just building homes; it’s about building investable, suitably configured stock in accordance with tailored specifications that design out long term cost in support of efficient well-managed and well-maintained homes with built-in resilience capable of delivering enduring value. Poor management not only diminishes the social impact of affordable housing but also undermines investor confidence and places additional pressure on local services. That’s why the conversation must evolve from a construction-based numbers game to one of stewardship, service quality, and sustainable outcomes. Homes must be more than units, they must be part of thriving, inclusive communities. 

"There is increasing recognition that professional, institutional-grade housing management is critical to the success of affordable housing."

There is increasing recognition that professional, institutional-grade housing management is critical to the success of affordable housing. From lettings and tenancy management to resident engagement, maintenance, and neighbourhood services, as well as quality performance reporting, efficient service delivery is what transforms housing units into places people are proud to call home. It’s also what ensures value for money for the public purse and supports the necessary proportionate return on investment for private funders. Without this, the sector risks falling short of its potential, socially, economically and financially.

This is where experienced housing partners play a vital role. The sector needs a trusted bridge between private capital and housing delivery, partners who can provide the operational scale, compliance expertise, and service excellence required to deliver high resident satisfaction and resilient, well-managed assets. These capabilities are essential to translating investment into long-term value for all stakeholders. The best management partner ensures that well-built homes are expertly maintained and operated in ways that improve quality of life for residents, promotes community wellbeing and, at the same time, minimises rent-loss for the investor. In this way the interests of residents and investors are closely aligned.

The trend is already taking shape. For-profit registered providers (FPRPs) are increasingly partnering with expert housing managers to meet these demands. Pinnacle currently manages homes on behalf of 11 FPRPs and is set to contract with six more, representing nearly a quarter of all FPRPs registered with the Regulator of Social Housing. As the market leader, we offer institutional-grade services tailored to institutional investors, combining deep sector knowledge, regulatory compliance and high performance with a commitment to best resident outcomes. 

As the Government drives forward its housing targets, it must not lose focus on how these homes will be professionally managed, not just built. Encouraging collaboration between investors, housing providers, and experienced management partners will be key to delivering not only the quantity of homes we need, but the quality of life that residents deserve, and the financial performance and sustainability that investors require. This collaborative, long-term approach is essential to ensuring that affordable housing delivers lasting, meaningful impact. The future of affordable housing lies not just in construction, but in the creation of communities that are well-served, well-managed, and built to last.

Pinnacle Group expands local authority partnerships with 342 new homes under management

Pinnacle Group has announced the commencement of three new contracts with local authorities across London and the southeast, bringing a total of 342 additional homes under its management. This significant expansion strengthens Pinnacle’s role as a trusted partner to local authorities in delivering leading housing, neighbourhood and community-facing services.

The new contracts span three regions. In Surrey, Pinnacle has begun managing 94 homes for Elmbridge Borough Council, located across towns including Thames Ditton, Esher, and Weybridge. These include both temporary accommodation, which supports the council’s statutory duties to homeless households, and affordable housing for rent. 

In Essex, Pinnacle has been appointed by Harlow Council to manage 172 homes at the Millbrook Studios to the north of the town centre. This development features a mix of affordable and open market rental properties. Pinnacle will deliver a full suite of services including lettings, property management, security, concierge, and facilities management.

Further expanding its reach, Pinnacle is also partnering with I4B, the wholly owned housing company of Brent Council. Under this agreement, Pinnacle will manage 76 homes located across Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Slough, Milton Keynes, Luton, and London. I4B was established in 2016 to provide affordable, high-quality homes and reduce homelessness.

“These new partnerships reflect our growing role in supporting local authorities to deliver safe, affordable, and well-managed homes. We are proud to be trusted by councils across the country to help meet the housing needs of their communities and look forward to providing our market-leading services."

Claire Kober
Managing Director, Homes at Pinnacle Group

Cllr Alex Batchelor, Portfolio Holder for Housing at Elmbridge Borough Council, said: “Elmbridge Borough Council has invested heavily in recent years to increase our stock of temporary accommodation and other social housing for rent and we’ve appointed Pinnacle to take on the management of these homes after a robust  procurement process.  We and our residents have high expectations and we look forward to Pinnacle delivering on these in the years ahead”.

Pinnacle Group’s Paul Carney awarded OBE in King’s Birthday Honours list

Paul Carney OBE, Chief of Staff, Pinnacle Service Families (PSF), has been appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the King’s Birthday Honours List 2025.

This honour recognises Paul’s outstanding service to the Army. He now continues his dedication to supporting military families in PSF.

Paul joined Pinnacle in April 2025 following a distinguished 28-year military career, culminating in his role as the Army Sergeant Major – the most senior non-commissioned soldier in the British Army.

Since joining Pinnacle, Paul has brought his deep understanding of military life and strategic leadership to the forefront of PSF’s mission to manage and enhance services for over 49,000 Service Family Accommodation homes across the UK. Paul has always been a “soldiers’ soldier” and this is at the heart of what drives his contribution to PSF.

“I am deeply honoured to receive this recognition. Serving the Army was a privilege, and continuing to support service families through my work at Pinnacle is equally meaningful. This award is a reflection of the incredible people I’ve worked alongside throughout my career, both in uniform and now as a veteran.”

Paul Carney
Chief of Staff, Pinnacle Service Families
“Paul's OBE is a testament to his exceptional leadership, integrity and commitment to those who serve, and their families. We are proud to have him as part of our team."

Paul’s award follows a series of strategic appointments to the Pinnacle Service Families Senior Leadership Team, reinforcing Pinnacle’s commitment to delivering high-quality services to the Armed Forces community.

Claire Kober on how new homes need public support

If the claims in Lord Ashcroft’s latest book are to be believed, Angela Rayner – feeling she was set up for a fall – threatened to quit over the government’s ambitious housing target. Tony Blair was allegedly called in, and a grace-and-favour pad at Admiralty House was offered to placate the agitated housing secretary.

Whatever the truth, it is clear that building 1.5 million homes over the course of this parliament is a huge undertaking and it is understandable that members of the public – and politicians – are sceptical.

History suggests this scepticism is well placed; completions have not breached the 200,000 mark since 1998 and the last time more than 300,000 homes were completed in a year was back in 1969.

While they had 12 housing ministers over the course of their time in government, the Conservatives failed to hit their target of one million new homes during their last term; and their peak of 234,400 net additional dwellings in 2022-23 fell far short of their goal of 300,000 new homes a year by the mid-2020s.

These statistics demonstrate the challenge Labour faces in trying to hit its own higher target, with housing minister Matthew Pennycook admitting last November that the task would be “more difficult than we expected in opposition”. While he called it an “incredibly stretching target”, he also said he was “convinced” it was deliverable and “essential”.

Given the history, is it right to have such an ambitious target? And if so, will aiming for it and potentially falling short further erode public trust in government?

"Effective communication about efforts and expected timelines is essential to maintain public trust."

Targets have been extensively used by central government policymakers across various areas, from the NHS to net zero. They signal political priorities and communicate intent to the public and those responsible for delivery. Housing targets focus the efforts of government and industry, and drive delivery. It is a truism that what gets measured gets done.

However, targets must be used thoughtfully, strategically and sparingly. Simply parroting a target in isolation won’t convince those affected by the housing crisis – or those in areas where development is proposed – that the right kind of progress will be made or a solution found.

With more than 100,000 households in temporary accommodation and house prices around eight times the average earnings, it is not just numbers that matter to people on the ground; affordability is also key.

Public perception

According to polling by More In Common last year, in contrast to a political and media debate that sees housebuilding through either a Nimby or a Yimby lens, half the public say their view on development in their area depends on the merits of the proposals in question.

The research shows that the public’s concerns centre on a perception that development would simply lead to more expensive houses being built and little to no new amenities such as schools and GP surgeries being created alongside them. If new housing is not more affordable than what is already on offer, and an influx of new homeowners puts strain on already stretched amenities, then communities will not support it.

Brits, generally speaking, are not against housebuilding. But their support is contingent on their concerns being addressed and progress consistently demonstrated.

The government must provide clear and honest explanations as it works towards its ambitious target. And Labour’s policy changes will take time to manifest. Reforming planning regulations, training skilled tradespeople and increasing investment in affordable housing require time to translate into tangible increases in housing numbers. Effective communication about these efforts and their expected timelines is essential to maintain public trust and build support.

Ministers reportedly anticipate no more than 200,000 net additional dwellings from the last financial year, creating a growing shortfall that will need to be addressed in the later years of this parliament. This could necessitate building as many as 400,000 new homes annually by the late 2020s to meet targets.

Gaining and maintaining support from all stakeholders will be crucial in achieving the housing target, despite the challenging circumstances. Scrapping it is not an option.

Pinnacle Group marks 30-year anniversary with major contract wins and sustained growth

Pinnacle Group secured over 30 new contracts over the last financial year (April 24- March 25), marking £70 million in total contract value.

The achievement is part of a series of milestones that have seen the company expand its reach to new locations and increase its housing management portfolio by over 3,000 homes, bringing the total to over 74,000 homes nationwide.

These accomplishments came as Pinnacle celebrated its 30th anniversary, marking three decades as a provider of housing and community-facing neighbourhood services to 26,000+ delivery sites and over 230 workplaces.

Pinnacle's new contracts included delivery partnerships with leading investors in affordable housing, such as Octopus-backed NewArch Homes, Pears-funded MTD Housing, and Nuveen-backed Preferred Homes Ltd.

The company also expanded its collaborations with investors such as L&G Affordable Homes, more than doubling the number of homes it manages for them, as well as securing significant housing management contracts with prominent organisations such as Manchester City Council, Birmingham City Council, and CBRE Investment Management.

The company also expanded its collaborations with investors such as L&G Affordable Homes, more than doubling the number of homes it manages for them, as well as securing significant housing management contracts with prominent organisations such as Manchester City Council, Birmingham City Council, and CBRE Investment Management.

Additionally, Pinnacle entered into a landmark 50-year contract with infrastructure giant HOCHTIEF to operate over 1,000 student rooms in partnership with Staffordshire University. Pinnacle also expanded its workplace operations for multinational manufacturer JCB and won new contracts worth over £2 million annually with Notting Hill Genesis to provide cleaning, caretaking, window cleaning, and waste services across five London boroughs.

A major highlight of the year was Pinnacle's new partnership with the Hyde Group. Hyde’s strategic investment in Pinnacle marked a transformative moment for both organisations, enabling them to amplify their impact across the housing and neighbourhood sectors.

Over the last year, Pinnacle's flagship Meadowship scheme, a partnership with Bromley Council, has successfully supported 127 homeless households into permanent homes, contributing to the alleviation of the ongoing temporary housing crisis. Since its inception, the scheme has helped nearly 400 homeless families find permanent housing.

As well as supporting local government, Pinnacle continues to be a trusted partner of the HM Government, last year supporting over 12,000 armed forces families as they move into MOD accommodation through its multi-million-pound contract with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation. The company has also played a crucial role in the Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy, successfully assisting 170 Afghan families in transitioning to surplus MOD accommodation.

In addition to these achievements, Pinnacle has handled over 1 million customer calls across its 24/7 contact centres, significantly boosted its market rent and student accommodation portfolios, and achieved market-leading customer satisfaction scores.

"This past year has been remarkable for us. Our strategic partnership with Hyde Group, coupled with securing numerous high-value contracts, has positioned us to innovate more effectively and deliver high-quality, well-managed homes and communities nationwide. I am immensely proud of the profound impact our teams have had on communities across the UK and look forward to our continued expansion and success."

Claire Kober: It’s time to lift the social housing stigma

For those following the passage of the assisted dying bill through parliament, there may not be any immediate parallels with the housing world.

However, whatever your views on the bill, a recurring concern is being played out in the debate. Despite the apparent safeguards in place, there persists a worry that vulnerable people may be coerced into ending their lives simply because they no longer wish to be a burden – to their families, their friends or the state.

This concept of ‘being a burden’ is deeply troubling and is evident across several sectors, including healthcare, mental health and housing. But why do people consider themselves a burden in the first place, and how does this problem play out in the housing sector?

In January, the G15 – a collective of London’s largest housing associations – published a report entitled ‘Taking the stigma out of social housing: the residents’ view’. Nearly half (45%) of social housing residents surveyed report experiencing prejudice or discrimination due to their housing status, while 43% say they have felt stigmatised when interacting with their landlord. With statistics like this, it is no wonder people begin to feel like a burden.

"It is not just about perceptions, but also about the impact this prejudice has on people’s lives."

The report delves into how stigma is formed and perpetuated, with residents highlighting the impact of politicians’ words, media depictions of social housing and social media narratives. Residents say they feel social housing tenants are portrayed as a burden to the taxpayer when, in reality, over half are in work.

The stakes are high. It is not just about perceptions, but also about the impact this prejudice has on people’s lives. It is five years since two-year-old Awaab Ishak died in Rochdale due to exposure to mould that was not addressed by his landlord. The Housing Ombudsman’s report highlighted a pattern of “othering” residents, attributing issues such as damp and mould to “cultural practices” and “lifestyle choices”, rather than addressing the underlying causes in the building.

The housing association involved, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, has since undergone a complete change of leadership, and update reports show significant progress. At a conference in January, its new director of communications spoke about the need for teams to properly represent the communities they serve.

Need for decisive leadership

We also need to consider the current state of play. The government aims to bring forward 1.5 million homes by 2030, but in our pursuit of higher housing volumes, we must not overlook the need for decisive and capable leadership to drive attitudinal change.

Comments suggesting social housing residents ‘should be grateful’, are ‘entitled’ or have caused issues themselves are still common. Language matters and, in line with the Rochdale recommendations, we must root out these attitudes and provide clear information to residents.

Better environment: the industry needs to counter negative perceptions of social housing

The affordable housing sector is at an inflection point, with more for-profit registered providers coming on board each month. These landlords reported owning over 38,500 homes in 2024, up 30% on the previous year. As well as securing stable, long-term returns, investors are looking to deliver positive social impact along with new solutions to intractable problems such as the number of people in temporary accommodation.

We are seeing new ways to create homes that challenge outdated perceptions of social housing and bring new players to the table, who also have a responsibility to challenge these depictions. For-profit registered providers, along with others in the housing sector, have an opportunity to shift perceptions by promoting a positive narrative on social housing; showcasing an accurate representation of social homes and the people who live in them.

This includes highlighting some of the excellent new homes being created. Regular registered providers, for-profit companies, housing organisations such as my own and the broader sector must work together to shift perceptions, which will bring substantial benefits to communities.

We must create an environment where all residents feel valued and respected, ensuring that social housing is seen as a vital, positive force in our communities.
