Estate inspections and walkabouts
Estate inspections and walkabouts give our tenants a chance to accompany housing and other staff walking around their estate, identifying problems, and monitoring the service.
The inspections and walkabouts are an important tool in ensuring estates are well maintained and identifying improvements tenants and leaseholders want to see.
Find out more about estate inspections and walkabouts.
