Trident Decent Homes Standard
The Government has set a target to ensure that all social housing meets standards of decency by 2010. This will ensure that all our tenants will have access to and should expect a minimum standard of housing.
Trident have met the decent homes standard before the Goverment target of December 2010. However we will continue to invest in our stock through programmes of elemental renewals.
A decent home is one that:
- Meets the current statutory minimum fitness standard for housing.
- Is in a reasonable state of repair.
- Has reasonable modern facilities and services; a kitchen less than 20 years old, a bathroom which is less than 30 years old, and an appropriately located bathroom and toilet.
- Benefits from effective insulation and efficient heating.
A survey will be carried out prior to any work being undertaken to identify work specific to your property, to ensure it achieves the Decent Homes Standard.
Tenants Choice
Where appropriate, you will be offered a choice of colours for items that need replacing in the kitchen and bathroom, which may include kitchen units, worktops, wall tiles and wall coverings/decoration
