LONDON – Sovereign Network Group (SNG) has upheld its governance and financial viability ratings following an inspection by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH), according to a press release statement. The RSH awarded SNG a G1 for governance and a V2 for financial viability, indicating stable management and fiscal health. Additionally, SNG received a C2 rating for its compliance with the new Consumer Standards.
The recent assessment marked SNG’s inaugural inspection since Sovereign merged with Network Homes in 2023. The evaluation focused on the organization’s adherence to the RSH’s governance, financial viability requirements, and Consumer Standards. This was the first time SNG’s performance against the Consumer Standards was appraised.
Group CEO Mark Washer expressed satisfaction with the RSH’s acknowledgment of SNG’s effective governance, including strong leadership, strategic decision-making, and risk management. Washer also emphasized the organization’s financial resilience as a cornerstone for delivering the merger’s benefits to customers and communities. SNG’s goal is to provide 25,000 homes over the next decade and invest in existing properties to meet the Homes and Place Standard, developed in collaboration with customers.
Addressing the C2 consumer standard rating, Washer acknowledged the RSH’s assurance that SNG meets expectations in key areas such as resident safety, home condition awareness, fair tenant treatment, and tenancy sustainability. However, he recognized the need for ongoing improvements in repairs and complaints services. SNG is actively investing in these areas and has begun work to enhance customer experiences.
The RSH’s grading system is crucial for monitoring social housing providers, ensuring they meet specific standards of operation and service. The G1 and V2 ratings confirm SNG’s strong governance and financial practices, while the C2 rating in Consumer Standards reflects areas where the organization can improve to better serve its customers.
