Dudley Council cut vacant home prep costs from £5,695 to £2,451 by May 2025 using in-house staff and faster repairs.
Dudley Council has cut the average cost of preparing vacant homes for tenants from £5,695 in 2024/25 to £2,451 by May 2025, with repairs now averaging £4,627 in early 2025/26.
The savings come from adopting the Local Authority Rental Standard, using in-house staff instead of contractors, and reducing repair times from 26 to 10 days.
These changes aim to speed up housing turnover, reduce rent loss, and help address a waiting list of about 4,500 people for the council’s 21,000 homes.
