Following an inspection carried out in spring 2026, the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) has today published their latest regulatory judgement for Wandle.
The regulator has graded us as:
G1 (Governance), C2 (Consumer), V2 (Viability)
We are pleased to retain our G1/V2 rating, and welcome our first Consumer grading, and feel these outcomes appropriately recognise our current position, the progress made to date, and our future plans.
Governance
The regulator found that we demonstrate effective governance arrangements, with risks well managed to support the delivery of our strategic and charitable objectives. Our Governance rating remained G1, having previously been rated G1 at our last stability check in winter 2025.
Consumer
This is the first time we have been awarded a Consumer rating since the introduction of the new regulatory standards. Whilst C2 means that our performance is compliant, areas for improvement were identified to ensure all outcomes of the standards are being delivered consistently. We are confident that our plans over the next two years will continue to strengthen our compliance in this area and thank the regulator for their recommendations and findings here.
Viability
Our V2 rating, also unchanged since our last stability check, reflects the significant ongoing investment in homes, including fire remediation works, as well as our ambitious programme to deliver 500 new homes across south London by 2028. The regulator was satisfied that our financial plan is sufficiently funded, and able to deal with a reasonable range of adverse scenarios.
In response to the findings, our Chair, Dr Valerie Vaughan-Dick MBE, said:
“This inspection provides a clear and helpful assessment of our performance against the standards.
“Good governance is at the heart of navigating the risks, challenges and opportunities the housing sector faces, and I am pleased that this comprehensive inspection was able to validate the Board’s approach to this.
“Our Corporate Strategy was grounded on setting out the work we are doing to consistently improve outcomes for all our residents. Over the remaining two years of this strategy, residents will continue to see our commitment to honest, accountable engagement, working together to improve the services they rely on, and delivering against clear targets we have set.
“I’d like to thank the regulator for their thorough and considered inspection, and we will continue to work proactively with them going forward.”
