The Switch Management team completed an extremely valuable project last year for a London Borough that had some amazing results. We are now in discussions to repeat the project for another borough. Switch Housing has given us all the opportunity to really make a difference, which is extremely satisfying.

Switch Housing recently worked with Lumensol Ltd to conduct a customer data collection project on behalf of a London Council. The aim of the project was to collect personal data for 2,500 households living in Temporary Accommodation and provide the council with an up-to-date status for all residents being housed in private rental properties. Five team members from Switch Housing conducted the data collection calls over a period of six weeks. The project was completed in September 2024 and provided valuable insights. Key findings included: · 5% of households (50 properties) were unoccupied, meaning an end of duty for the council. This presents a potential saving of £1m each year in incentive and rental fees. · 13% of households had a change in occupancy number, with 5% being under occupied - presenting a potential council saving of £500,000 per year. · 14% of households said they would move out of London if alternative accommodation could be sourced. This highlights the importance of engaging with landlords in wider areas across the UK, to help meet affordable housing needs and relieve pressure on in-demand boroughs.
