The cost of the Illegal subletting of Council houses...
The number of council house tenants illegally subletting their homes is three times greater than last year, according to Experian. The information services company examined social housing lists to predict how many residents were living at other addresses and illegally subletting, official figures suggest. New research has concluded that almost 160,000 council homes are being illegally sublet by tenants in a racket that is costing the taxpayer more than £2billion a year.
The practice increases the pressure on the public purse because the homes could be used to house others on the waiting list, who are often kept in temporary accommodation at great expense. The Audit Commission estimated in 2009 that about 50,000 council homes were being occupied illegally at a cost of £500million a year in tenancy fraud.
But the fresh analysis concluded that the true figure of homes illegally sublet could be 157,077. It was based on a study of 125,000 properties run by 10 local councils and housing associations to try to detect potential fraud.
We are experts in this field and as investigators can prioritise and deal swiftly with fraudulent cases. Reducing social housing tenancy fraud will significantly reduce the cost of temporary accommodation.
Social housing tenancy fraud is the use of social housing by someone who is not entitled to occupy that home.
It includes unauthorised subletting of a property, or part of the property, for profit to individuals who are not allowed to live there by the conditions of the tenancy. It also includes submitting false information in a housing application to gain a tenancy and wrongful succession where the property is no longer occupied by the original tenant.
We are able through Data matching and up close enquiries to identify if a tenant is subletting and as a result stop what is an expensive fraud and soon there will be full legal support to ensure that it is easier to prosecute individuals who carry out this fraud,
The Covert Agency is not only able to deal with individual cases to build the case file for eviction or prosecution, but can also help with the implementation of systems to stop this very expensive and increasing type of fraud.
If you are interested we can arrange a free review of your current situation to evaluate what potentially could be saved,
We look forward to hearing from you and as a result reducing a heavy burden on your budgets.
