Why is my rent increasing?

A look at how we are investing the money we receive from rents.
At Wrekin, we review rent levels once a year, and every February, we notify customers of any changes that will take effect from April. These changes are guided by both the Government and the Regulator for Social Housing, ensuring all housing associations follow the same framework. For 2025/26, the rent increase has been set at inflation (CPI) plus 1%, resulting in an increase of 2.7%.
What Does This Mean for You?
From April 2025, Wrekin customers will see their rent increase by 2.7%. For shared ownership properties, rent increases will follow the terms of your lease agreement.
This adjustment helps us cover rising costs, including those for new boilers, kitchens, bathrooms, and repairs, which have all increased significantly over the past year. Despite these challenges, we are committed to maintaining the high-quality services you rely on. While there will be some internal changes to how we operate, we’re ensuring that you won’t see any difference in the services you receive.
Investing in Your Homes
We are continuing to prioritise improvements to our customers’ homes. This year, we will invest £6.4 million in improvements, including:
- Installing new kitchens and bathrooms
This investment ensures your homes remain safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient. If you have any questions about your rent or services, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help.
