As 2026 approaches, housing providers, local authorities, and asset management teams are preparing for another year of regulatory change, increased demand and rising expectations. Now is the ideal moment to review your systems, strengthen processes, and make sure your organisation is ready for what’s ahead. Here is how you can set your team up for success and where +AddJust can support you.
1. Strengthen your property data foundations
Good decisions rely on accurate, accessible data. Many organisations still juggle spreadsheets or outdated tools, creating gaps and inconsistencies. 2026 will require clearer visibility of stock condition, compliance evidence, investment needs, and asset lifecycle planning. Improving the quality and structure of your data now will make future planning significantly easier.
2. Prepare for new compliance requirements
With updates to fire safety, building safety and housing standards expected to continue into 2026, organisations need a proactive approach. Systems that can log inspections, track follow ups and generate audit ready reports will help reduce pressure and ensure nothing is missed when regulations tighten.
3. Improve oversight of maintenance and projects
Manual processes can’t keep up with the scale of repairs, planned maintenance and capital works required today. Standardising workflows, digitising surveys and streamlining communication with contractors can dramatically improve efficiency and outcomes, especially as workloads grow.
4. Break down operational silos
2026 will reward organisations that collaborate effectively. Asset management, procurement, maintenance and project teams need shared systems and consistent processes to reduce risk and improve transparency. Digital tools should support collaboration rather than create bottlenecks.
5. Invest in technology that supports growth
Outdated systems can hold organisations back. A modern platform should simplify data capture, support stock condition surveys, streamline maintenance, manage projects end to end and provide real time reporting. The right technology can reduce administrative burden and enable faster, more informed decision making.
