Guidelines and complaints

How we are regulated

Milestone SO Limited (formerly known as Shanly Partnership Homes) trading as Milestone, is registered with the Regulator of Social Housing (‘the RSH’) as a provider of social housing.  The RSH is a government body whose role is to promote a viable, efficient and well-governed social housing sector that is able to deliver homes that meet a range of needs.

The RSH has put in place Regulatory Standards that all providers of social housing must comply with.  The Standards are designed to make sure that Milestone is a good landlord to its customers, that are homes are maintained to a good standard and safe to live in, that we listen to our customers.  The Standards also cover how the business is run, how we manage risk, and how we maintain financial viability and ensure value for money.   Click here to learn more about the standards Milestone is required to adhere to.

The Milestone Board regularly and periodically reviews and confirms our compliance with the Regulatory Standards.

If you’ve gone through all the stages of our complaints process and remain unsatisfied with our response you can take your complaint to the Housing Ombudsman. The Ombudsman will independently and impartially review your complaint, and provide a decision that it considers fair in all the circumstances. We will comply with any orders and recommendations the Ombudsman makes to resolve your complaint.
