Mixed versus mono tenure estates: Is there a difference in asset management needs?

A research gap has been identified concerning the long-term maintenance (asset management) of Mixed Tenure Estates (MTEs). The research question is: Do MTEs have different asset management needs from mono tenure estates? The research methodology is based on a case study of a social housing provider, supported by semi-structured interviews. The analysis has shown that there are differences. Whilst the use of a single case study does not allow generalisation of the findings to the population of RSLs, it does raise several hypotheses for future investigation. Two of the main findings are a lack of inter-working between functional departments at the RSL, and the impact of different social characteristics on asset management issues. The research should be of interest to a wide audience including social housing, developers and urban researchers.
