Ms Fiona Cormican:

As Ms Randall pointed out, differential rent is very onerous because we are using so many rates across the country. It would be a lot simpler if there was one differential rent. It would also be more equitable because if an estate is divided by a county line, people can be paying different rents.

On accessibility, all our housing is Part M compliant, which means it is wheelchair accessible. Clúid operates to a lifetime homes standard and we have our own design guide. The lifetime homes standard has 16 design requirements to make homes not only suitable for living in at the moment but suitable for adapting in the future. All the organisations in the AHB sector operates with that in mind. Even when we buy from a developer, we provide our design standard and we expect them to meet it before we consider buying the properties.
