There are a number of reasons for it, such as efficient turnaround of council properties and re-letting. Not all local authorities are using choice based letting, CBL. We want them to. We also want them to be actively be ready to allocate or have an allocated person for that property when the renovation is completed, rather than waiting for the renovation to be completed and then starting the allocation process. Some local authorities are very efficient in re-letting council properties. It is not always the length of time it takes to renovate the property. Sometimes it relates to the allocation process that is there in the background.
