We’re Here to Listen – Have Your Say on Rent for 2026/27

We know that any change to your rent matters to you. That’s why we want to explain what’s being proposed, why it’s needed, and—most importantly—hear your views before any decision is made. Your feedback really can make a difference.

What Happened Last Year?

In 2025/26, we suggested a 5.5% rent increase. After listening to tenants (51 people responded), the Committee agreed on a lower increase of 5%.

What We’re Proposing for 2026/27

We’re asking for your views on a 5.5% rent increase. This is needed so we can:

• Keep essential services and repairs running smoothly

• Invest in homes and the community for the long term

• Cover rising costs for materials and contractors

Blairtummock is a not-for-profit charity. We only set charges to cover costs and make sure we can keep your homes safe and well maintained for years to come.

Keeping Things Affordable

We aim to keep rents as low as possible, but rising costs mean we must balance affordability with maintaining quality services. The proposed increase reflects this. We know other living costs are rising too, so we’ll continue seeking extra funding to help with essentials like energy and food.
