For housing associations and registered providers

Compliance software for housing associations and registered providers

Eleven statutory inspection types, scheduled, captured on site and turned into branded reports, with every finding tracked to completion. One record for every home, ready when the regulator, an ombudsman or a resident asks.

The problem: compliance evidence in too many places

Statutory checks run on different cycles, from weekly alarm tests to five-yearly electrical reports. They are carried out by in-house teams and contractors, and the results arrive as PDFs, spreadsheets and emails.

When someone asks whether a home was checked, what was found and what was done about it, the answer means stitching those sources together. That is slow, and it is where gaps hide.

One record for every statutory inspection

  • Eleven inspection types, each with its own workflow and report template, from damp and mould to gas safety
  • Statutory frequencies built in, with expiry dashboards across the portfolio so nothing lapses unseen
  • Branded reports generated the moment each inspection ends, in your name
  • Every finding tracked from the inspection through remedial work to completion

Awaab's Law and the HHSRS

Damp and mould is the highest-profile hazard in social housing, and Awaab's Law puts fixed timescales on investigating and fixing reported hazards in England. Kaarr tracks Category 1 hazards and Awaab's Law timescales against the legal clock to completion.

Read how the two fit together on the damp and mould and HHSRS pages, or see every confirmed date on the 2026 and 2027 compliance calendar.

What your board and directors can see

Directors do not need the detail of every visit. They need to know what is due, what has lapsed and where the exposure sits, without waiting for someone to compile it.

Kaarr's expiry dashboards show the position across the whole portfolio, and each line opens through to the property and the inspection record behind it.

Built for all four nations

The rules differ. England applies the Housing Act 2004 and Awaab's Law, Scotland the Repairing and Tolerable Standards, Wales the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and Northern Ireland its own fitness standard and Decent Homes programme. Each inspection page sets out the framework that applies in each nation.

If inspections are done by contractors

Inspection companies you work with can run their own work in Kaarr and issue reports in their own name. See Kaarr for inspection companies.

Common questions

What is a registered provider of social housing?

A registered provider is a housing association, local authority or other landlord registered with the Regulator of Social Housing to provide social housing in England. GOV.UK publishes the list.

Which inspections does Kaarr cover?

Eleven types: damp and mould, HHSRS, asbestos, legionella, fire risk assessment, emergency lighting, fire detection and alarms, gas safety, EICR, EPC and PAT.

Does it work in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?

Yes. Each inspection type carries the framework that applies in each of the four nations, so the same programme can run across a UK-wide portfolio.
