The Trafford Standard

By 2010 all homes have to meet the Government’s Decent Homes Standard.

Trafford Housing Trust would exceed that standard by putting in place a major improvements programme, designed to ensure that all homes meet the superior Trafford Standard by 2010.

A Trafford Standard Home would:

•   Be structurally sound and free from dampness

•   Have doors and windows that are safe and provide good security

•   Have modern heating systems and be energy efficient

•   Have a modern bathroom (i.e. less than 20 years old)

•   Have a modern kitchen (i.e. less than 20 years old)

•   Have modern electrical standards (i.e. less than 25 years old)

•   Be in a good environment

•   Have secure and clean communal areas

•   Have modern standards of home safety, e.g. security window locks

•   Not be potentially dangerous to the health and safety of occupiers
