The regulator's grade

C2

C2 means there are some weaknesses. The landlord needs to improve. Grades go from C1 (best) to C4 (worst).

How it compares

We compared Look Ahead Care and Support with 118 similar landlords: housing associations and for-profit landlords, 1,000 to 9,999 homes. These are tenants' answers to the 2025/26 survey and the landlord's own records.

Overall satisfaction: 78.6% of tenants were happy with the service. That puts it in the upper middle of similar landlords.

Repairs and homes: in the lower middle.

Being heard: in the upper middle.

Neighbourhood: in the top quarter. ↑ Up from upper middle in 2024/25.

Top quarter means it did better than at least three in four similar landlords. Bottom quarter means it did worse than at least three in four.

Look Ahead Care and Support asked tenants mostly by online. Most similar landlords asked by telephone. How tenants are asked can change the results.
