The regulator's grade

C1

The Regulator of Social Housing checks how well landlords treat tenants. It gave Vico Homes grade C1 on 29 July 2026.

C1 means the landlord is doing what the regulator expects. Grades go from C1 (best) to C4 (worst).

How it compares

We compared Vico Homes with 71 similar landlords: housing associations, 10,000 homes or more. These are tenants' answers to the 2025/26 survey and the landlord's own records.

Overall satisfaction: 82.8% of tenants were happy with the service. That puts it in the top quarter of similar landlords.

Repairs and homes: in the top quarter.

Being heard: in the top quarter.

Neighbourhood: in the top quarter.

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.

Complaints to the Housing Ombudsman

In 2025-26, the Housing Ombudsman looked at complaints about Vico Homes Limited. It made 22 findings. It found the landlord at fault in 64% of them. It ordered or recommended £2,765 in compensation.

From October 2025 the Ombudsman looks at how complaints were handled in every case. So these figures are not comparable with earlier years.
