Spreadsheets Can't Keep Up With Awaab's Law

The Housing Ombudsman made 7,082 determinations in 2024–25 — a 30% year-on-year increase. Small providers are most exposed.

Spreadsheets can't count working days

Statutory deadlines run on working days, excluding bank holidays. Manual calculation across 50–200 open cases is error-prone and unscalable.

No alerts before deadlines expire

Without automated countdown alerts, housing officers discover breaches after the fact — when a tenant complaint has already escalated.

No audit trail when the Ombudsman knocks

Evidence scattered across emails, phone notes, and filing cabinets. Reconstructing a case timeline during an investigation takes days.

Enterprise tools cost £10,000+/year

Civica, NEC, and other enterprise suites are built for 10,000+ unit providers. A 2,000-unit housing association can't justify that spend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Awaab's Law timescales for social housing repairs?
Awaab's Law requires social housing providers to investigate hazard reports within 10 working days, make the property safe within 5 working days of investigation, and send a written summary to the tenant within 3 working days of completion. Emergency hazards must be addressed within 24 hours. These timeframes are legally binding under the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023.
Does Awaab's Law apply to private landlords?
Awaab's Law currently applies to registered providers of social housing in England only — housing associations, council ALMOs, and other registered providers. Private landlords are not covered by Awaab's Law, though they have separate obligations under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) and the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018.
What hazards does Awaab's Law Phase 2 cover?
Phase 2, expected in 2026, extends Awaab's Law to cover falls, fire, cold, heat, and structural hazards — expanding beyond the Phase 1 focus on damp and mould. Phase 3 (expected 2027) will cover all remaining HHSRS hazard categories.
What happens if a social housing provider misses an Awaab's Law deadline?
Non-compliance can lead to intervention by the Regulator of Social Housing, investigation by the Housing Ombudsman, and housing disrepair litigation. The Housing Ombudsman made 7,082 determinations in 2024–25 — a 30% year-on-year increase — with 714 severe maladministration findings.
Is Awaab's Law in force now?
Yes. Awaab's Law came into force in October 2025 under the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023. Phase 1 covers damp and mould hazards. Phase 2 (falls, fire, cold, heat, structural hazards) is expected in 2026, and Phase 3 (all remaining HHSRS hazards) is expected in 2027.
How do small housing associations currently track Awaab's Law deadlines?
Most small providers (under 5,000 units) track hazard reports across spreadsheets, shared calendars, email inboxes, and sometimes paper logbooks. There is no automated deadline calculation, no countdown alerts, and no audit trail. When a complaint escalates, staff scramble to reconstruct evidence from scattered sources. A March 2026 FM Business Daily report found poor data is hindering landlords' compliance.
Who is HazardClock for?
HazardClock is designed for housing officers, repairs managers, and compliance officers at smaller UK social housing providers — housing associations and council ALMOs managing fewer than 5,000 units. It's built to be affordable and self-serve, unlike enterprise systems that cost £10,000+ per year.
How much will HazardClock cost?
HazardClock is priced for small housing associations, not enterprise budgets. Join the waitlist to hear about launch pricing first. The free deadline calculator tool is available now at no cost.
