("Civitas" or the "Company")
Clarification re RSH Update Judgement on Westmoreland
Properties owned by other Landlords
Civitas, a leading social housing REIT, notes the update
judgment issued this morning by the Regulator of Social Housing
("RSH") in respect of a small property portfolio managed by
Westmoreland ("Judgement").
For clarity, this Judgement is not in relation to any financial
matters and relates to properties which are not owned by Civitas,
but by other landlords.
Accordingly, this Judgement has no effect on any of the
properties owned by Civitas and leased to Westmoreland, which
continues to meet its obligations to Civitas and to provide high
quality homes for tenants whilst producing rental income as
expected.
Commenting on the Judgement Westmoreland stated that:
"We have already implemented a plan of action which we are
confident addresses and remedies the points raised in the
Judgement. We are also confident that the issues are specific to
one small portfolio. Having newly appointed an experienced
Chairman, Board members and Chief Executive for Westmoreland the
issues raised in both this and the previous Judgement are being
addressed so that Westmoreland will be able to demonstrate that it
is a strong, well governed and successful organisation."
Civitas is encouraged by and supportive of the actions outlined
by Westmoreland and remains committed to working with all its
Housing Association partners to continue to improve standards in
the sector.
