How Your Rent is Spent | Executive Pay & Management Costs | Accent Housing

Your rent helps provide services including maintaining your home and more.

The Regulator of Social Housing requires us to publish information about what we pay our executive directors and board members, and the management costs of running Accent on an annual basis.

In 2024/25 we spent £102m on housing management of social housing. As well the direct costs of managing customers’ homes like routine and planned maintenance costs and major repairs, this includes the day-to-day costs of running the business, including behind-the-scenes costs such as running our offices and IT systems. 

Management costs represent £5,106 per social housing unit.

In 2024/2025 we paid our executive team and independent board members a total of £1.3m. This represents £65.77 per social housing unit. The Executive Director of Strategy and Growth, who also was Interim Chief Executive officer for a period of seven months, was the highest paid director and was paid a total of £190k, or £9.56 per social housing unit.
