The first step? Building a clear, organisation-wide business case for action. In our opening session, Jenny Danson will set the scene for the day and welcome members, highlighting the importance of a shared vision that unites teams, partners, and residents.10:45am – 11:30am The Business Case for Action: A £140 Billion PotentialThe Net Zero economy could be worth £1 trillion to the UK by 2030 - almost a third of our GDP today. For social landlords, the opportunity is significant: reducing tenant energy bills, lowering rent arrears risk, making homes healthier, and strengthening long-term portfolio value. In this session, we will examine new research on the business case for retrofit and consider how landlords can attract stable, long-term private finance.11:30am - 12:15pm Optimising Portfolio Value: Striking the Right Balance Between Retrofit and DisposalsThe business case for retrofit does not always stack up. When this happens, landlords face a difficult choice: invest in a financially unattractive project or dispose of desperately needed homes. However, new approaches are emerging that break this deadlock. Our panellists will discuss how sale-and-leaseback models help organisations retain control of stock while reducing risk, the compliance considerations for strategic disposals, and how asset, finance, and treasury team alignment can enhance balance sheet resilience.12:15pm - 1:00pm Lunch1:00pm - 1:45pm Navigating Leasehold and Right to Buy in Large-scale RetrofitLeaseholders and Right to Buy add a layer of financial and legal complexity to retrofit planning. From determining who pays to managing cost recovery when homes are sold, landlords must balance fairness, compliance, and long-term value. This session explores how to model retrofit business cases that reflect mixed-tenure realities and protect landlords’ investment post-installation. Speakers will discuss service charge mechanisms, Section 20 consultation requirements, and fair market valuation - and what these mean for delivering compliant, future-proof retrofit programmes.1:45pm - 2:00pm Break2pm - 2:45pm Data-Driven Finance for Long-term Project SuccessData is a key tool in building a strong business case for retrofit. But knowing what information truly matters, how complete your dataset is, and whether it can be trusted remains a major challenge. In this panel discussion, speakers will explore what data private funders need to back large-scale investments, how you can establish accurate resident energy baselines, and what impact varying technology lifespans have on long-term financial planning and asset value.2:45pm – 3:00pm Member Sharing: Bringing a Compelling Business Case to Your BoardThis closing session explores how to collaborate across your organisation to build a compelling business case - securing board support for ambitious retrofit and investment programmes.Attendance is FREE as part of Healthy Homes Hub membership.Places are limited to 40#MakingHousingBetterTo learn more about becoming a Healthy Homes Hub member, contact: jenny@healthyhomeshub.uk - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/retrofit-society-20-april-quarterly-meet/100001810149869989 - **Event Categories**: business, contests, meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fretrofit-society-20-april-quarterly-meet-tickets-1810149869989 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Guinness Partnership - **lat**: 51.5242477 - **long**: -0.1423759 - **full address**: The Guinness Partnership, 350 Euston Road, London, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Healthy Homes Hub (https://allevents.in/org/healthy-homes-hub/24697985) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/5ded5f6655ad7e862898c8af9c9efcea584a72307196736b5efb8be3c57b5a4e-rimg-w1200-h600-dcdd4112-gmir.jpg?v=1766217444 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/507c733cf0d8259be46e3356be4bc7466154e4c8fdb20622cd4fe62194650b28-rimg-w400-h400-dcdc4113-gmir.jpg?v=1766217444 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening?
