I’m assuming you weren’t registered as when I tried to withdraw a couple of years ago they advised that we are a mandatory member of the Housing Ombudsman Scheme by effect of the 1996 Housing Act. Organisations which have been at any time registered with the Regulator of Social Housing but subsequently de-registered remain in the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman.
Our records show that your organisation de-registered with the Regulator 23 March 2004, this means that you remain a Social Housing provider under the Ombudsman’s jurisdiction unless your accommodation falls into one of the following categories:
• Open market rent
• Student accommodation
• Care homes
• Asylum housing
• 0 Units owned or managed
