The legislative, regulatory and financial landscape for local authority housing is constantly evolving. New legislation, revised accounting standards, changing government policy and the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis all place new demands on housing finance professionals.

Haverly Consulting provides high-quality training designed specifically for local authority finance and housing teams. Our trainers are active practitioners — they bring real-world experience from working across dozens of Councils, not just theoretical knowledge. Every session is designed to be practical, accessible and directly applicable to participants' day-to-day roles.

• Regional seminars — full and half-day events bringing together finance professionals from multiple authorities

• In-house training — bespoke sessions delivered on-site or virtually, tailored to your authority's specific context and team

• Online webinars — shorter, focused sessions on specific topics, available as live events or on-demand recordings

• Housing Revenue Account (HRA) — fundamentals, business planning, rent setting and self-financing

• Minimum Revenue Provision (MRP) — policy options, accounting treatment and recent case law

• Temporary Accommodation — financial management, cost pressures and funding options

• Local Authority Housing Companies — establishing, governing and accounting for wholly-owned companies

• Capital Financing — borrowing, the Prudential Code and treasury management basics

• Housing Development Finance — development appraisals, viability and grant funding
