Housing association VIVID has once again secured the highest possible ratings from the Regulator of Social Housing, with its governance and financial viability both reaffirmed at G1 and V1 in the regulator’s latest assessment, published on 17 December 2025.
The outcome extends VIVID’s consistent record of top-tier regulatory ratings since the organisation was established in 2017. G1 and V1 represent the highest benchmarks in the sector, signalling strong governance arrangements and a robust financial position.
The regulator’s findings underline VIVID’s ability to manage risk effectively while maintaining the financial resilience needed to invest in existing homes and deliver new affordable housing. The ratings also provide a stable platform to support the organisation’s long-term growth ambitions at a time of continued pressure across the housing sector.
Mark Perry, Chief Executive of VIVID, said: “This is a huge vote of continued confidence in our business. It demonstrates that we have strong governance and financial resilience, which enables us to keep continuously improving our services, maintaining customers’ homes and delivering many more new affordable homes which are so urgently needed.
“It also provides a fantastic platform for even more growth and is a great reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team. We’re not complacent though – we’ll keep striving to maintain these high standards and improve what we offer to customers every day.”
VIVID said the reaffirmed ratings reflect the organisation’s continued focus on strong leadership, prudent financial management and long-term investment, ensuring it remains well positioned to support communities and customers in the years ahead.
