Statutory safety
Current Gas Safety, EICR, Fire Risk Assessment, evacuation plan, Legionella controls and EPC evidence where applicable.
Property standard
Homes built for safety, dignity and proper oversight.
Our homes are selected, equipped and managed against a practical supported-housing specification. The aim is simple: safer accommodation, better day-to-day living, cleaner audit evidence and fewer operational surprises.
Baseline requirements
Mandatory standards before anything gets called a Mybe home.
The basics are not optional. Each property needs current statutory compliance, clear tenancy paperwork, secure access, adequate room sizes and evidence that can be shown without a frantic paper chase.
▣
Tenancy clarity
Signed tenancy or lease documents with rent, service charge, IHM fee and support fee shown separately.
⌂
Property basics
Smoke and CO alarms, secure doors and windows, communal lighting, inventories, FFE schedules and on-call arrangements.
Room sizes and layout
Space matters. So does how the space works.
Supported housing fails quickly when homes are cramped, noisy or poorly laid out. Mybe uses clear room-size expectations and prefers low-density layouts with practical communal space.
Room size guide
| Room type | Minimum / recommended standard |
|---|---|
| Single bedroom | Minimum 7.5 m², recommended 8.5–10 m². |
| Double bedroom | Minimum 11.5 m², recommended 12–14 m². |
| 1-bed adaptable flat | Recommended baseline around 55 m². |
| 2-bed flat | Recommended minimum internal area of 61 m² or above. |
| Living room | Enough space for seating, dining and clear circulation. Not a furniture obstacle course. |
Security and communal features
- Secure entry system with audit trail or visitor log.

Better tenant experience
Good homes reduce cost, conflict and crisis demand.
Reliable broadband, durable finishes, efficient appliances and proper storage sound ordinary. In supported housing, ordinary done properly is usually what stops the wheels coming off.
- Communal broadband and digital-inclusion starter packs.
- LED lighting, efficient white goods and water-saving fittings.
- Commercial vinyl or equivalent in high-traffic areas.
- Hard-wearing kitchen units and easy-clean sanitaryware.
- Anti-slip bathroom finishes.
- Adequate bedroom and communal storage.
- Acoustic treatments where noise transfer is a risk.
- Robust communal entrance door sets and anti-tamper hardware.
Audit readiness
Evidence held property by property.
The best specification in the world is useless if nobody can evidence it. Each home needs a compliance folder, digital and/or physical, that can support audit, inspection and management review.
