Estate inspections
East Homes encourages residents to take part in inspections. All inspectors are trained in what to look out for. Once an estate or scheme has been inspected it is then awarded either Gold, Silver, Bronze or Unclassified status.

How do you decide if my estate is a Gold estate?
Below are some of the criteria that your estate will be marked against when being inspected. It will then be graded Gold, Silver or Bronze depending on its score. Any areas preventing your estate from meeting all the criteria will be taken up by your neighbourhood manager.
