The authority was given a C1 rating by the Regulator of Social Housing, making it one of the top-performing social landlords in the country.
It is one of only four councils in the country and two London boroughs to achieve the rating.
The Regulator of Social Housing’s inspection found the council met all four consumer standards, which include safety, quality, tenancy, neighbourhood and community engagement, and transparency.
It also praised the authority’s proactive approach to tenant safety, with 94 per cent of homes meeting the Decent Homes Standard, and a plan in place to reach 100pc by March 2026.
Councillor Ayten Guzel, cabinet member for housing, said: “We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition.
“This is a testament to the commitment we have shown to council housing, and the dedication and hard work of our housing teams.
“The strong relationships we have built with our residents puts us in a good position to drive further improvement.
“But, we are not complacent.
“A C1 rating is a landmark, not a destination.
“We know there is always more we can do, and we are committed to learning, listening and continuing to improve the services we provide to our residents.”
The inspection also found the council’s repairs service to be effective, a strong antisocial behaviour response, and commitment to tenant voice and influence.
Councillor Ergin Ergil, leader of the council, said: “I’m grateful to our housing team for all their hard work.
“It’s great to see that the progress we’ve made is being recognised.
“We want our tenants and leaseholders to have safe homes in good neighbourhoods.
“We’ll continue to take our housing services from strength to strength.
“We’ll keep listening to residents and keep working to make our housing estates and services even better.”
The regulator also found improvements to complaints handling and the use of tenant feedback to shape services.
