The Scottish Housing Regulator regulates all social landlords in Scotland. They protect the interests of tenants, as well as people who face homelessness or who have bought their house from a council or housing association.
Their purpose is to:
• protect the interests of current and future tenants and other service users;
• ensure the continuing provision of good quality social housing, in terms of decent homes, good services, value for money, and financial viability; and
• maintain the confidence of funders.
By using the combined tools of inspection, public reporting, information and analysis, financial scrutiny and, where appropriate, direct intervention, they protect the interests of current and future tenants, and other service users.The SHR drive improvements in landlords’ efficiency and performance, and help to ensure that registered social landlords continue to attract private finance at competitive rates to build and improve affordable homes.

We are in the process of arranging an electronic version of our last inspection report.
