Scottish Housing Regulator
We're regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR). You can access all the information they hold on us, such as the new landlord reports, our full Charter return and how our performance compares to others.
The Scottish Housing Regulator has a guide on How we regulate: A guide for tenants and service users. They also have videos about who we are and what we do and how to raise a concern about a social landlord.
The Scottish Housing Regulator has also developed a factsheet explaining what a Significant Performance Failure is and how to report them.
All Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) must submit an Annual Assurance Statement to the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) by the end of October each year. This provides assurance that we are compliant with the relevant requirements of the SHR’s Regulatory Framework and details if there are any areas where further work is required. View our current Annual Assurance Statement.
If you would like more information or to discuss the statement in more detail please do not hesitate to contact us.
Scottish Social Housing Charter
The Scottish Social Housing Charter sets the standards and outcomes that all social landlords should aim to achieve when performing their housing activities.
It provides the basis for the Scottish Housing Regulator to assess and report on how well landlords are performing. This assessment enables the Regulator, social landlords, tenants and other customers to identify areas of strong performance and areas needing improvement. Each year we work with customers to assess our performance and produce the Annual Performance Report.
Annual Performance Report
We publish an annual report on our performance and how we meet the Scottish Social Housing Charter. This is collated with customers and submitted to the Scottish Housing Regulator by 31 October.
