To ask the Scottish Government what percentage of (a) local authority and (b) registered social landlord homes meet the Scottish Housing Quality Standard.
The performance of social landlords is monitored by the independent Scottish Housing Regulator and not the Scottish Government.
However, the most recent report from the Scottish Housing Regulator showed that the number of homes that meet Scottish Housing Quality Standards increased (87%) for the third consecutive year, with fewer homes failing, exempt or in abeyance from Scottish Housing Quality Standards.
More of Registered Social Landlords’ homes meet Scottish Housing Quality Standards than Local Authorities’ (92% compared to 83%, respectively).
A fuller breakdown can be found on the Scottish Housing Regulator website in the national reports section.
