The Scottish Housing Regulator has published a summary of the main areas of work it plans to do during 2026/27.
Aligned to the priorities set out in its 2024 – 2027 Strategy, the Regulator said its plans are focused on delivering its statutory regulatory functions, listening to tenants, service users and other stakeholders, as well as being an effective public body.
This year, the Regulator is also reviewing how it works to reflect its resource allocation, and it will prepare a new Strategy for implementation in 2028.
Garry Coutts, chair of the Scottish Housing Regulator, said: “We will continue to take account of the big challenges facing tenants and social landlords, including cost inflation, rent affordability, and the acute problems around homelessness.
“In the coming year, we will have a strong regulatory focus on the quality and safety of homes that social landlords provide to tenants and their families. We will work with all our stakeholders to support the delivery of good quality social housing outcomes and shared objectives across the sector.”
