Recommendation 57

We recommend that a successor Committee undertake a comprehensive review of the work of the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR). Ideally, this could take place in the first or second year of the Session and provide a platform on which to build ongoing information gathering and assessment. We suggest this should include hearing from the stakeholders we have written to previously to ensure they have a regular opportunity to provide their views on the work of the SHR. As stated previously, we believe our successor committee should monitor the position of housing cooperatives within Scotland’s housing sector, in particular what actions the SHR and the Scottish Government take to ensure that the sector is able to grow.
