Enhancing Scotland's Housing Quality: Consultations and Legislative Developments

In September 2013, we launched a vision for housing in Scotland aiming to ensure that everyone can live in high-quality, sustainable, and affordable homes. Key consultations focused on the Right to Buy, management of affordable rented housing, and a strategy for the private rented sector. The Housing Bill outlines crucial actions, legislative processes, and enhancements in housing dispute resolution, mobile home site licensing, and local authority powers. This summary captures the stages of parliamentary scrutiny and the collaborative efforts to improve housing outcomes for all.
