Scottish House Condition Survey

Collection of documents relating to the Scottish House Condition Survey.

Introduction

This is the largest single housing research project in Scotland, and the only national survey to look at the physical condition of Scotland's homes as well as the experiences of householders.

The survey fieldwork runs from January to December each year, with the survey now an integrated component of the Scottish Household Survey.

SHCS key findings

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics. The designation of the Scottish House Condition Survey as National Statistics was initially confirmed on 30 March 2010 following an assessment by the UK Statistics Authority and re-confirmed on the 16 October 2020 following a compliance check by the Office for Statistics Regulation. National Statistics status means that our statistics meet the highest standards of trustworthiness, quality and public value, and it is our responsibility to maintain compliance with these standards.
