23 The Scottish Landlord Register is used to identify the number of private rented households in this table, as it is the most up to date data available (March 2024). There are some limitations of this data source, such as the fact that registrations last for a period of three years and there could be a time lag in landlords de-registering properties which are no longer available for rent. Also, in the case of any landlords looking to leave the sector or reduce their portfolio, it should also be recognised that the process could take several months from freeing up properties to completing sales.

24 The number of dwellings to create percentages of all dwellings is sourced from Households and Dwellings in Scotland, 2023, Report (nrscotland.gov.uk)

25 Using the most up to date available, March 2022 data is used to look at the social rented sector. Statistics are taken from the Scottish Governments stock by tenure statistics, and the underlying data is from the Scottish Housing Regulator and local authority returns.

31 The 2022 UK MIS value for a couple with 2 children ranges from £21,380 to £44,000 based on the age of children in the household. For this analysis a midpoint value of £26,730 was chosen which represents a couple with two primary school aged children (aged 5-11 inclusive).
