Average Rent Charges

The Association compares our rents with the Scottish wide averages which the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) produces and publishes by September each year.  We have also worked with the Scottish Housing Network (SHN) and with the other local Drumchapel housing providers (Drumcog) to provide further comparable benchmarking data.  The benchmarking data below relates to charges applied during 2016/17.

The Association is keen to ensure that the rents we charge represent value for money to our tenants. We were very pleased with the response from our tenants in the 2016 tenant satisfaction survey where 94% thought that their rent represented good value for money (3% gave a neutral response and only 3% thought the value for money was poor). This result compares very well to the national average of 82% and our 2013 result of 79%.

The Association's average rent charges for the last two years are detailed below.  All our current rents pass the Scottish Federation of Housing Association (SFHA) affordability test which checks to see if rents are affordable to tenants and prospective tenants.
