How we are performing
As a social housing provider and charity, we’re regulated by two bodies in Scotland: the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) and the Scottish Charity Regulator. We work with both these regulators to make sure that we deliver the right homes and services to our customers.
Every year we produce a report to keep our customers informed on how well we have performed against the Scottish Social Housing Charter.
Scottish Housing Regulator
The Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) is an independent regulator who protects the rights of people using services provided by social landlords, like us.
They set the standards of how we operate, manage risk, maintain financial viability, deliver good quality homes and ensure value for money for our customers. This is measured through our performance against the regulatory requirements, Scottish Social Housing Charter and our Annual Assurance Statement. Our performance information can be found on the SHR website.
Scottish Charity Regulator
We’re regulated by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) OSCR is an independent regulator and registrar for Scotland’s charities whose role is to protect public confidence in charities and their work. Visit the OSCR website for our charitable status details.
The Housing (Scotland) Act
The Housing (Scotland) Act 2014 received Royal Assent on 1 August 2014. A range of amendments were made to the original Housing (Scotland) Bill during the parliamentary process, many of them were suggested by tenants. The Act has the objectives of “safeguarding the interests of consumers, supporting improved quality and delivering better outcomes for communities.” The Scottish Government sees the Act as contributing to their vision that all people in Scotland live in high-quality, sustainable homes that they can afford and that meet their needs.
Our Performance
At BHA, we always aim high.
One of our strategic aims is to ‘Deliver Outstanding Customer Experience’ in everything we do.
We are committed to continually improving our performance. It’s important to us to be open and transparent about how we’re doing. That’s why we share our results here, so everyone can read it. We’re driven to achieve more for our customers. Not just maintaining the high standards we set ourselves, but going the extra mile – finding new ways to deliver a better performance.
Whilst we are proud of the high levels of customer satisfaction our teams and services receive, we are committed to addressing areas of relatively low satisfaction and strive to ensure continuous improvement across all the services we provide.
We thank all customers who have contributed valuable feedback on their experience of our services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
All questions in the survey are set by the Scottish Housing Regulator. They are identical for each housing association to enable easy comparison across the organisations.
We carry out a customer survey every year. For many years, we had done this informally and, as a result, received low response levels of 10-12%. While our scores were generally higher in these surveys, we felt it was important to encourage more responses which would in turn enable us to build up a more accurate picture of how we are performing from a customer perspective. Now, all annual satisfaction surveys are carried out by independent research firms with a target of achieving 40% return rate.
