Local Authority Housing Income & Expenditure

  • There will be an estimated 320,200 council houses in Scotland on 30 September 2009.
  • The 292,800 reduction in council housing stock in the 12 years between 30 September 1997 and 30 September 2009 was mainly due to a combination of around 150,000 sales to sitting tenants, around 100,000 houses transferred to housing associations and around 40,000 demolitions.
  • Average council rent in 2009-10 is £52.67 per week, ranging from £40.77 per week in Moray to £63.59 in Edinburgh. Since 1997-98 council rents have increased by around 1% per year in real terms - i.e. above the Retail Prices Index.
  • Average expenditure on management and maintenance is expected to be £1,882 per house, an increase of 5% or £87 per house over 2008-09.
  • Councils project that they will lose around £17 million due to unlet houses in 2009-10. This represents 2% of standard rent income and is at about the same level as last year.
  • Rent arrears at 31 March 2008 represented 4.4% of standard rental income. Housing debt in Scotland is expected to increase by 11% in the year to March 2010 to reach £2,200 million.
