Foster, K.
Has the devolution made a difference? The pace of change in Scottish housing policy - 2004 - Housing Finance (63) Autumn 2004,58-69 (12) .
Examines Scottish Executive activity in the private housing and social rented sectors in Scotland since devolution in 1999. Takes an in-depth look at the Housing Improvement Task Force's comprehensive review of housing policy relating to the condition of Scottish private sector housing, the first since 1967. Gives an overview of: the proposed content of the forthcoming Private Sector Housing Bill, now being consulted on; discusses the effect of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001; stock transfer in the social rented sector; and the review of affordable housing in Scotland. Concludes that the housing agenda has been a top priority for the Scottish Parliament and evaluates the success of the initiatives taken. Charts and tables cover: Scottish housing tenure; private lending to registered social landlords; loan approvals to the social sector; right to buy sales; mortgage payments; and house prices in relation to income.
