Aberdeen City Council housing and homelessness services
Council-home safety and empty-home improvements
The housing regulator is monitoring electrical safety work, long waits to re-let empty homes and pressure on homelessness services. Its April 2026 plan requires further improvement.
Regulatory monitoring and improvement requirements; resolution not verified · evidence dated 2026-04-02
Responsible body: Aberdeen City Council, monitored by the Scottish Housing Regulator
Latest evidence: The regulator asks for monthly updates on electrical inspection work and quarterly engagement on homelessness. It also requires better performance on re-letting and rent arrears. These are reported concerns, not findings that every home is unsafe.

Have at least one valid census comparison with the whole council. Missing measures stay visible.
Read the neighbourhood evidence →3 reviewed plans and projects
3 have a source-dated stage; 0 have some funding evidence; 0 have some cost evidence. These counts do not prove that funding or costs are complete.

Project locations cannot be treated as a map of who benefits. Each record explains any verified ward association.

The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.
Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.
Project locations have not been matched to official ward boundaries. No ward-specific delivery claims are inferred.
Costs, funding and benefits are only reported where the selected official evidence states them; blank fields are not zero.
Some dated project updates have elapsed target dates. A newer completion record is needed before changing their delivery status.
The regulator’s April 2026 requirements are retained as dated concerns. Current outstanding safety-work counts and evidence that the concerns have been resolved have not been verified.
