The Scottish Government does not hold information centrally on how many private sector or local authority residential properties have been, or are waiting to be, assessed for suitability for return to use as homes.
However the number of registered social landlord (RSL) properties waiting to be assessed for return to use is recorded annually through the Annual Performance and Statistical Return (APSR) and the figures for the latest year are shown in Table 1 by local authority area.
