At Thorntons, we have one of biggest social housing teams in Scotland, with our cross-disciplinary team including specialists across the firm to meet the full range of clients’ legal needs. We have been closely involved in the social housing movement since the 1960s, and the commitment to the sector continues to this day, with members of the team on housing association boards and Thorntons a member of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations.
We regularly provide Registered Social Landlords with advice on land and stock acquisitions, and housing management, including contentious tenancy issues, and our full-service approach enables the team to handle a wide range of funding, procurement, corporate governance, employment and data protection issues. With all legal services in one place, clients can easily access all the legal advice and support they need.
Members of our team currently act for housing associations who together own or manage well over 100,000 homes and have worked with several of our housing association clients since their formation, including a community-led group supported by a local authority and a tenant-led association supported by the local authority and Scottish Homes. We also undertake work for local authorities, including advice on the marketing and evaluation procedures required for the New Supply Shared Equity Scheme.
