EVIDENCE ON THE SUPPLY OF SHARED ACCOMMODATION IN
SCOTLAND: Update June 2011
Introduction
1.
From January 2012 single people without dependants aged 25-34 entitled to
Local Housing Allowance will have their benefit restricted to rent for a room in
shared accommodation. At present single people in this age group are entitled to rent
for 1 bedroom accommodation. DWP statistics provide information on numbers of
benefit recipients who will be affected by this change. To assess the possible impact
of the change we also need estimates of the supply of rooms in shared
accommodation.
2.
There is no administrative source which gives complete information on the
current availability of shared accommodation. Two previous papers “Estimated
Availability of shared accommodation1 “ and “Proportion of shared private rented
accommodation occupied by students2 “ provided respectively broad estimates of the
annual supply of shared accommodation and the estimated supply of all student
accommodation within this for each local authority area in Scotland.
3.
This paper provides a brief recap of these estimates and adds evidence from
DWP statistics on numbers of all ages currently occupying shared accommodation
and evidence from the Scottish Household Survey on adults in shared
accommodation. Taken together, these are used to provide consolidated broad
estimates of the current annual supply of shared accommodation excluding all student
accommodation. Estimates are provided at local authority level and by broad urban/
rural area type.
Estimate from HMO registration and 2001 census data
HMO Registrations
4.
Any private rented property let to 3 or more unrelated adults must be
registered, inspected and licensed by the local authority in which it is located. In an
annual statistical return to the Scottish Government local authorities supply details of
HMO licenses in force on 31 March each year. Table 1 gives the position for each
local authority on 31 March 2010.
5.
From the table it can be seen that some HMO licenses relate to
accommodation which would not be relevant to those aged 25-34 on LHA such as
student halls of residence, sheltered accommodation and nurses homes. Relevant
HMO categories are landlords with lodgers, bedsits, flats or houses let as a whole and
hostels. Table 2 gives the total number of licenses in force at 31 March 2010 for these
categories3 in each local authority area.

It wasn’t possible to separate out these categories for Midlothian so the figure in the table covers all
licensed HMOs in Midlothian.
Estimating the number of places
6.
Key limitations in the use of the HMO statistics in assessing the supply of
shared accommodation are that they do not have information on the number of places
available in the shared accommodation and they do not give information on the
supply of shared accommodation for 2 unrelated adults.
7.
The previous paper set out a methodology using information from the 2001
Census to derive an estimate of the availability of the supply of shared
accommodation for 2 unrelated adults.
8.
Table 3 shows the estimated supply of places in shared accommodation
derived from HMO licensing and the 2 adult shared accommodation methodology.
Overall, places in licensed HMOs account for about ¾ and places in shared
accommodation with 2 unrelated adults sharing account for about ¼ of the estimated
number of places available in shared accommodation.
Adjusting for all student households
9.
The market for shared private rented accommodation for students is likely to
be, in the main, a different market from that for shared accommodation for those on
housing benefit. This is, in part, because all student households are exempt from
council tax but that 1 non-student in the household makes all liable for council tax.
Also, in many cases, groups of students jointly arrange to share.
10.
Table 4 shows for each local authority area in Scotland an estimate from the
Scottish Household Survey of the number of all student households as a percentage of
the number of households with 2 or more unrelated4 adults sharing. This confirms
that student households account for a high proportion of shared accommodation in
councils with high numbers of students with the strongest impact in Fife and Stirling.
Table 5 shows the estimated stock of places in shared accommodation in each local
authority area after excluding the estimated number of places in student
accommodation.
Evidence from DWP statistics on availability of shared accommodation
11.
The DWP impact assessment published in May 2011 gives, for the first time,
information on the total number of benefit recipients receiving housing benefit for
shared accommodation in each local authority area. The information is for claimants
in shared accommodation in March 2010. The technical note to the DWP analysis
states that the estimate is based in part on the rent paid rather than whether the
accommodation has been flagged as shared accommodation in the administrative
record.
12.
Table 6 shows the DWP estimate of the total number of housing benefit
recipients who are receiving the shared room rate in each local authority area and
compares this with the HMO based estimate of the stock of shared accommodation
excluding all student accommodation. In a number of local authority areas – most
notably in North and South Ayrshire and North and South Lanarkshire – the number
on housing benefit on shared room rate is significantly higher than the estimate
derived from HMO registrations. Possible explanations for these differences are:4
Strictly this is 2 adult households where the 2 adults are not a couple.



In these areas differences between the shared room and 1 bedroom rates are
relatively small so the DWP methodology may not be distinguishing clearly
between households in low rent 1 bedroom and shared room
accommodation;
The assumptions used in the methodology about the continuing relationship
between 2 bedroom and 3+ bedroom HMOs may not apply in these areas;
There may be significant numbers of unregistered HMOs in these areas.
Evidence from the Scottish Household Survey
13.
The Scottish Household Survey provides information on the household
composition of each household together with the relationship of each household
member to the highest income householder in the household. From this information it
is possible to identify the number of households in the survey which contain unrelated
adults. Within this it is also possible to distinguish all student households from other
all households comprising unrelated adults.
14.
Table 7 shows, from Scottish Household Survey samples between 2005 and
2008, for each local authority area in Scotland, the proportion of private rented
households which were non-student households comprising unrelated adults. The
tables also shows the average household size of such households. It is notable that, as
in the analyses of administrative sources, the proportions are highest in the city areas.
It is also important to note that in 4 local authority areas there were no such
households in the survey. The fact than no such households were found in the survey
confirms that there is a relatively low share of such households, but means that we
can’t use the SHS to improve the estimate in these areas.
15.
Table 8 uses the information in table 7 together with information from private
landlord registration to derive a Scottish Household Survey based estimate of the
stock of available places in shared accommodation in each local authority area.
A consolidated estimate of the number of shared accommodation places
16.
Each of the estimates of the supply of places has its strengths and
weaknesses: The estimate based on HMO registrations and 2001 Census depends on the
completeness of HMO registrations and on the stability over time of the
relationship between 2 and 3+ bedroom HMOs.
 The DWP figure for numbers in shared accommodation is based on rent paid
and, in some areas may be picking up people in lower rent 1 bedroom
accommodation.
 The Scottish household survey based estimate is subject to sampling error.
The margin of sampling error is highest in the areas with the smallest number
of private rented properties in the survey.
17.
Taken together, the approach taken to derive a consolidated local authority
level estimate – given in table 9 - is: Take the average of the SHS and HMO derived estimate.
 If the DWP figure for the number on HB in shared accommodation is
greater than the HMO derived estimate use the HB figure.
Converting the estimated number of places into an estimated annual supply of
places in each local authority area
18.
The analysis in table 9 gives the estimated stock of places in shared
accommodation. The Scottish Household Survey also provides information on the
proportion of adults in private rented accommodation who have been in the
accommodation for under a year. This is a good proxy for the annual turnover of
private rented accommodation. Table 10 uses this turnover information to provide
a consolidated estimate of the number of places in shared accommodation
becoming available each year in each local authority area.
Estimated number of places by area type
19.
The Scottish Household Survey identifies the urban/ rural area type in which
each household in the survey is located. Table [cc] uses information on the area type
of respondents to the 2005 – 2008 Scottish Household Surveys to derive a broad
estimate of the number of places in shared accommodation becoming available each
year in rural areas and remote small towns.
Summary and conclusion
20.
This paper has drawn on a wide range of sources of administrative and survey
data to compile broad estimates of the annual supply of places in shared
accommodation. The broad pattern of relatively high supply in the city areas and low
supply in most other local authority areas is borne out by both administrative and
survey sources. However, the uncertainty in these centrally derived estimates points to
the need for local authorities to make their own assessments of supply drawing on
local knowledge and intelligence.
