Why we are engaging with West of Scotland Housing Association Ltd (West of Scotland)
We are engaging with West of Scotland about its transfer of engagements from Charing Cross Housing Association Ltd (Charing Cross).
Following a successful ballot of tenants, Charing Cross transferred its engagements to West of Scotland on 1 August 2022 and the former was removed from the Register of Social Landlords on 20 December 2022. Since then we have monitored the progress of the integration of Charing Cross into West of Scotland and the delivery of the commitments that West of Scotland has made to Charing Cross’s tenants and service users.
What West of Scotland must do
West of Scotland must send us quarterly updates on progress with the delivery of the commitments West of Scotland has made to Charing Cross’s tenants and service users.
What we will do
We will:
-
review the updates on the delivery of the commitments West of Scotland has made to Charing Cross’s tenants and service users and engage as necessary; and
-
update our published engagement plan in the light of any material change to our planned engagement with West of Scotland.
Regulatory Returns
West of Scotland must provide us with the following annual regulatory returns and alerts us to notifiable events as appropriate:
-
Annual Assurance Statement;
-
audited financial statements and external auditor’s management letter;
-
loan portfolio return;
-
five year financial projections; and
-
Annual Return on the Charter.
It should also notify us of any material changes to its Annual Assurance Statement, and any tenant and resident safety matter which has been reported to or is being investigated by the Health and Safety Executive or reports from regulatory or statutory authorities or insurance providers, relating to safety concerns.
