Tackling Scotland’s Housing Challenges

At Hacking and Paterson Management Services (HPMS), we understand that housing is about more than just property management — it’s a foundation for thriving communities and economic growth.
A recent report commissioned by the David Hume Institute and authored by Professor Duncan Maclennan CBE highlights the urgent need for decisive action on housing across Scotland. The paper explores how improving housing quality and availability is key to securing long-term economic prosperity and reducing inequality.

As dedicated property factors, we believe it’s important to keep our customers informed about the wider issues affecting housing in Scotland. We encourage you to read the full report to better understand the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Together, we can support a future where everyone benefits from safe, well-managed homes.
