Surveys

The Scottish Government has commissioned social research agency The Lines Between to explore experiences of housing affordability among renters in Scotland. 

We are looking for individuals who currently rent a residential property in Scotland (either through a private or social landlord) to take part in an online focus group or interview exploring:

• what affordable housing means to you
• your experiences of housing affordability/unaffordability
• factors affecting your ability to meet housing costs
• your housing aspirations for the future

The focus groups and interviews will take place in mid-late August and will be scheduled in the evenings.

All participants will receive a £50 shopping voucher as a thank you for taking part. Participants can choose from Amazon, Aldi, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s or Morrisons; no cash payments will be offered.

If you are interested in participating in the research, please complete the following form. It is a brief questionnaire which contains questions about your demographics (e.g. age, gender) and housing/financial situation. This will help us to determine eligibility for the study and ensure a diverse sample of participants. Once you have completed the form, one of our researchers will contact you to let you know if you have been selected to take part and arrange a quick call to discuss arrangements if so.
