Thank you for your information enquiry of the above reference number.  Due

Please note that South Ayrshire Council’s Landlord Registration system is
provided by the Scottish Government and offers the following functions:

Registration teams

I can confirm that this online platform was wholly redeveloped and
re-launched in February 2017, and that information relating to
applications under the legacy system is no longer available. This

Ayrshire Councli.

With regards to information from February 2017, I can confirm as follows:
