Survey of English Housing

Abstract

The main aims of the English Housing Survey ( SEH) were to provide regular information about the main features of people's housing and their views about their circumstances, and information about the private rented sector (not covered by routine administrative statistics like the owner-occupied and social rented sectors). From 2008, the SEH merged with the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) to form the new English Housing Survey (EHS). The final fieldwork year for the SEH was 2007-2008.

Main Topics/Subject Category
The SEH comprises a main core of factual questions that remain largely unchanged from year to year, and cover tenure, type of accommodation, household and personal characteristics, tenure, second homes, moves, repossessions, satisfaction with the accommodation and area, waiting lists for council or housing association housing, owner occupation, social sector tenants, and private renters. The survey also carries a set of attitudinal questions which are revised/rotated each year.
