Examine this comparison of the housing stock profile and condition statistics from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, together with a quantification of the total repair bill and cost of poor housing in the UK. Author: Justine Piddington, Helen Garrett and Tad Nowak Publish Date: 12/16/2013 ISBN: 978-1-84806-330-3 Abstract: There is a regular call for UK housing statistics to compare them with other countries. However, statistics in the UK are compiled from the four separate and different housing stock surveys in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England and are difficult to combine as a unified whole. This report addresses a UK comparison to explain the, sometimes surprising, differences between the housing stocks, and quantifies the total repair bill and cost of poor housing to the UK. Using the results of the English Housing Survey, Northern Ireland House Condition Survey, Living in Wales survey and Scottish House Condition Survey, the report provides key information on the housing stock profile and condition.
