English Housing Survey
In April 2008 the Survey of English
Housing (SEH) merged with the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) to form
the new English Housing Survey (EHS). The English Housing Survey (EHS) is a continuous national survey commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) that collects information about people's housing circumstances and the condition and energy efficiency of housing in England.
The survey has a complex multi-stage methodology consisting of 3 main elements: an initial interview survey of around 17,000 households with a follow-up physical inspection and a desk-based market valuation of a sub-sample of 8,000 of these dwellings, including vacant dwellings. The interview survey sample forms part of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS), and the core questions from the IHS form part of the EHS questionnaire.
The Communities and Local Government web site contains some detailed
information about the English Housing Survey.
