Survey of English Housing (now the 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 final fieldwork year for the SEH was 2007/08. To find out more go to the EHS section of the Communities and Local Government web site.

The Survey of English Housing is a continuous annual survey, which began in 1993 and has a sample of 20,000 responding households each year.

It is a multi-purpose housing survey which provides a comprehensive range of basic information on households and their housing and full information on the private rented sector. Results are grossed to give estimates for all households. The Survey covers England and data are available for standard and Government Office regions.

Data are collected on the 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 National Statistics web site contains some detailed information about the survey.
