The tables below provide statistics on the sales of social housing stock – whether owned by local authorities or private registered providers. The most common of these sales are by the Right to Buy (and preserved Right to Buy) scheme and there are separate tables for sales under that scheme.
The tables for Right to Buy, tables 691, 692 and 693, are now presented in annual versions to reflect changes to the data collection following consultation. The previous quarterly tables can be found in the discontinued tables section below.
From April 2005 to March 2021 there are quarterly official statistics on Right to Buy sales – these are available in the quarterly version of tables 691, 692 and 693. From April 2021 onwards, following a consultation with local authorities, the quarterly data on Right to Buy sales are management information and not subject to the same quality assurance as official statistics and should not be treated the same as official statistics. These data are presented in tables in the ‘Right to Buy sales: management information’ below.

Notes on Local Authority Housing Statistics (LAHS) open data
These datafiles contain the underlying data used to create the main LAHS tables and reflect the latest revisions to historical LAHS data. There will therefore be some minor discrepancies when compared to individual historical publications of LAHS tables.
LAHS questions are represented in this open data file by the question codes as recorded in the latest form (the 2023-24 return). This may differ from the code they were originally assigned, but the aim is to facilitate a time series analysis. Variables that have been discontinued are usually not included in this file, with only a few exceptions where they provide information that helps understand other data.
A data dictionary for this open data can be found in the accessible Open Document Spreadsheet file.<

This indicator measures the number of non decent council homes and the proportion this represents of the total council housing stock. This is being calculated in order to demonstrate the progress towards making all council housing decent.

This statistical release presents the National Statistics on the stock owned by local authority registered providers in England on 31 March 2021. Based on data from the Regulator of Social Housing’s Local Authority Data Return, it provides details of local authority registered provider owned stock and details rents reported for low cost rental stock (social and Affordable Rents).
The release comprises a briefing note, a dynamic look-up tool (Excel based) allowing users to view details of stock in individual local authority areas and regions, additional data tables, raw data from the LADR and technical documentation.
The statistics derived from the LADR data and published as local authority registered provider social housing stock and rents in England are considered by the United Kingdom Statistics Authority’s regulatory arm – the Office for Statistics Regulation – to have met the highest standards of trustworthiness, quality and public value, and are considered a national statistic. For more information see the data quality and methodology note.
The responsible statistician for this statistical release was Amanda Hall. The lead official was Will Perry.
These statistics are based on data from the LADR. This return, which was collected by the RSH for the first time in 2020, collects data on stock size, types, location and rents as at 31 March. All registered local authority providers of social housing in England are required to complete the LADR, providing the regulator with data on stock and rent levels in order that it may regulate social housing rents.
Prior to 2020, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (formerly MHCLG) published similar statistics on stock and rents for local authorities based on data collected through their Local Authority Housing Statistic. The differences in collection methodology between the LADR and LAHS and the statistical methodology employed between MHCLG, DLUHC and RSH statistical releases are explored in detail in the technical notes.

The Council is required to publish this information under the Local Government Transparency Code 2015 set out by the Department of Local Government (DCLG), now the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). The Council has followed this guidance on data protection when compiling this information. The guidance requires the data for individual postcode sectors to be merged so that each postcode sector or merged postcode sectors contains at least 2,500 households. It also requires the data for valuation bands to be combined when the number of occupied social housing properties in any valuation band is less than 10. The data is merged with the next lowest valuation band so that no individual valuation band contains the data for less than 10 properties. This guidance requires Councils to explain the difference between the tenanted sale value of dwellings within the Housing Revenue Account and their market sale value and to include assurance that the publication of this information is not intended to suggest that tenancies should end to realise the market value of properties. The market value is the Council’s estimate of the total sum that it would receive if all the dwellings were sold on the open market. The existing use value for social housing value (EUV-SH) is calculated on the basis of rents receivable on existing tenancies. These are less than the rent that would be obtainable on the open market, and the EUV-SH value is therefore lower than the market value. The difference between the two values therefore shows the economic cost of providing housing at less than market value.
The NYC Department of City Planning’s (DCP) Housing Database contains all NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) approved housing construction and demolition jobs filed or completed in NYC since January 1, 2010. It includes the three primary construction job types that add or remove residential units: new buildings, major alterations, and demolitions, and can be used to determine the change in legal housing units across time and space. Records in the Housing Database Project-Level Files are geocoded to the greatest level of precision possible, subject to numerous quality assurance and control checks, recoded for usability, and joined to other housing data sources relevant to city planners and analysts. Data are updated semiannually, at the end of the second and fourth quarters of each year. Please see DCP’s annual Housing Production Snapshot summarizing findings from the 21Q4 data release here. Additional Housing and Economic analyses are also available. The NYC Department of City Planning’s (DCP) Housing Database Unit Change Summary Files provide the net change in Class A housing units since 2010, and the count of units pending completion for commonly used political and statistical boundaries (Census Block, Census Tract, City Council district, Community District, Community District Tabulation Area (CDTA), Neighborhood Tabulation Area (NTA). These tables are aggregated from the DCP Housing Database Project-Level Files, which is derived from Department of Buildings (DOB) approved housing construction and demolition jobs filed or completed in NYC since January 1, 2010. Net housing unit change is calculated as the sum of all three construction job types that add or remove residential units: new buildings, major alterations, and demolitions. These files can be used to determine the change in legal housing units across time and space.

A dataset providing Leeds City Council houses by address, includes build date, property type, property size and type, suitable for pets, heating type, restriction on who the property can be let to, number of times a property has become vacant and then let in the last 3 years and the weekly rent charge by banding.
This data set was produced as a one off for the city intelligence innovation lab but has been updated in 2019 for a housing project. Due to a change in reporting the 2019 report does not include the Suitable for Pets or Lettings Restriction information.

This dataset comprises new general needs lettings, let at social rent levels owned by Local Authorities, classified by source of referral.
These data are for new social housing lettings at the local authority area level, and are derived from record level data recorded through the COntinous REcording of social housing lettings. They cover new General Needs lettings, at social rent levels, owned by Local Authorities (LAs). All figures are unweighted and are therefore not fully consistent with the weighted social rent data at national level in the 'Social Housing Lettings in England' statistical release.
Some Local Authority areas are missing from the Local Authority owned datasets due to there being either no LA owned lettings in that area, or there being too few lettings in an area for the data to be released, as it is deemed disclosive.
Data are given for the source of referral of each general needs social rent LA letting. Some variables have been grouped into 'Other' for disclosure purposes due to their sensitive nature and/or risk of re-identification.
