The 2010 Private Landlord Survey is a national survey of landlords and managing agents who own and/or manage privately rented properties in England. The aim of the survey is to provide a snap-shot of the composition and experience of landlords and how they (together with any agent) acquire, let, manage and maintain privately rented accommodation.

The English Housing Survey (EHS) is a continuous national survey commissioned by the Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government (MHCLG) that collects information about people's housing circumstances and the condition and energy efficiency of housing in England. The EHS brings together two previous survey series into a single fieldwork operation: the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33158) and the Survey of English Housing (SEH) (available under GN 33277). The EHS covers all housing tenures. The information obtained through the survey provides an accurate picture of people living in the dwelling, and their views on housing and their neighbourhoods. The survey is also used to inform the development and monitoring of the Ministry's housing policies. Results from the survey are also used by a wide range of other users including other government departments, local authorities, housing associations, landlords, academics, construction industry professionals, consultants, and the general public.

The EHS has a complex multi-stage methodology consisting of two main elements; an initial interview survey of around 12,000 households and a follow-up physical inspection. Some further elements are also periodically included in or derived from the EHS: for 2008 and 2009, a desk-based market valuation was conducted of a sub-sample of 8,000 dwellings (including vacant ones), but this was not carried out from 2010 onwards. A periodic follow-up survey of private landlords and agents (the Private Landlords Survey (PLS)) is conducted using information from the EHS interview survey. Fuel Poverty datasets are also available from 2003, created by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).

The EHS interview survey sample formed part of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS) (available from the Archive under GN 33420) from April 2008 to April 2011. During this period the core questions from the IHS formed part of the EHS questionnaire.

Safeguarded and Special Licence Versions:
From 2014 data onwards, the Safeguarded versions (previously known as End User Licence (EUL)) of the EHS will only include derived variables. In addition the number of variables on the new EUL datasets has been reduced and disclosure control increased on certain remaining variables. New Special Licence versions of the EHS will be deposited later in the year, which will be of a similar nature to previous EHS EUL datasets and will include derived and raw datasets.

Further information about the EHS and the latest news, reports and tables can be found on the GOV.UK English Housing Survey web pages.

The Private Landlords Survey, 2010 (PLS), commissioned by the DCLG and carried out by ONS, was a national survey of landlords and managing agents who own and/or manage privately rented properties in England. The aim of the survey was to provide a snapshot of the composition and experience of landlords and how they (together with any agent) acquire, let, manage and maintain privately rented accommodation. A similar survey of private landlords was carried out by the DCLG (or predecessors) in the years 2001, 2003 and 2006 (only the 2010 survey is currently held at the UK Data Archive). As with previous years, the 2010 survey was based on information collated on DCLG's main housing survey. Respondents taking part in the ECHS 2007-2008 (see under SN 6449) and the EHS 2008-2009 (see under SN 7040) who were recorded as private renters were asked to provide details of their landlord. These details formed the main sample for the 2010 PLS.

The Private Rented Sector has grown considerably over the last 25 years and is now a crucial part of the UK's housing mix. The sector provides easily accessible accommodation for young, mobile, transient populations, but is increasingly being used to provide long term accommodation for vulnerable groups who in earlier times might have been able to access local authority or housing association accommodation. An online survey was selected as the principal data collection tool for the research. The resulting raw data has been attached as an SPSS Statistics Data Document.

This dataset contains the results and analysis of the landlord survey regarding the "Acomb Front Street Adopted and Privately Maintained Highway Footpath Areas" that ran between March 2023 and September 2023.

Void periods constitute an important measure for the private rental markets, as they are one of the major reasons for the loss of expected rental income. They require careful planning and budgeting, to keep the time when the property is not achieving profit to the minimum and to make sure that all necessary expenses are still covered during the void period. As these differ across cities, towns and regions, researching of historical data, reflecting trends of void periods for the local area is seen as a good way to get an understanding of long-term trends.

Void periods for landlords in the UK

Data from the end of 2013 till quarter three of 2018 shows that void periods in the United Kingdom (UK) were shortest as of the first quarter of 2015, counting 2.4 weeks on average. They grew in length to 2.7 weeks in the last two quarters of 2016 and have stayed at that time length up until the fourth quarter of 2017. As of the third quarter of 2019, the average void period for landlords in the private rented sector amounted to 3 weeks, the highest average during the period under display.

Landlords and the rental market

In light of the coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, approximately 3.4 percent of current and active landlords in the UK reported an increase in void periods and 16.4 percent that they experienced a combination of prolonged void periods and affected rental income. As of the fourth quarter of 2019, landlords already had low confidence in achieving their quarterly goals. The share of those who were planning to sell properties from their portfolio in the coming year was twice as high as the ones looking to buy.

The quarterly releases present statistics on possession actions issued in county courts by mortgage lenders and social and private landlords in England and Wales. Note that the figures represent court actions for possession and not actual homes repossessed, as not all possession orders are enforced.

Median monthly rental prices for the private rental market in England by bedroom category, region and administrative area, calculated using data from the Valuation Office Agency and Office for National Statistics.

This report estimates the size of the UK’s residential landlord insurance market and explores how it has changed in recent years at a time when the buy-to-let sector has been hit by a host of regulatory changes. The tightening of regulation has led to a shift in the profile of landlords, which in turn has changed their insurance needs. The report discusses drivers of the buy-to-let and private residential markets, which directly impact the private landlord insurance market. The report presents market size forecast data out to 2025.

The English Private Landlord Survey (EPLS) is a national survey commissioned by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). It surveys private landlords and letting agents in England, and collects information about their circumstances, their properties, their tenants, and the possible impact of legislative and policy changes in the sector. The aim of the EPLS is to inform government understanding of the characteristics and experiences of landlords and how they acquire, let, manage and maintain privately rented accommodation.

Although the EPLS explores similar issues to previous government private landlord surveys, carried out in 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2010 (the 2010 study is available under SN 7114), it uses a new method and approach. Whereas previous surveys used face-to-face and telephone interviews with the sample drawn from the English Housing Survey, the EPLS uses an online survey with the sample drawn from landlords and agents with deposits registered with one of the three government-backed Tenancy Deposit Protection (TDP) schemes.

More information about this survey can be found on the GOV.UK English Private Landlord Survey webpage.
