Description: | <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>The <i>English Housing Survey</i> (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 EHS brings together two previous survey series into a single fieldwork operation: the <i>English House Condition Survey</i> (EHCS) (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33158) and the <i>Survey of English Housing</i> (SEH) (available under GN 33277). The EHS covers all housing tenures and provides valuable information and evidence to inform the development and monitoring of the department'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. <br> <br> The EHS has a complex multi-stage methodology consisting of two main elements; an initial interview survey of around 14,000 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 <i>Private Landlords Survey</i> (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).<br> <br> 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. <br> <br> <I>End User Licence and Special Licence Versions:</I><br> From 2014 data onwards, the End User Licence (EUL) versions of the EHS only include derived variables. In addition the number of variables on the EUL datasets from that date has been reduced and disclosure control increased on certain remaining variables. The new Special Licence versions of the EHS, which are subject to more restrictive access conditions, are of a similar nature to EHS EUL datasets prior to 2014 and include both derived and raw datasets.<br> <br> Further information about the EHS and the latest news, reports and tables can be found on the GOV.UK <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/english-housing-survey" title ="English Housing Survey (EHS)">English Housing Survey </a> web pages.<br> <br> <p><span style="font-style: italic;">The English Housing Survey, 2018: Housing Stock Data: Special Licence Access</span> is available for all cases where a physical survey has been completed. For occupied cases the data comprises information from the household interview and from the physical survey. For vacant properties only, data from the physical survey are provided. The Special Licence version includes raw interview and physical datasets and derived data, whereas the EUL version (SN 8670) only includes derived variables. Users are advised to obtain SN 8670 to see whether it is suitable for their needs before making an application for the Special Licence version.<br><br>The data are made available for a two-year rolling sample i.e. approximately 12,000 cases together with the appropriate two-year weights. For example, the EHS Housing Stock results presented here are for 2018, but cover the period April 2017 to March 2019. This means that if you use more than one housing stock dataset, you must use either odd or even years. For example, you need to use the Housing Stock Dataset for '2012' and '2014' or '2013' and '2015', but not the dataset for '2014' and '2013' as you would double-count the cases surveyed between April 2013 and March 2014. The Housing Stock dataset should be used for any analysis requiring information relating to the physical characteristics and energy efficiency of the housing stock. Derived datasets provide key analytical variables compiled post-fieldwork including energy efficiency ratings, decent home indicators and equivalised income.<br><br>Users who only require data from the household interview should use the <span style="font-style: italic;">English Housing Survey, 2018-2019: Household Data</span> EUL or Special Licence versions (SNs 8669 and 8719 respectively).<br> </p> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> <p class="x_MsoNormal"><span>The EHS Housing survey consists of two components.</span><span><br> <br> <i>Interview Survey (Household)</i></span></p> <p class="x_MsoNormal"><i><span>An interview is first conducted with the householder.
