Source:
Fordham Research Stock Condition Survey (2006) and CPC House Condition Survey (2009)
Date of data:
2006 and 2009
Data supplied:
2006 and 2010

 The results of the private sector stock condition survey carried out by Fordham Research in 2006 and by CPC in 2009. 

Private sector housing includes owner-occupied dwellings and the private rented sector but excludes those let by housing associations and local authorities.

The estimates cover:

  • Dwellings which fail the Decent Homes Standard
  • Dwellings which fail the Decent Homes Standard due to:
    • being unfit (2006)
    • Inadequate thermal comfort
    • A category 1 hazard (2009) 
    • Disrepair
    • Non-modern facilities and services
  • Vulnerable households
  • Non-decent homes occupied by vulnerable households
  • The proportion of vulnerable households in decent homes (PSA7 - 2006)
  • Households in fuel poverty
  • Dwellings with a SAP rating less than 30 (2006) and less than 35 (2009)

The results for each sub-area of the survey have been combined with the distribution, or spread, of conditions defined by the Building Research Establishment Stock Model ,to give a more detailed picture than would be possible from a survey alone. Thus the resulting maps and data are a more up-to-date and accurate model of housing conditions in South Kesteven.

See ‘Decent Homes’ for detailed definitions of the above factors
