Prior to October 2019 VOA published private rental market statistics for England only, which can be accessed on the Private rental market statistics page.
Ad hoc statistics releases
Publications made by the VOA that aren’t official statistics are released as ad hoc statistics. This includes:
- supplementary datasets related to our official statistics
- data in support of VOA’s operational reporting
Some statistics may also be published on the FOI disclosure log where they are requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and are judged to be of wider public interest with respect to official statistics.

Corporate procedures and standards
We follow the UK Statistics Authority’s Code of Practice for official statistics when producing our Official Statistics. Further, to improve confidence in our statistics, we have engaged with the Best Practice and Impact Division of the Office for National Statistics to modernise our official statistics products and processes. Following the completion of this work, the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) carried out a compliance check of our Council Tax statistics. The OSR published its report, Compliance Check of Valuation Office Agency (VOA) Council Tax statistics, on 20 March 2024.
