Collection

Social housing lettings

This collection brings together all documents relating to social housing lettings collected through the Continuous Recording (CORE) system.

The continuous recording of lettings and sales in social housing in England (referred to as CORE) is a national information source that records information on the characteristics of both private registered providers and local authority new social housing tenants and the homes they rent.

This collection provides all of the statistical information that the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities produces on social housing lettings and includes:

  • trends in social housing lettings over time
  • characteristics of tenants with new social housing lettings
  • types of tenancy agreements

Summary information about characteristics of the tenants and the properties are available in the annual statistical releases below.

As well as CORE, information about social housing is available from other sources. Details about some of these different data sources which are used to generate the latest available data tables (live tables) can be found in Rents, lettings and tenancy data.

General information about social housing is also available.

Feedback

We are interested in understanding more about how our data is used and the decisions they inform. This is important for us so we can provide a high quality service which meets users’ needs.
