Percentage of social rental units owned by private registered providers of social housing (PRPs) which fail the DHS (5652) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the percentage of rental units and bedspaces (including non-self-contained) owned by Private registered providers (PRPs) that did not meet the Decent Homes Standard (DHS). PRPs refer to providers of social housing in England that are registered with the social housing regulator and are not local authorities; as defined in the 2008 Housing and Regeneration Act.
The Decent Homes Standard requires homes to meet the current statutory minimum standard for housing, as set out in the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, be in a reasonable state of repair, have reasonably modern facilities and services, and provide a reasonable degree of thermal comfort.
Social rental stock does not include social leased nor non-social units owned by PRPs.
Non-social leased includes all leasehold properties belonging to PRPs that do not meet the definition of social leased housing below.
Social leased housing (Low Cost Home Ownership/Affordable HomeOwnership) is defined in the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 as being that occupied or made available for occupation in accordance with shared ownership arrangements, equity percentage arrangements, or shared ownership trusts; and it is made available to people whose needs are not adequately served by the commercial housing market. The landlord retains the freehold interest in the property where the purchaser has not acquired 100% of the equity in the property. The purchaser may have the right to staircase their ownership of equity over time but has not yet staircased to 100%. It also includes properties where the maximum equity share is restricted to below 100%. Properties where staircasing has reached 100% (even where the landlord retains the freehold of the property) are not included in the social leased figures presented in this release.
