Title: English House Condition 1991 Survey: Postal Survey dataset
Description: This dataset contains data relating to the Postal Survey of social landlords of the 1996 English House Condition Survey. This was a survey of local authority and housing association landlords, to identify the action they had taken (or intended to take) on their own housing stock. In the case of local authorities, the survey identified action they had taken or intended to take in the private sector and public sector. Accordingly, three survey forms were used to gather this data.
