Data on social housing stock and Right-to-Buy sales in the Council area for the period 1980-2021

The request was successful.

Martina Radovanic

Dear High Peak Borough Council,

My name is Martina Radovanic and I am a third-year PPE student at the University of Warwick.
 
As part of a university research scheme in economics, I am studying the evolution of the Council's social housing stock. The project is supervised by Thiemo Fetzer, Professor of Economics at the University of Warwick.
 
I came across the available data on aggregate social housing stock and Right-to-Buy sales at the local authority level. However, more detailed information would be of great assistance in answering my research question. Therefore, I hereby submit a Freedom of Information request. I would like access to more detailed data, i.e. at a finer geographical level, on social housing stock and Right-to-Buy sales in the Council area for the period 1980-2021.
 
Ideally, the data would follow the following format:
Essential data:
Variable of interests: Properties sold under Right-to-Buy and Social
Geographical unit: As granular as possible (eg. full postcode or full address)
Time unit: As granular as possible (eg. Date)
Period covered: As large as possible between 1980 and the present time.
Area Covered: As large as possible (eg. all properties managed by the Council at any point in time)
Optional data:
Additional information: discount applied, property valuation, actual sale price, number of bedrooms, or other characteristics.
File format: .xlsx (Excel) or .txt
 
For indicative purposes, the following data format is expected:

Thank you for your time in considering my request.

Yours faithfully,
