Dear Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council,

My name is Tymoteusz Gozdzik and I am an economics student at the University of Warwick.

As part of a year-long university research project in applied 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
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 .csv

For indicative purposes, the following data format is expected:

Thank you for your time in considering my request.

Yours faithfully,

Tymoteusz Gozdzik,
Economics student at the University of Warwick
