Dear Dundee City Council,

My name is Suraj Rajesh, and I am a second-year economics student at the University of Warwick.
 
I am a research assistant for a research project conducted by Professor Ludovica Gazze and Professor Thiemo Fetzer at the University of Warwick. As part of the project, I am studying the evolution of the Council's social housing stock.
 
I found the available data on aggregate social housing stock and Right-to-Buy sales at the local authority level. However, more detailed information would greatly assist 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:
Variable of interests: Properties sold under Right-to-Buy and Social/Council housing stock
Geographical unit: As granular as possible (e.g. full postcode or full address)
Time unit: As granular as possible (e.g. Date)
Period covered: As large as possible between 1980 and the present time.
Area Covered: As large as possible (e.g. all properties managed by the Council at any point in time)
Additional information, if possible: 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,

Economics student at the University of Warwick
