Social housing and Right-to-Buy sales Data Request

The request was partially successful.

Dear Haringey Borough Council,

My name is Leon Beaufils and I am a third year 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 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 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:
Variable of interests: Properties sold under Right-to-Buy and Social/Council housing stock
Geographical unit: As granular as possible (eg. full postcode or full address)
Time unit: As granular as possible (eg. Quarter or Year)
Period covered: As large as possible between 1980 and present time.
Area covered: As large as possible (eg. all properties managed by the Council at any point in time)

Thank you for your time in considering my request.

Yours faithfully,

Leon Beaufils,
Economics student at the University of Warwick.

Timi Somosu, Haringey Borough Council
