In April 2008 the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) was integrated with the Survey of English Housing (SEH) resulting in a new survey known as the English Housing Survey (EHS).
Like the previous EHCS, it has three component surveys: a household interview, followed by a physical inspection and a market value survey of a subsample of the properties.
An exciting development is that the EHS will also form part of the ONS Continuous Population Survey (CPS). The first results from the new English Housing Survey will be available in early 2010.
If you would like further information about the EHS or wish to be added to the mailing list for our electronic newsletter please email: ehs@communities.gsi.gov.uk or telephone 0207 944 3526.
