Volume 491: debated on Monday 27 April 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what estimate has been made of the market value of homes owned by housing associations in each of the last three years. (270625)

An estimate of the monetary value of homes owned by registered social landlords (RSLs) in each of the last three years provided in the following table is derived from the financial accounts of RSLs. The value given is the aggregate of figures provided by individual RSLs to the TSA by all RSLs that own 1,000 or more homes, representing approximately 97 per cent. of all homes owned in the RSL sector. This is reported in the publication “Global accounts of housing associations” produced by the TSA. The estimate of value is provided taking into account the public grant subsidy received.
