Private Rented Housing Research

North Derbyshire and Bassetlaw HMA Private Rented Housing study

A research study into the private rented housing sector across the North Derbyshire and Bassetlaw Housing Market Area (NDBHMA) was carried out in 2010. The study's purpose was to help the NDBHMA authorities:

• Better understand the role of the private rented sector in the housing market and how it might impact on the housing market as a whole
• Provide an overview of the sector, showing how it has changed since 2001 and the effects of the downturn in the housing market
• Provide information on what drives both supply and demand in the sector
• Identify long term trends and emerging issues
• Identify policy approaches and interventions for managing and influencing the sector
• To provide a toolkit for maintaining up to date intelligence on the sector

The study is now being used by Private Sector Housing teams across the NDBHMA area to look at their approaches toward dealing and managing the sector.
