The interview topics include: household characteristics, satisfaction with the home and the area, disability and adaptations to the home, ownership and rental details and income details. All interviewees are guaranteed confidentiality and all data is anonymised. This study (SN 8669) contains the household survey data.Physical Survey (Housing Stock)Where interviews were achieved (the full household sample), each year all rented properties and a sub-sample of owner occupied properties are regarded as eligible for the physical survey and the respondent's consent is sought. A proportion of vacant properties were also sub-sampled. For all physical survey cases, a visual inspection of the property, both internal and external is carried out by a qualified surveyor. The accompanying EHS Housing Stock Data, 2018 (SN 8670), covering 2017-19, consists of a detailed interview using a CAPI-based program and a physical survey of the dwelling.
