UK HOUSING REVIEW 2009/10

The UK Housing Review provides the key information for busy managers and policy makers. This 18th edition brings together the most up-to-date housing statistics available for England (and its regions), Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

It features over 200 charts and tables including data about:

UK and international economic trends
Public expenditure plans
Housing stock and conditions
Housing characteristics and incomes
House prices and market trends
Rents and revenue spending
Subsidies, tax relief and benefits
Homelessness and lettings
Housing investment by councils and housing associations

In addition to commentary on current trends, Steve Wilcox and other commentators give their views on ten years of devolved housing policy in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, stock transfer, the prospects for reform of council housing finance, and the effects of the continuing ‘credit crunch’.

‘At a time of growing public concern about Britain’s housing needs and how these can best be met, the importance of good, up-to-date information and perceptive analysis of market trends and relevant financial data cannot be over-emphasised. The UK Housing Review compiled and edited by Steve Wilcox admirably fulfils this role.’ Nick Raynsford, MP and former minister.

Discount price to Housing Studies Association members only: £27.00 plus £5.00 p&p for UK (normal price is £45 plus postage).

NEW PUBLICATIONS FROM CIH

Introducing Affordable Housing

This new edition of the essential book for housing and related courses is now available. The provision and management of affordable housing demands a wide range of knowledge and expertise. This important text examines the history and role of social and affordable housing in the UK and goes on to explore how it is financed, developed, and managed. It considers the key tasks which housing professionals have to undertake and some of the issues inherent in different approaches to these tasks. It recognises that sustainability underlies the work of affordable housing providers, in terms not only of protecting the environment and our scarce resources, but also in relation to promoting social and community cohesion within neighbourhoods.

Introducing Affordable Housing - part of the Practice Studies range - is particularly useful for students studying the Chartered Institute of Housing’s recognised qualifications, but also for broader, social policy-focused courses where an understanding of housing as a social policy issue is necessary.
