Publisher's Synopsis
This study provides a comprehensive review of the current state of the UK housing stock, dealing in particular with that in the public sector. It brings together all currently available information including statistical information of specified aspects ? for example, condition of high-rise and system built dwellings. Conclusions drawn from the study show disrepair is now the major problem for the ageing UK dwelling stock; that an existing backlog of essential work is not being met and that the comparatively new stock in the public sector faces particular problems in view of the lack of sufficient maintenance work over the last decade and the large number of system built and high-rise properties in public ownership.
