Private Rented Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information his Department holds on the number of properties for rent in the private rented sector in each of the last three years.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
My Department collects data on the number of dwellings in the private rented sector through the English Housing Survey, which is published annually and can be found on gov.uk here.
The latest estimates for the number of private rented sector dwellings in England are as follows: 4,864,000 in 2022, 4,880,000 in 2023, and 4,910,000 in 2024.
