Centre for Microdata Methods

Post by asimj1 »

The Centre for Microdata Methods and Practice (CEMMAP) published research using Secure Access English Housing Survey data from 2008-2012 to estimate a simple model of the supply of housing to the rental and owner-occupied housing markets in London.

They found that location, structure and nigeria rcs data unobserved quality (which includes features such as layout, architectural style, quality of kitchen, garden etc.) are important for understanding housing prices, rents and selection. Structural characteristics and unobserved quality are important for selecting whether a property is owner-occupied or rented but location is not. Housing units with high value physical attributes (large or detached dwellings) are more likely to be owner-occupied. These larger properties yield higher rent-to-price ratios than smaller properties.

However despite their relatively high gross yield in the rental sector, properties with high value physical characteristics are less likely to be bought up by landlords and supplied to renters. This is consistent with theories of contracting frictions over maintenance and upkeep of the property.
