There is a trend for an increasing volume of local authority housing stock to be involved in large-scale stock transfer (LSVT) each year. Although initially favoured by districts with sound stock and low levels of housing debt, policy changes have now encouraged more metropolitan areas to make partial transfers of their poorer stock. This Sector Study examines the growth and spread of LSVT associations, their effect on the HA stock profile at district level, the changes in vacancy rates associated with the transfer of stock needing renovation and the difference in tenant profiles of LSVT and non-LSVT HAs.
