These papers compare the findings on RSL sector and the private rented sector to provide a clear picture of the extent to which rent and rate of return differentials vary by area, type, etc.

Rents and rates of return in the housing association and private sectors 1998/99 to 2007/08

The report examines rental rates of return in the housing association sector as compared to those observed in the private rented sector between 1998/99 and 2007/08 at national as well as at lower geographical levels.

Comparing Rents and User Costs, 2005/06 and 2001/02

This paper examines how housing association (HA) rents relate to costs in other tenures in 2005/06 and 2001/02, the year before target rents were introduced. It compares HA rents, local authority rents, private sector rents and owner-occupation user costs at national, regional and LA levels and for different property types.

Housing association rents, private rents and rental rates of return, 1998/99–2006/07

This is a series of three reports which examine changes in housing association rents and rental rates of return between 1998/99 and 2006/07; private rents and rental rates of return between 1996/97 and 2006/07; and the comparison of rental rates of return between the two sectors from 1998/99 to 2006/07.

Comparison of registered social landlord rents with owner occupier costs, 1998/99 to 2006/07

The report illustrates the recent development of owner-occupation (OO) costs at the lower priced property market and compares OO costs with registered social landlord (RSL) rents. It also examines the relationship between OO costs and RSL rents from 1998/99 to 2006/07 at different spatial levels.

Detailed Analysis of the Private Rents and Rental Rates of Return: 1996/97 to 2006/07

This report analyses how private rents relate to the lower quartile house prices in the private sector. It also looks at changes in the spatial pattern of private rents and private gross rental rates of return from 1996/97 to 2006/07 at national, regional and local authority levels.

Detailed Analysis of Housing Association Rents and Rental Rates of Return: 1998/99 to 2006/07

The report analyses how housing association (HA) rents relate to the lower quartile house prices in the private sector over the period 1998/99 to 2006/07 at national as well as at lower geographical levels. It also looks at the variation of rental rates of return on HA housing between regions.

Comparison between Housing Association Sector and Private Sector Rental Rates of Return across England: 1998/99 to 2006/07

The report examines the spatial pattern of rental rates of return in the housing association sector as compared to those observed in the private rented sector between 1998/99 and 2006/07 at national as well as at lower geographical levels. It also looks at rate differentials between the two sectors at four metropolitan areas: London, Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle.

Comparing rents and user costs

This paper compares housing association (HA) gross rents, HA net rents, local authority (LA) rents, private sector rents and owner-occupation user costs to clarify the trends and relationships between housing expenditures across tenures. The comparison is carried out using the datasets for the years 2001/02 and 2006/07 at different spatial levels (i.e. national, regional and LA levels) and for different property types (i.e. bedspace, bedsits, one to six or more bedrooms and all sizes taken together).
