The results from the condition assessments of different features of the house show the owned housing stock was typically and consistently in a better condition than rental houses, both inside and out.
The House Condition Survey also included an assessment of how well maintained the property was overall.. Again, the results showed that rentals were in a poorer state of repair than owner-occupied houses. Rentals were twice as likely to be considered poorly maintained, while twice the proportion of owned properties were considered well maintained overall. However, owned and tenanted properties were both in a better state of repair than in 2010.
