This report summarises the results of a research project commissioned by BRE Trust to apply a methodology developed to calculate the cost of poor housing in England to the housing of London. Overall, the research found that there is proportionately slightly less poor housing in London than in the rest of England. This is predominantly due to the fact that the capital has a higher proportion of homes that are purpose-built flats which tend to be newer, more energy efficient and in better repair than other types of home across the country. However, housing conditions vary considerably both between and within boroughs, and there are parts of the city where conditions are significantly worse than the national and London average. Report available for £30.
