My Department does not have a detailed breakdown of housing stock by type of purchaser or by category of dwelling status. Information collected as part of the census of population does provide some analysis on vacant dwellings. However, as there may be other reasons why a dwelling is vacant, such as households' absence on the night of the census or that rented dwellings are between lettings, it is not possible to discern which properties are owned as second homes.
