My Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing and planning statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy, and those data are available on my Department's website

Data on number of houses repossessed by local authorities are included in this range. R epossessions in that dataset relate to mortgaged units only . The data are broken down by area and by forced and voluntary repossessions.
