My Department publishes a wide range of housing statistics, including the number and value of local authority mortgages with a breakdown of those in arrears for more than 90 days. The statistics are available on my Department’s website at:, by clicking "Mortgage Data/Arrears in Local Authorities" under the Housing Loans contents.
