Description:
LSOA-level overview of the rental property market in England and Wales derived from details of >5.9 million Zoopla rental property listings aggregated using three-year rolling windows from 2014-2016 to 2023-2024 inclusive.
Users can explore the rental property market across >35,000 LSOAs in England and Wales using this spatially and temporally aggregated derivative dataset, which includes price measures (median, upper, and lower quantiles), property characteristics (percentages of different property types), and supply/demand indicators (rental listing counts and median rental listing view/click counts) for each LSOA and three-year rolling reporting window.

These data are derived from the WhenFresh/Zoopla Property Rentals [Safeguarded] dataset; users who wish to work with the unaggregated source rental property listings may instead apply for access to that dataset through the HASP Data Catalog (note: access to HASP Safeguarded Data is subject to formal application and approval).

Purpose:

Collection Status:
Ongoing
Method of Collection:
N/A
Notes on Representation:
LSOA + rolling reporting window combinations with fewer than 10 rental property
listings are suppressed to ensure data quality. Not all properties available to
rent in England and Wales appear on the property search website Zoopla, either
as a result of i) the owners not using an estate agent to rent the property, or
ii) the estate agent not advertising the property with Zoopla.
Notes on Bias:
Suppression may reduce representation of LSOA + rolling reporting window
combinations with lower market activity; it is recommended that users consider
this when comparing areas and/or trends over time. The accuracy of rental
property listing data is subject to estate agent (or equivalent entity)
practices relating to the registration of information for the rental property.
