Leeds City Council Housing Stock and Lettings Attributes

Leeds City Council houses are listed by address with property and tenancy details. The dataset includes build date, property type and size, heating type, weekly rent band, and the number of times a property has been let in the last three years. It was originally created for a city intelligence innovation lab and updated in 2019, though that update omitted some fields like pet suitability and letting restrictions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing property age distribution and condition based on build date.
• Modeling rental income and affordability using weekly rent bands.
• Assessing property turnover and demand via vacancy and re-let counts.
• Planning maintenance and upgrades using heating type and property size data.

Strengths

• Cross-platform presence on UK and EU open data portals signals importance and accessibility.
• Contains specific operational metrics like 'number of times a property has become vacant and then let in the last 3 years'.
• Published under the Open Government Licence (OGL-UK-3.0), permitting wide reuse.

Limitations

• Column names and exact row counts are unknown, limiting precise technical assessment.
• Sources conflict on last update date: one platform shows 2026-07-08, another shows 2019-10-07.
• The 2019 update reportedly omitted data on pet suitability and letting restrictions, reducing feature completeness.
