You asked
You provide the dataset 'Measures of owner occupiers' housing costs: weights analysis which contains weights for different approaches to measuring owner occupiers' housing costs (OOH).
However, data are only provided for the period 2005-2020.
Could you please provide me with the weights according to the net acquisition approach for the years 1999-2004 and 2021-2024 (and revise the published weights if necessary)?
I am interested in the weights for the sub-components of the net acquisition approach and also the weight in the total CPI-H(NA).
We said
Thank you for your request.
We stopped producing the dataset you referenced in 2020. This was because of resources being diverted to higher priority work within the ONS. Therefore, unfortunately, we don’t hold the information you have requested, as to produce this we would need to develop new statistical pipelines to restart the compilation of these data.
