You asked

The data I am looking for is a matrix of the number of mortgage-paying households split by income decile and % of income spent on mortgages decile.

In terms of period, this would be for the most recent time period available.

In terms of geography, this would be for the UK, but if the data is available at a national (England, Scotland, Wales, NI) level, or a regional (South East, South West, etc) level, please also supply separate matrices for these regions.
