Comprehensive repair costs
Housing statistics and English Housing Survey, glossary, published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2019, defines comprehensive repair costs as: ‘…urgent work required in the short term to tackle problems presenting a risk to health, safety, security or further significant deterioration plus any additional work, including replacement of elements that will become necessary within the next 10 years.’
See Chapter 5, Annex 5 of the EHS technical report for more information about how these are calculated and assumptions made.
