UK HOUSING REVIEW from the Chartered Institute of Housing
'Huge congratulations to the CIH on three decades of the ever-fresh UK Housing Review. From its origins with Steve Wilcox in charge, it has been both the essential encyclopaedia of housing data and the stimulus for informed discussion on the key housing issues. Here's to the next 30 years!' Lord Richard Best
'The UKHR is a hugely valuable resource, bringing together expert commentary and extensive data tables. It's great news that CIH are making it available for more housing professionals to access as a benefit of CIH membership.' Brian Robson, Executive Director (Policy and public affairs), Northern Housing Consortium
'It's the sector Bible.' Steve Moseley, Group Director, Governance, Strategy and Communications, L&Q
