We have completed a quality-focused assessment of @ONS’s Price Index of Private Rents (PIPR). Our report includes five requirements for ONS to address as it continues to develop these statistics.   We found that ONS’s new PIPR statistics generally appear to be meeting users’ needs more effectively than the previous statistics that they have replaced. Our requirements include the need for ONS to publish additional information on source data quality and methods, and its plans for future user engagement and the continued development of the statistics.
