Greater London Council Condition of Dwelling Survey, 1967
This survey, conducted jointly by the Greater London Council and London Doroughs, was
concerned with the physical attributes and condition of dwellings.
A 4% sample of all rateable dwellings, comprising 2652 individual premises, were visited
by public health department staff who made an assessment of the dwellings with regard to existingconditions and the scope for improvement or conversion. Survey questionnaires were completed
on each property for collation and analysis by the Greater London Council.
Results of the analysis for Hammersmith indicate that in their present condition some
43% of the dwellings in the borough have a life of less than 25 years. This confirms the results
of other local studies and brings the inevitable conclusion that considerable programmes of rehabilitation,
including improvement and conversion of dwellings, will have to be undertaken in
the near future.
