This is a similar proportion to the last year of (pre COVID-19) data collection in 2019, also at 1.1 million and 5%.<\/li>\n<li>Mortgagers found it more difficult to afford their mortgage this year compared to 2021-22, with 11% finding it difficult to afford in 2022. More than a quarter of private renters (29%) and social renters (27%) found it difficult to pay rent.<\/li>\n<li>Most first time buyers funded the purchase of their first home with savings, while there was an increase in those reporting help from family or friends (from 27% in 2021-22 to 36% in 2022-23).<\/li>\n<li>In 2022, 15% of dwellings failed to meet the Decent Homes Standard, while 8% of dwellings had a HHSRS Category 1 hazard, down from 9% in 2021.<\/li>\n<li>In 2022, 4% of dwellings had a problem with damp, an increase from pre-pandemic levels (3%) with private rented dwellings rising from 7% to 9% between 2019 and 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Over the last 10 years, the proportion of homes in the highest energy efficiency bands A to C increased (19% to 48%).
