About SalixIQ

SalixIQ is a connected research resource for the housing sector, created by Housing Research Library.

It brings together official housing legislation, guidance, parliamentary material, policy documents, regulatory publications, research and datasets into one structured, searchable place.

Instead of navigating multiple government and institutional websites, SalixIQ provides a clear starting point, allowing users to search once, land on a structured record, and follow links back to the original published source.

Housing regulation is complex, fragmented, and constantly evolving.

Important information is published across many different websites, in different formats, at different times, and often without clear links between related material. This makes it difficult to know where to begin, what is current, and how different documents relate to each other.

SalixIQ exists to reduce that friction.

It is designed to help professionals find what they need faster, understand context and status more clearly, and work confidently from verified information.

SalixIQ is built around structured records, not lists of links.

Each record brings together:

• the original published source
• publication details and dates
• status and version information
• links to related legislation, guidance, consultations and updates

This allows users to immediately understand what a document is, where it sits in the wider framework, and how it connects to other material, without having to piece that context together manually.

From each record, users can follow the trail back to the original source publication at any time.

SalixIQ focuses on material relevant to the rented housing sector, including:

• Legislative documents
• Parliamentary material
• Statutory and non-statutory guidance
• Regulatory publications
• Policy and strategy documents
• Judicial and tribunal material
• Research, statistics and datasets
• Other official sector information

All material is sourced from authoritative publishers, with clear attribution and links back to the original publication.

SalixIQ is used by professionals who need reliable housing information as part of their work, including:

• Local authority teams
• Housing associations and registered providers
• Legal and compliance professionals
• Policy and public affairs teams
• Researchers and analysts
• Advisors and consultants working in the housing sector

It is designed to support day-to-day research, policy work, compliance checks and strategic decision-making.

Housing Research Library curates and structures all content within SalixIQ to ensure clarity, consistency and traceability.

Every record is designed to:

• clearly identify the original source
• show how material relates to other documents
• avoid duplication and ambiguity
• support verification and confidence

This structured approach underpins the reliability of SalixIQ and helps users work from clear, connected information rather than isolated documents.

SalixIQ is not about replacing original sources.

It is about helping people reach them faster, with clarity and confidence.

Housing Research Library currently focuses exclusively on the rented housing sector, primarily in England.

This part of the housing system is fast-moving, regulation-heavy, and operationally complex. By concentrating here first, SalixIQ can provide deeper coverage, clearer structure, and more reliable information across a complex body of material. This focus also creates a strong foundation for future expansion.

SalixIQ is live and in active use across the housing sector.

The core experience is established, stable, and designed to support real-world research and decision-making. Development continues, but the focus is on refinement rather than reinvention. Some areas are marked as beta, indicating features that are being improved based on how they are used in practice.

Work is ongoing to expand coverage across the rented housing sector, including additional material, historical versions, and deeper topic coverage. Tools currently in development will continue to mature, with clearer structure, improved filtering, and more curated research views. All future work follows the same principle: keep housing information clear, connected, and easy to work with.
