Housing equity withdrawal (HEW) is classed as the balance of effects on the stock of housing equity from:
- Changes in the stock of secured lending when households take out or repay debt.
- Changes in the stock of housing wealth, e.g. when new properties are built or improvements are made to existing properties.
The stock of housing equity can also change as a result of revaluations of the stock of housing wealth due to changes in house prices, but this is not included in HEW.
