The future of the private rented sector [electronic resource]
- London SmithInstitute 2008
Preface -- Introduction -- Making the case for a stronger private rented sector -- Worsening affordability and the buy-to-let mortgage sector -- Private renting for public good -- A future for the small landlord -- A home for institutional capital? -- Demand-driven innovation -- Second-hand, not second-best -- Time to regulate
Looks at the role that the private rented sector can play in meeting key Government housing policy initiatives: increasing owner-occupation and increasing the supply of affordable housing. Intended to inform the 2008 government-initiated review and policy-making process, this collection of essays addresses the major challenges facing both small and large landlords, and what can be done to bring new, affordable private rented properties onto the market. Examines the key underlying market trends and takes a critical look at the way the sector is funded. Recommendations range from the development of investment vehicles to fiscal incentives and tighter regulation. Concludes that while a range of stakeholders have a role to play, a future vision and strategy for the sector must be created.
