Study in movement trends among those staying in shared ownership housing in the UK. Discusses key findings and highlights the demographics of those staying in shared ownership properties and points out that typical starting shares have fallen from 50 to 40 percent. The author suggests that the statistics prove that shared ownership is not a 'stepping stone' to full ownership, as over half of those moving within the sector do not go on to full ownership. For those who are unable to move on from shared ownership, the ability to move within the sector is important - a fact that is not recognised by many shared ownership providers. The author also provides a range of suggested policy changes in relation to the shared ownership sector and suggests that more work is needed to clarify its role.
