WHY TENURE DIVERSIFICATION?
• Creating mixed, attractive sustainable areas
• Applies to existing as well as new neighbourhoods
• New neighbourhoods over 50% ownership
• Current estates typically 2% to 25%
• So a programme to sell existing customers their homes

DEVELOPING NEW APPROACHES:FIRSTLY, SOCIAL HOMEBUY
• Early pilot from 2006 • 4000 customers in 14
areas• Discount of £9k to £16k• 32 sales• Verdict – small scale, not
very affordable.• Niche product• Conclusion - new product
needed

RENTING TO OWNING
• PfP own product• Voluntary Sales scheme• Based on equity loan• For good/long standing
customers of 5 years plus• Buy at 60% or 70% market
value - £100k house for £60k mortgage
• No payment on the equity loan part
• Full ownership• Only condition – repay same %
on first sale.• BUT – market collapse !

WHAT DO WE THINK OF IT SO FAR?
• Slow burner – changing neighbourhoods is a long process
• Still market testing through variety in the pilots
• Current market is very low – preparing for the future
• Equity loan not easy to market• An attempt to cut through the
first time buyer barriers – high deposits
• Still a niche product
