3 The report The End of the affair: implications of declining home ownership can be downloaded from the Smith Institute website:

4 Setting the scene Home ownership levels in England have been declining since They are back to 1991 levels in percentage terms (67.4%) and have declined numerically also. There has been a corresponding rise in the Private Rented Sector (PRS) to 15.6% The decline in home ownership looks set to continue; on present trends it could be down to 60% by 2025 (c. 45% in London) and the PRS could be over 20% by 2020.

5 The present position Tenure characteristics of households England: Owner occupiers: 67.4% ( million) All social renters: 17.0% (3.675 million) Private renters: 15.6% (3.355 million) Source: English Housing Survey Headline Report

6 The present position Significant regional and national variations: London has only 52.5% home ownership, 25.5% social renters and a PRS at 21.5%. Scotland has slightly lower home ownership but more social renting. Wales and Northern Ireland have slightly higher levels of home ownership.

7 The present position Home ownership in England is slightly below the EU27 average: EU weighted average: 68.2% England: 67.4% UK: 69%

8 The present position Home ownership is firmly embedded in popular aspirations (though recent surveys suggest that realism is creeping in). Home ownership has high political salience; at least at the level of the rhetoric of all three parties. ( The age of aspiration is back! - Grant Shapps, Housing Minister 8 June 2010). Home ownership interacts widely with public policy from the economy to welfare.

9 The rise (and fall) of home ownership /10 Owner occupiers 23% 32% 57.2% 65.7% 70.9% 67.4% Social renters Private renting 1% 10% 31.7% 25.2% 18.3% 17.0% 76% 58% 11.1% 9.1% 11.0% 15.6%

10 The rise of home ownership The inter-war years- homes for heroes Government policy was tenure neutral- at least at first. Over 50,000 council homes were built each year on average. The majority of homes were provided by speculative building, which Government promoted. In the 30 s the builders pool enabled 95% loans on new homes and introduced working class home ownership- helped by rising incomes and falling house prices. The PRS declined rapidly due to retention of wartime rent controls.

11 The rise of home ownership Post-War years to 1980: Rapid expansion of home ownership; majority of households were home owners by Social rented sector doubled in size from PRS continued its decline.

12 The rise of home ownership Causes of tenure change in the post-war period: Rise in real incomes, development of welfare state, demographic changes and high levels of secure full-time employment favoured home ownership. Mortgage Interest Tax Relief (MITR) gradually became significant after ,000 council homes built almost every year in 50 s and 60 s. Over-regulation hastened the decline of the PRS.

13 Developments post ; Conservative Government under Margaret Thatcher elected but housing policy became essentially bi-partisan post The housing budget reduced from 5.6% of government expenditure to 1.3% by 2000 and was only 2.7% in There was a shift from capital to revenue subsidy (housing benefit) for affordable housing. Development of social rented housing plummeted and home ownership was promoted as desirable for all but the poorest households.

14 Developments post 1979 Housing starts , , , ,000 Local authorities New towns Government departments 150,000 Total public sector 100,000 50,000 0 Housing associations Private sector All dwellings Source: UK Housing Review 2010/11

15 1980/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /10 Thousand dwellings sold Developments post 1979 MITR was expanded; by 1991 the subsidy amounted to more than the entire housing budget. It was then phased out by 2,000. Right to Buy (RTB) released 1.89 million homes into owner occupation by Local Authority RTB sales Registered Provider RTB sales

16 Developments post 1979 Without RTB home ownership would have risen only very modestly since 1981 (57.2%). Other Low Cost Home Ownership (LCHO) initiativesmainly shared ownership, probably added less than 2% to home ownership over the 30 years after The Housing Act 1988 established the Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) and allowed landlords to charge market rents. The PRS immediately began to expand aided by availability of Buy-to-Let (BTL) mortgage finance on attractive terms from 1996.

17 Causes of declining home ownership: Affordability Affordability a long-term UK problem. House price rises exceeded those of earnings consistently since Incomes of high earners have risen fastest. Average price to income ratio for first-time buyers (FTBs): 1970: : 4.54

18 Affordability Loans advanced to FTBs as a percent of all loans advanced for house purchase (CML)

19 Affordability The average age of a FTB is now 31. The proportion of home owners amongst younger age groups has been falling since the 1980 s The proportion of FTBs who are Low to Middle Earners[LMEs]; households earning less than 30,000 pa. has also been falling since the 1980 s- they represent 32% of households but now only account for 19% of all FTBs.

20 Mortgage finance Low interest rates and availability of capital market funding led banks to under-price risk and to expand their assets post The resultant expansion in lending proved unsustainable: 1.4 million new mortgage loans in 2006 down to 600,000 in Source: CML

21 Mortgage finance The decline in lending affects particularly: High LTV lending; disadvantaging those without access to a substantial deposit of up to 30% of the property value. Lending to those with impaired credit histories(sub-prime) Lending to those whose incomes are on the margin in terms of servicing a loan. Self certification lending (also affected by regulatory scrutiny). Lending on less attractive properties in valuation terms. These changes are likely to particularly affect first-time buyers and those likely to look towards LCHO.

22 Mortgage finance Only 2.2% of loans over 90% LTV in Q Only 24% of loans over 3 times borrowers income. Number of loans to FTBs has halved since 2007 Over 50% of FTBs take loans of less than 75% LTV. Virtually nothing available over 95%. The average FTB has to save 94% of their annual income as a deposit. The average FTB deposit is 21%.

23 Mortgage finance Lending for shared ownership held up relatively well ( but at lower LTV) but future is uncertain. The more conservative mortgage market will not be a temporary phenomenon.

24 Demographics The number of households is set to increase by 250,000 per year. However, the main growth is in single adult households and the over 65 s- these groups do not drive rising home ownership. Inward migration is at high levels- the UK granted 2.1 million entry visas in The UK has twice the level of migrants than the EU average. Recent migrants do not buy homes; they rent them.

25 Changing work patterns Labour mobility has increased. The proportion of the workforce in full-time secure employment has decreased. Security of employment has deteriorated in practice; unemployment is very roughly 4 times the level it was in the period and has been rising for 30 years. These trends support private renting rather than home ownership.

26 Personal indebtedness Individuals in the UK currently have 1.24 trillion secured debt and billion unsecured debtthe latter up from 94.9 billion in There is an underlying problem of low/negative equity and potential issues with arrears/possessions if economic conditions deteriorate and interest rates rise. Student debt has contributed to lower rates of ownership and later entry amongst younger age groups.

27 Taxation and benefits With the abolition of MITR the balance of taxation has shifted in favour of landlords rather than owner occupiers. The 2011 Budget promised further concessions to corporate landlords over SDLT and REITS because of the funding problem in relation to the PRS since the banking crisis. The benefit system favours renters; owner occupiers receive less than 10% of all state housing assistance- yet half the poor are home owners.

28 Pensions and care Poor pension provision is a cause of disinvestment in owner occupation amongst the oldest age groups; it will get worse before it gets better. Community care costs will rise as longevity increases; again this results in disinvestment from the housing market. (What about the Dilnot Commission?)

29 A continuing trend The trend towards lower levels of home ownership and an expanding PRS looks set to continue. Government has rarely managed to transform fundamental tenure trends without resorting to once only policies (RTB) or very high levels of expenditure (the post-war public housing programme). Sometimes policy in this area has been subject to unintended consequences (the decline of the PRS ).

30 Implications for government Can the decline be reversed? What about the Age of Aspiration? How is the PRS to be funded and standards maintained or improved? What about LCHO? Can open market sales continue to subsidise affordable rental development? Which direction will prices go? Will a shrinking housing market prove less volatile?

31 Implications for Government In a rebalanced globalised economy is falling home ownership a bad thing? What are the economic effects in terms of spending, saving and investment? What about the move towards asset-based welfare if those most needing welfare have diminishing assets? What are the implications for taxation? How will government manage down popular aspirations?

32 Implications for affordable housing developers Tenure shift; will it continue and if so what tenure-mix should HAs build? Does it matter if LCHO is taken up by a more affluent client group? LCHO will not disappear but its scale and strategic focus will change over time. What type of LCHO properties to build? Developers are going for value rather than volume.

33 Implications for affordable housing developers Should HAs expand their market rental portfolios? Less regulation Better return than affordable/social rents Promotes mixed communities? There might even be a cross-subsidy But what about the low to middle earners?; LCHO plus market renting plus affordable renting still leaves a gap in provision.

34 Implications for affordable housing developers What about new affordable supply levels? If customer criteria remain the same demand could weaken Falling home ownership could imply weaker house prices going forward What about cross-subsidy? LCHO completions fell dramatically in 20010/11- even with grant.

35 Implications for affordable housing developers Do we need a new development model? Thank you
