36. Key issues/barriers for Customers
• Affordability is not now, in many cases, the major constraint
– The majority of people continue to aspire to home
ownership
– More affordable rent alone is not a long term sustainable
solution
– Eligibility criteria for “affordable housing”
– Need for intermediate tenures
– Too many different products and options?
= Flexible tenure approach
• Access to mortgages remain the primary issue
– LTV’s continue to fall
– FTB’s trying to save 25% deposits
– Lack of mortgage provider confidence in shared ownership
(shared equity less of an issue)
= PfP Mortgages & equity loans
