Cambridge Centre for Housing & Planning Research

 

This project was commissioned by Tower Homes and Metropolitan Home Ownership, two of the largest providers of Low Cost Home Ownership in the London area. It involved a survey of clients who had purchased on a shared ownership basis in the previous twelve months and a second survey of those who became shared owners between three and four years ago. The research looked at the longer term affordability and sustainability of Low Cost Home Ownership. Affordability was explored both by considering objectively the monthly outgoings incurred related to income, and subjectively as revealed in the surveys.
