Research by Hometrack and the British Property Federation suggests that unless more funding is acquired for new homes, private rented landlords could soon be called upon to fill the UK’s growing housing gap.

According to their research, despite the recent 20%+ property price falls of the last 18 months, a massive gulf between social housing and home ownership is occurring which is preventing more and more homeowners from finding a home.

Unable to find the housing deposits they need to invest, and with no hope of new investments appearing from pension funds and buy to let investors – there will soon not be enough homes to fulfil homeowners’ demands. Especially for the thousands of homeowners, who unable to afford property are now discovering that they also don’t qualify for social housing either.

What can be done?

Speaking on this matter, the BPF’S director of policy, Ian Fletcher feels that the government can no remain politically muted about the private rented sector and its growing attention in housing circles.

With the support of landlords and property investors, Fletcher strongly believes the buy to let market could satisfy the UK’s housing needs for the long foreseeable future. Particularly, if the likes of Aviva and Legal & General take action in their interest and invest in multi-billion pound rented housing schemes…

Looking at these statistics, it is undeniable that the last 18 months have proved a difficult time for many homeowners who faced with mortgage difficulty; the need to move to find new jobs and the desire for bigger homes, have been unable to invest.

Now more than ever is the time for the government to recognise the need for a new business model and acknowledge the necessity for a quality private rented sector.

With its open flexibility and accessibility, the private rental sector can easily cater for this growing niche of homeowners who can’t afford to buy property as well as cope with the government’s lack of funding and investment.

What Is In It For You?

Simple. The opportunity to take advantage of an expanding tenancy demand which YOU can easily cater for…

During 2009, the government only succeeded in creating 100,000 new builds to help support the growing housing sector– 300,000 less than they originally intended. Now take into consideration their goal to build 3 million new homes by 2020, and the likelihood that the government will achieve this figure is looking incredibly unlikely.

However, as a professional landlord, you can help homeowners to bypass this restriction and instead offer them the freedom to move across the country - whenever they want - and escape the restrictions of mortgages and selling.
