With an average sale price of £150,000, 72% of its homes are sold to first-time buyers, with 28% going to housing associations for affordable rent.

You can buy a share of a property — from as little as 25% — then pay an affordable rent on the remainder.

Affordable rent was changed to mean up to 80 per cent of market rates in a given location.

In order to maintain the delivery of affordable housing their solution has been 'affordable rent'.

We need an integrated approach to housing policy that delivers a broader and more flexible range of choices from affordable rent, through flexible shared ownership options into outright sale.
