While the Government has yet to successfully address the housing crisis to date, we welcome today’s levelling up agenda and look forward to the implementation of real change. In particular, the ambition to ensure that by 2030 renters will have a secure path to ownership with the number of first-time buyers increasing in all areas.
To deliver their mission, the Government must do more to encourage local authorities to scale up their adoption of innovative models like affordable rent to buy, one of the most accessible and effective ways to enable renters to transfer to home ownership after just five years, or up to 20, without needing an initial deposit.
As the market leader in the sector, Rentplus has proven that the model works.
