As social housing waiting lists in the UK continue to grow, more and more people are being forced into private rented property instead. This is leaving thousands of families and vulnerable households without a suitable home.
According to government social housing statistics, there are more than 1.8 million households waiting for a social home – an increase of 81% since 1997. Shelter’s analysis of the English housing survey 2010/11 suggested that two thirds of those on the waiting list have been waiting for more than a year.
The shortage in supply of social housing simply stems from one cause; inadequate quantity of purpose-built property over the past few decades. Additionally, whilst we have witnessed a lack of supply in housing, the demand has also risen. As a result, waiting lists for social housing continue to grow – forcing more and more people to move into private rented accommodation; thus presenting lucrative opportunities for property investors looking to cash in on the demand for rental properties.
