The rise of private renting

This piece of research from Savills is interesting.  The Savills thesis about the UK housing market is that it is increasingly driven by equity rather than debt, as the home owners who bought their houses in the ownership boom of the 197os and 1980s have paid down their mortgages.  One strange effect of this is that wealthy home owners are actually using their clout in the market to crowd out owner occupiers.  Since 1988, when the rental market was liberalised, private renting has grown from 9% of the market to 14% by 2008.  Even in the mad days of the liquidity boom, when the famous 125% mortgages became available and non status mortgages became so common, owner occupation fell in the UK as high prices made it difficult for aspiting homeowners to get a foot on the ladder.  With credit so restricted this isn’t going to change anytime soon.
