Description
Understanding the complex world of housing finance is crucial for anyone concerned about the future of Britain's housing market. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of housing finance, linking it to broader social policy and political themes.
The author explores the history of sub-prime mortgage mis-selling and its impact on the global financial crisis, as well as the effects of austerity programmes on welfare states and housing markets. The book also examines the finance of building and refurbishment, managing and maintaining property for different tenures, and discusses the sustainability of current arrangements.
Written for students and staff of housing, social policy, and politics, this text is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the complex issues surrounding housing finance in Britain today.
