More social renters than ever expect to buy a home, the
English Housing Survey has revealed. According to the survey 30% of social
renters expect to buy a property at some point in the future, compared to 26.8%
in 2015/16. This figure has been rising gradually since 2011/12, when it stood
at 20.3%. Elsewhere in the survey, figures revealed the growth of the private
rented sector (PRS), which now accounts for 20.3% of residents in England. A
total of 62.6% of residents own their homes and 17.1% are social renters.
