Компания Vistry предложила новую модель долевого владения для строительства 30 тысяч домов ежегодно в Великобритании

Vistry Group has published a white paper setting out how a new shared-ownership model could contribute an additional 30,000 new homes a year across the UK. The white paper, ‘Choice-led Shared Ownership’, argues that by creating a choice-led model, eligible first-time buyers can be enabled to purchase a home of their choice with minimal public subsidy. The proposed model includes a minimum initial share of 60% purchased via a conventional mortgage, with rent of 3.5% payable on the remaining 40%, which would be supported by institutional capital, a lender-provided debt tranche and a proposed 1% National Housing Bank equity contribution. The paper also recommends the government establish a Choice-led Shared Ownership Taskforce to create better engagement between developers and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Vistry said the model would improve affordability, offer buyers more choice and potentially support the creation of 150,000 homes over a five-year period. Stephen Teagle, chief executive of partnerships and regeneration at Vistry, said the model could offer “a practical route to more accessibility and affordability for first-time buyers”. He added: “It also has the potential to make a significant contribution to GDP and housing delivery, with minimal reliance on public subsidy. “It is clear that momentum is building behind this concept. Government and the housing and investment sectors now have an opportunity to turn that momentum into action, supporting economic growth while helping more first-time buyers to access high-quality new homes.” Vistry also said the model would reduce grant requirements by up to £10.5bn compared with developing an equivalent number of homes through traditional grant-funded shared ownership, while reducing deposit requirements by up to 40% and providing greater clarity on ongoing housing costs. Alex Notay, chief executive at The Housing Forum, a cross-sector member organisation for the housing industry, said: “Tackling the housing crisis requires all elements of the housing ecosystem to be firing on all cylinders and this white paper on choice-led shared ownership is a strong contribution to that collective effort. “It directly reflects the priorities set out in The Housing Forum’s most recent ‘Housing Solutions’ report, especially the need to widen access for first-time buyers by modernising shared-ownership income limits, improving consumer choice and creating clearer, more flexible routes into ownership.” The report was developed in consultation with representatives from the housing sector, institutional investors and policymakers. Last month,  Vistry secured £350m in funding as part of the government’s £39bn Social and Affordable Homes Programme. 2026-09-08 Editorial: News Planning & policy Residential
