Selling the Welfare State

The Privatisation of Public Housing

By: Ray Forrest,Alan Murie

Originally published in 1988, this book offers the first comprehensive and critical analysis of the privatisation of public housing in Britain. It outlines the historical background to the growth of public housing and the developing political debatea surrounding its disposal. The main emphasis in the book, however, is on the ways in which privatisation in housing links to other key changes in British society. The long trend for British social housing to become a welfare housing sector is related to evidence of growing social polarisation and segregation. Within this overall context, the book explores the uneven spatial and social consequences of the policy.

The Right to Buy?

Selling Off Public and Social Housing

By: Alan Murie

The right-to-buy scheme has been a key component of housing policy across the United Kingdom for thirty-five years, and while Scotland and Wales have decided to end it, in 2015 there were proposals to extend right to buy in England. But what exactly is this policy, how has it developed, and what has its impact been? Is there any evidence of wider, unintended consequences, and how might extending the policy affect future housing provisions? What alternatives are there? In this book, Alan Murie provides an authoritative account of the rise and reach of the right-to-buy policy as well as its potential future sway. Presenting up-to-date statistical data, The Right to Buy? both engages with debates about transfers to private renting and the policy's impact on public expenditure and the current housing situation, and assesses the proposals for new legislation.

The Right to Buy

Analysis and Evaluation of a Housing Policy

By: Colin Jones,Alan Murie

An evaluation of the most enduring privatisation of the Thatcher era ... Written in an accessible style, this is a key reference for students and researchers in housing and planning; geography; and social policy. The book analyses the operation and impact of the right to buy policy (RTB). It includes a critique of the Housing Act and the 2001 Housing (Scotland) Act. The enactment of these changes under a Labour government affirms the continuance of the RTB. The authors take stock of its profound effect on housing policy, reversing the growth in social housing developed over the twentieth century, transforming the nation's tenure structure and revolutionising the UK housing system. The Right to Buy: analysis and evaluation of a housing policy begins with an examination of the policy background to the establishment of the RTB and the main features of the legislation. This is followed by chapters that review its take-up and the pattern of sales and their impact on social housing; a chapter examining the financial aspects of the RTB from the viewpoints of tenants, local authorities and central government; one looking at the impact of the RTB via subsequent re-sales on the open market and on the private rented sector; and a chapter drawing on the information already reviewed to consider the potential of the RTB to create sustainable and diverse communities. In the final chapters the international experience of parallel policies are considered and the future take-up of the RTB is assessed in the light of recent reforms together with alternatives.

The Right to Buy?

Selling off public and social housing

By: Murie, Alan

The Right to Buy has had a massive impact on Housing in the UK for 35 years and in 2015 there were proposals to extend it. But what is the Right to Buy policy, how has it developed and what has its impact been? What evidence is there about the wider and unintended consequences of the policy? How are the proposals to extend the policy in England likely to affect future housing provision and what alternatives are there? In The Right to Buy, Alan Murie provides an authoritative account of the origins, development and impact of the policy across the UK and proposals for its extension in England (and decisions to end it in Scotland and Wales). Presenting up-to-date statistical material the book engages with debates about transfers to private renting, the impact on public expenditure and on the current housing situation, addresses the proposals for new legislation and details the potential impact of these. It is an essential read for anyone interested in this highly topical issue.

An authoritative addition to comparative housing research, adding to knowledge of housing policy in practice in China.

Home Ownership

Differentiation and Fragmentation

By: Ray Forrest,Alan Murie,Peter Williams

Originally published in 1990 and drawing on extensive research, this book provides an evaluation of the impact of the growth of home ownership in the UK, and of the claims and counter-claims made for its social significance. The book examines critically the evidence for and against the proposition that mass home ownership is contributing towards a more equal society. Wide-ranging in its coverage, the book discusses the changing nature and role of home ownership, wealth accumulation and housing, the relationship between social class and housing tenure, and policy development.

More Than Tenure Mix

Developer and Purchaser Attitudes to New Housing Estates

By: Robert Rowlands,Alan Murie,Andrew Tice

As social mix has become central to government policy, this report examines the delivery of mix through housing tenure on new housing estates. It particularly focuses on developer attitudes to producing mix and to the experiences of purchasers in living on these estates. The research utilised interviews with national house builders, seven case study estates and a social survey of non-social residents in five estates. In all of the estates, a form of tenure mix had been employed to meet wider objectives including the provision of affordable housing, rebalancing of the local housing market and to create social mix. Mixed tenure aims not only to achieve social mix, but also to promote interaction within communities. It depends on the planning system, which determines numbers and outputs, but the desired outcome is a qualitative improvement in community life.
