Summary

A review into the future of the private shared equity market was commissioned by Communities and Local Government in July 2007 in order to follow up the conclusions of the Shared Equity Task Force (SETF) which reported to the Department in December 2006. Communities and Local Government asked that the review should consider what has happened in the private shared equity market since December 2006 and whether there are any barriers which have held it back; and provide advice on what the future might hold for private shared equity.

Key questions included in the terms of reference were:

• Is the market developing as the Shared Equity Task Force predicted?
• What shared equity products currently exist and how successful are they?
• Are any barriers to the development of the market due to market or state failures?
• What does the future of the private shared equity market look like and what can be done, by the public and private sectors, to facilitate its development?

The Terms of Reference for the review are at Annex A.

The review was based principally upon discussions held with a range of organisations drawn from building societies, commercial banks, investment banks, institutional investors, property advisors, independent financial advisers and house builders.

The fact-finding and discussions upon which the review was based took place between September and December 2007. Therefore the conclusions of the report (except where stated) are drawn from the state of the market, and opinions about it, as at that time.

The report will not be published in full as it contains commercially confidential information.

The findings and recommendations in this report are those of the consultant authors and do not necessarily represent the views or proposed policies of Communities and Local Government.
