Our partner Trevor Stunden discusses with Inside Housing why the market must explore alternative pathways to homeownership. As shared ownership grant funding faces potential reallocation, innovative solutions like private market rent-to-own are vital to driving additionality in the housing sector and helping more people achieve their dream of owning a home. https://lnkd.in/exWTG53D

Today marks the start of the next exciting chapter for Kettel Homes as we announce our new £150m single-family Rent to Own strategy through Kettel Investment Management.   This initiative comes at a crucial time, as we look to address the significant challenges facing young families in the ‘squeezed middle’ achieve their dream of homeownership.   For more details on this pivotal announcement, read the full story in Green Street News: Europe: https://lnkd.in/eGnJcU46   Lars Kreutzmann, Partner at Kettel Investment Management, shared his perspective on the strategy’s importance: "I joined the team to spearhead the Kettel Rent to Own strategy because of the unique opportunity it presents at a time when demand for homeownership is soaring, and institutional interest in single-family housing is growing. Through this strategy, Kettel will contribute directly to the government’s ambition of delivering 1.5 million new homes while creating measurable social and environmental benefits."   Trevor Stunden, Kettel Homes CEO, highlighted the urgent need for such a solution: "Kettel Homes was established as an alternative route for families in the ‘squeezed middle’ to access homeownership without the burden of a large upfront deposit. There are currently around 2.8 million households in private rentals eager to buy a home but unable to do so, with 51% of first-time buyers citing the deposit as the main obstacle. On top of this, a majority of rental properties are EPC D-rated, compounding financial and environmental pressures." #RentToOwn #RealEstateInvestment #SingleFamilyHousing #InstitutionalInvestment #Launch

At Kettel Homes, we believe in the powerful role regional investment plays in creating more homes and facilitating the dream of homeownership, all while giving access to real scale and diversification of portfolios for institutional investors.   In a new article published by CoStar Group, Lars Kreutzmann, Partner at Kettel Homes, discusses how under the new Labour government, local government/pension funds can make a vital contribution by investing in private real estate to meet housing demand. As a rent-to-own platform focused on single family housing, Kettel Homes seeks to unlock home ownership and stimulate new housing delivery to help thousands of families per year get on the property ladder.    Read the full article, here: https://lnkd.in/g7jjZRhN   #PensionFunds #RealEstateInvestment #RentToOwn #ImpactInvestment #SocialImpact

Falling homeownership among working-age adults is now the fastest-growing threat to retirement security, according to the Pensions Policy Institute (PPI). Most pension models assume retirees own their homes and don't need extra pension savings for rent. But with homeownership rates declining, that assumption is increasingly challenged. PPI reported at a recent Pensions for Purpose conference on housing that a single male renting a one-bedroom flat would need to save an extra £179,000 outside London and a staggering £315,000 in London just to cover rent in retirement. This alarming gap puts today’s workers at serious risk of pension poverty. Homeownership offers many benefits, but one often overlooked is its role as a powerful forced savings mechanism. As working-age adults build equity in their homes, they’re gradually eliminating a major future expense—housing—when they’re no longer earning an income. This not only secures a place to live, both today and in the future, but also creates a valuable pool of capital that can be drawn upon in retirement. It's a game-changer for long-term financial security.
