Deputy Prime Minister written question – answered at on 17 November 2004.
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many shared ownership properties were sold in Southwark in each year since 1997; and how many of those properties were purchased by (a) someone already in social housing in that area, (b) someone on the single housing register in that area and (c) a key worker.
Estimates of annual shared ownership sales in Southwark from 1997–98 to 2003–04 are tabled as follows:
Total shared ownership sales in Southwark | Shared ownership sales to people who were previously social tenants in Southwark | Shared ownership sales in Southwark to purchasers who were registered on a local authority waiting list/common housing register | |
---|---|---|---|
1997–98 | 4 | 1 | 2 |
1998–99 | 64 | 21 | 14 |
1999–2000 | 21 | 4 | 9 |
2000–01 | 10 | 5 | 6 |
2001–02 | 61 | 31 | 19 |
2002–03 | 44 | 26 | 10 |
2003–04 | 76 | 15 | 35 |
Note:
The occupation of purchasers was not collected as part of CORE Sales during the period 1997–98 to 2003–04. Consequently it is not possible to provide figures on the number of key workers that bought shared ownership properties in Southwark during this period.
