The Negotiator highlights insights from Kettel Homes' CEO, Trevor Stunden, on this year’s Labour Party Conference. While positive strides were made, Trevor discusses the key areas where more can be done to support young families in the "squeezed middle" as they strive to achieve homeownership. https://lnkd.in/exrQWtNf

The UK's first open market rent-to-own programme that helps first-time buyers achieve their goal of homeownership
About us
Kettel Homes is the UK's first open market rent-to-own programme that helps first-time buyers achieve their goal of homeownership. Learn more at www.kettelhomes.com. The growth in house prices, the tightening of lending criteria and the stagnation of wages have led to young people across the UK being left behind when it comes to homeownership. The average age of a first-time buyer outside of London has gone up by almost 3 years since 2006, contributing to a 25% decline in homeownership for this age group. We're backed by supportive and socially minded investors at the Fair by Design Fund (Ascension), Nationwide Building Society (NBS Ventures) and Entrepreneur First.

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.

This morning's BBC News article, featuring data from Oxford Economics and Skipton Building Society, highlights the growing challenges first-time buyers face in today's housing market, even if perceived to have a well-paying job. As the article points out (and of no shock to anyone), many are struggling to save for deposits and navigate rising property prices. Crossing the chasm that is the leap from renting to owning is a major milestone and one we as a country need to think about when setting both short and long-term policy and funding objectives. At Kettel Homes, we believe in the importance of making homeownership accessible. Our rent-to-own model helps bridge the gap, providing a realistic path for aspiring homeowners to achieve financial security and stability. With the biggest leap from renting to owning, let's work together to make homeownership more achievable. https://lnkd.in/e5kwUcjF

Today marks the launch of the new curriculum review, and we at Kettel Homes urge the new Education Minister, Bridget Phillipson, and the Department for Education to consider introducing a basic financial literacy course for everyday life. Teaching children about mortgages, compound interest, pensions, and investments is essential for their future financial wellbeing. Understanding these concepts early on will empower the next generation to make informed financial decisions and secure their financial futures. Let's equip our children with the knowledge they need to navigate the complexities of personal finance. #FinancialEducation #FinancialLiteracy #FutureReady #EducationReform #Labour

Stephen Timms' article in City AM today excellently outlines the need for Labour to adopt a more creative approach in connecting social impact businesses with private capital. Given limited funds, his proposal to establish an Office for the Impact Economy to align socially motivated capital and businesses with their missions is one we at Kettel wholeheartedly support. Collaboration is essential to harness opportunities and drive change across the country. We look forward to working with our new partners in government to help address the challenges faced by first-time buyers in the squeezed middle. https://lnkd.in/e8KU2DGP

Today, our CIO & Co-founder, Milan Pavlovic, delivered a fantastic presentation at the UKREiiF Pitch event in front of a great crowd. It was an excellent opportunity to showcase Kettel's rent-to-own platform, offering struggling first-time buyers an alternative route to homeownership. A big thank you to the UKREiiF team and Freddie Fforde for organising, as well as to Pagabo Group for sponsoring the event. It's great to see UKREiiF supporting UK focused PropTech companies. #UKREiiF #firsttimebuyers #UKRealEstate #PagaboGroup #KettelHomes
