Abstract
This book analyses the contemporary housing finance system in the UK. Housing finance can seem complicated and difficult — the purpose of this chapter is to explain both why it is somewhat complex and also why it is worth persevering to understand the system. This chapter considers:
-
Why does the housing finance system exist?
-
Why is housing finance important?
-
What are the main institutions involved in operating the system?
-
What are the main problems for housing finance policy in the UK?
