Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Home ownership sectors in most European countries have grown in size. Whatever assets European households have acquired in recent decades, real estate appears to form a significant element in wealth portfolios. Frequently, national governments have been active in promoting the shift-in tenure balance. The general question pursued in this book is about the gains and losses accruing to individual households by virtue of their position as home owners. The focus, here, is on financial gains and losses. This book is also concerned with the losses, in the form of repayment risk, related to, difficulties that some households may experience in meeting housing loan repayment schedules. The immediate background to this volume is the Conference on Housing Growth and Regeneration. Hosted by the Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research, Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge, it was held under the auspices of the European Network of Housing Researchers.
