South East Housing Market Profile

This profile contains information about the population, housing stock, market performance and demand for housing in the South East HMA. The Housing Market Area Profiles have been developed as a guide for future housing delivery on sites located across the city. The profiles offer recommendations on the housing that would be suitable to meet the current need in the area and to diversify the stock that is available in order to attract households to the area. The profiles also provide useful evidence and data on the population and housing levels across Sheffield which can be utilised in other reports and publications. This HMA data is compared with the Sheffield average to put the area in the wider context of the city. The data used in this profile is from a number of sources, including the 2011 Census, 2013 Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA), Council data, Experian and Land Registry sales. The SHMA data is based on a household survey of a statistically representative sample of 3,363 households living in Sheffield and accords well with the spatial, tenure & demographic profile of the city. Prior to the analysis the data was weighted by household type to ensure that it is representative as possible thus compensating for non-response bias. More information on the data can be found in the sources section of the profiles. The profile includes the following sections: Section 1 - Area description: A description of the neighbourhoods within the HMA Section 2 - Household profile: Demographics of the population and the households in the HMA Section 3 - Economic profile: Employment and incomes Section 4 - Housing profile: Current housing available, including the type, size, tenure and adequacy of the housing Section 5 - Neighbourhood profile: Neighbourhood satisfaction, crime and educational attainment Section 6 - Recently moved to HMA: People who have moved in the HMA and the reasons for this Section 7 - Supply from moving households: Supply of housing that might become available in the HMA by households moving in the next 5 years Section 8 - Demand from existing households: Future demand for housing from existing households planning to move to the HMA, including demand for different types, sizes and tenures of home Section 9 - Existing households that could not move in the last 5 years and the reasons why Section 10 - Newly forming households: Demand for housing from new households who may form in the next 5 years Section 11 - Supply and Demand balance - Details about the estimated turnover of housing in the HMA, and how this matches with demand. Identifies shortfalls or surpluses of different sizes and tenures of homes to act as a guide for development. Section 12 - Social rented market: Details of the social housing stock and turnover Section 13 - Home ownership market: Average house prices, property sales, completions and the income required to afford to buy a property Section 14 - Private rented market: Average private rents and the income required to afford to rent a home Section 15 - Housing affordability - Level of income spent on housing costs, difficulties affording housing costs and housing benefit claimants Section 16 - Older people's accommodation: Supply of older people's accommodation and the demand for this in the HMA Section 17 - Care and support needs: Disabled households and the demand for adaptations, and care and support from the SHMA Section 18 – Conclusions: Brief conclusions drawing out the key points from the sections. Section 19 – Housing recommendations: Recommendations on the types of housing that is needed in the area to meet demand and attracts households to the area.

Section 1: Area description

The South East Housing Market Area borders Rotherham to the east and North East Derbyshire to the south. The area contains a number of large suburbs from different eras, but has experienced very significant expansion since the 1970’s centred on the Mosborough Townships. The South East HMA has good transport links to the M1 motorway and the City Centre via the Sheffield Parkway, Supertram ‘blue’ route and regular bus services, and is also well serviced by a number of district centres such as Crystal Peaks shopping centre. The South East HMA has large numbers of households of various types, including settled home owning families, younger home owning singles and couples , older social renters, pre-family newcomers, mature single homeowners of low value homes, and comfortable pre-retirement couples with more disposable income since their children left home. The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment identified sites in the South East with the capacity for over 2,400 dwelli ngs, mostly on sites with the capacity for over 25 dwellings and including 6 sites with the capacity for more than 100 homes. The area contains the neighbourhoods of: Basegreen – is situated around 6 miles from the City Centre and is bordered on the west by the A6102 Ridgeway Road, Hollinsend Road in th e north and White Lane. The majority of the properties are Council owned and there is a small shopping area and limited open spaces at Seagreav e and Jaunty Park to the north east. Beighton – lies 7 ½ miles south-east of the City Centre and just to the south of the A57 Mosborough Parkway. Originally a mining village t his is now a suburban settlement with a mixture of privately owned housing and council owned properties. These are mainly houses and bungalows with a few flats. Beighton has a small high street with a range of local amenities, including a bank and post office, and is also adjacent to Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre. Beighton has three primary schools, two churches; two health centres and the Beighton Sports and Leisure Club. Birley – this neighbourhood lies approximately 6½ miles south-east of the City Centre and contains four distinct communities: Birley estate, Frecheville, Newstead and Weaklands. Birley is a traditional brick-built estate with detached and semi-detached family homes and a small number of flats. The older part of the estate was built as council housing with some private housing added during the 1960's. Frecheville was originally develop ed as housing for rent, although many houses have since been sold through right-to-buy. Frechville has a local school, a parade of shops, public houses and an Adult Learning Centre. Newstead and Weaklands estates on either side of the A6135 were originally built during the 1960's and contained mostly non -traditional council housing. These properties have recently been demolished and new housing to rent and buy is being developed. Charnock - lies around 3½ miles south east of the City Centre on the Derbyshire boundary and is surrounded by woodland and farmland to t he south. The neighbourhood is bounded by the A6102 Ridgeway Road to the north-west and White Lane to north-east. The former Lightwood Training Centre dominates the south-west corner of the neighbourhood. The majority of the housing is post war, semi-detached and owner occupied, with two pockets of council housing in the south-west and south-east of the neighbourhood. There is a small shopping area, which also has a medical centre and library. Hackenthorpe – is located between the A57 and the A6135 around 7 miles south-east of the City Centre. It includes the Hackenthorpe estate, Hackenthorpe village and the Scowerdons estate. The Hackenthorpe estate is a brick built council estate made up of semi -detached houses and a few flats. It has a good range of amenities and schools. The Victorian Bath house and cold dipping pool at the Birley Spa re-opened in early 2003. Hackenthorpe village mostly comprises of owner occupied, brick built, detached and semi-detached houses and bungalows. Scowerdons estate has now been demolished and new homes are being developed for sale and rent.

The area has infant and junior schools, an industrial estate, a supermarket, a DIY warehouse, and a small neighbourhood centre containing a bus terminus, shops and a pub. The Supertram also terminates at Halfway. Handsworth - lies 4 miles to the east of the city centre and is bordered by Sheffield Parkway and the new Advanced Manufacturing Park in Rotherham. It is a mixed residential area of predominantly private housing and is served by good transport links. Although there are a small number of shops along Handsworth Road the large Asda store accounts for a significant amount of local retail.

Westfield - is situated 8 miles south-east of the City Centre and housing on the estate is predominantly council-owned stock. The neighbourhood is split into three zones, with residential land use to the north-west, industrial and commercial premises at the centre, and open space and agricultural land adjacent to the railway and River Rother to the south east. There is a good range of local amenities on the estate, which has a central open space where the local primary school, community room, health centre and shops are situated. Woodhouse - lies just off the A57, 4 miles south east of the City Centre on the border with Rotherham. The one time mining community has a long and varied history. Properties are a mixture of council housing and owner occupied stock, some older properties and some recently built as the village expanded to meet demand in the 1970s. The village has a good district shopping centre containing council offices, a library and health centres. Residents have good access to valuable open space and ecological sites including Shire Brook Valley nature reserve, Sally Clarke's Meadow, Shirtcliffe Valley and the Woodhouse Washlands. Woodthorpe - lies to the east of the Manor and Manor Park area, and is bounded to the north-east by the Mosborough Parkway and to the east by Richmond Road. The area enjoys excellent views across the nature reserve and ancient woodland at Bowden Housteads Wood. Housing is mostly council owned, built in the mid-twentieth century, but many properties have been bought through right-to-buy.

The Household Profile data is from the Census 2011.

The South East is the largest HMA in the city covering 12.7 square miles and therefore has the largest population. Despite this, the average household size is lower than the city average. The population in the South East tends to be older than in Sheffield overall. 37% of the population in the South East are aged over 50 years compared to 32% citywide. The neighbourhoods of Birley and Charnock have the highest population over 50 years at 44%. This could present challenges for the area in the future as the population continues to age and requires alternative accommodation and support. On the whole the BME population is small in this HMA at only 6%. However, the BME population that does exist in the area tends to be clustered in select neighbourhoods, such as Woodthorpe where 11% of the population are from a BME community.

The household types are similar to the city average and mainly consist of single households, which are likely to be older people and couples with or without dependant children. The suburban nature of the South East is popular with young families due to the good transport links and the large supply of relatively affordable family housing, which offers better value for money when compared to other areas in the city, such as the South West. There is only a small number of all student households in the South East and this reflects the distance from both university campuses as travel by either car or public transport is required. The descriptions of the South East's main mosaic categories all stress the importance of the affordability of its housing of fer to its residents. So while average property prices are lower than the city average (section 13) the market is fairly vibrant with low rates of vacant pr operties, and anecdotal evidence that 'entry level' properties and good value family homes are quick to sell.

Section 2: Summary • The South East has the largest population of all the HMA's and more people living there are aged over 50 years. This could pr esent challenges for the area in the

future in terms of ensuring there is suitable accommodation and support for people as they age.

• Reflecting citywide just over a third of households only contain one person which results in a lower household size.

• There are slightly more households in the South East with dependent children than citywide which suggests that the area is al so popular with families.

More people in the South East are in full or part time employment than citywide. A higher proportion of residents are also retired which reflects the larger older population in the area. The SHMA identified that around a fifth of people live and work within the South East and over a third of people work elsewhere in the city. The most common occupations amongst people living in the South East are Skilled Trades and Administration and Secretarial roles, while there are fewer people in professional jobs living in the area compared to citywide.

- JSA data is the December 2016 claimant rate from the Office of National Statistics, and also includes people who claim Universal Credit for reason of unemployment. - The income data in Table 8 and Figure 4 is from Mosaic 2016.

The median income in the South East is slightly higher than citywide and the highest proportion of households have an income in the £30 -£39k band. The proportion of higher earning households over £50k is smaller than overall in Sheffield and reflects the lower number of people in professional occupations (Table 6). Average incomes vary across the Wards in the South East. For instance, the Beighton Ward has an income of £31,479 compared to the Woodhouse Ward which only has a household income of £26,806.

The JSA and Universal Credit due to unemployment claimant rate is slightly lower in this area which reflects the higher proportion of people in employment. The number of claimants varies significantly between Wards with 345 in Richmond Ward compared to 190 in Birley Ward. This indicates differing levels of deprivation in the South East and suggests some areas may require more intensive than others.

The SHMA asked homeowners how much equity they thought they had in their property and this is shown in Table 9. Table 10 is the level of savings all existing households said they have regardless of the tenure they live.

The SHMA survey in 2013 found slightly more homeowners said they were in negative equity in the South East than citywide, and fewer households with equity over £150,000. This was a reflection of the lower house values in the South East due to the smaller number of upper priced properties and also the fall in house prices that the South East experienced after 2008. Negative equity should no longer be an issue for these households as house prices in the South East exceeded their 2008 level during 2015. The citywide average price had recovered by around 2013. More information about average house prices can be found in Section 13.

The numbers of people with savings of less than £5,000 is higher than citywide. The households with lower savings will therefore have limited choices if they are looking to buy a typical property in the South East. Households who are not able to use equity to trade up may require assistance from schemes such as 'Help to Buy' or look to shared ownership.

Section 3: Summary • The employment rate in the South East is higher than the

Sheffield average and slightly fewer people are claiming benefits due to unemployment.

• 48% of households have an income of less than £25,000 (approximate Sheffield median)

• Income levels vary across the South East with wards such as Mosborough having higher average incomes than others.

• Equity levels are lower in the South East, this partly reflects the lower house values and comparable types of the properties in the area. It was also a consequence of the greater fall in house prices in this area since 2008 at the time the SHMA survey took place in 2013.

• The numbers of people with under £5,000 in savings are higher than citywide, which will limit the options available for them if they are aiming to buy a property.

There are more home owners in this area than citywide, but this varies across the neighbourhoods. Home ownership reaches 87% in Sothall, but is only 43% in Woodthorpe. The social stock is the same as citywide, but the private rented market is half the size of the city's. The private rented market is smaller in this area because the South East has very few students who normally drive this market.

The most common types in the South East are semi-detached and detached properties and some neighbourhoods have a greater proportion of family housing than others, such as Birley and Handsworth where over three-quarters of the stock are semi-detached, and Owlthorpe where half of properties are detached. Whilst this suggests a good housing offer for households wanting a home at the middle to upper-end of the market, it also means that there are fewer 'starter' homes available, such as flats and terrace houses. Only the neighbourhoods of Woodhouse and Richmond have a higher percentage of flats than citywide.

Reflecting the higher number of semi-detached houses in the area, half the properties have three bedrooms. The proportion of properties with four or more bedrooms is smaller across the whole of the South East. However, there are some neighbourhoods in the South East that have a higher supply of larger properties, namely Mosborough (25%) and Sothall (23%). Although there are fewer flats and terrace houses in the South East the proportion of one and two bedroom properties reflects the city average. This could suggest that the smaller properties are mainly semi-detached houses and bungalows.

9% of the city's new build developments have taken place in the South East over the last six years, with the highest number built in 2011/12. The majority of the new build in recent years has been in the Birley Ward. This is largely due to the new developments taking place at SWAN (Scowerdons, Weaklands and Newstead) to replace the non-traditional Vic Hallam properties that have been demolished in recent years, but also includes other developments in the surrounding area, such as Thornbridge Lane.

Table 14 shows the number of properties built in the HMA and in Sheffield since 2009.

The information in Table 16 is based on responses to the 2013 SHMA. Households were asked if their home was adequate for their needs. If they thought it was inadequate they were asked for the reasons. This was a multiple choice question and households could select as many options as they liked. The percentages therefore represents the proportion of households who chose this reason as one of their options, which is why the percentages in the table do not add up 100%.

The information in Table 15 about vacant properties is taken from data on the Council Tax Register December 2016. 'Long term vacant properties' is defined as those that have been vacant for 6 months or more.

The vacancy rate in the South East is lower than citywide at 1.2% compared to 1.8% and a smaller proportion of these properties remain empty for 6 months or more.

Table 17 - Occupancy


% overcrowded 3% 3%

% under occupying 69% 71%

% under occupying in SRS 32% 40%

A lower proportion of households in the South East feel their home is inadequate than in Sheffield overall, 11% compared to 14%. The home needing improvements/repairs is the main reason why people in the South East believe their home is inadequate, but this proportion is lower than citywide. The size of the home is also an issue in the South East. The home being too small or not having enough bedrooms were given as the second and third most popular reasons for the inadequacy. This is despite the fact that the South East has a smaller than average household size an d the same level of overcrowding as in the city. This could suggest that residents are aspiring for larger properties with more bedrooms or that the size of t he rooms in the newer properties in the South East are not as spacious as older properties or properties elsewhere in the city. A higher proportion of residents feel their home is inadequate because the garden is difficult to maintain. This could be bec ause of the large older population in the area or the fact that properties in the South East are more likely to have gardens when compared to other HMAs that ha ve more terrace housing, such as the City Centre West.

The information in Table 17 is from the 2013 SHMA and is based on households needing one less or one more bedroom than the household size needs.

Section 4: Summary • The South East is characterised by three bedroom semi-detached houses, which include ex-Council right to buys, 1960's and 1970's developments and new builds.

• More households own their home than in Sheffield and people generally feel that their home is adequate to meet their needs.

• Completions of new properties fell to 52, the lowest number for several years.

• Vacancy rates are lower than the city average.

• Fewer households feel their home is inadequate because it needs repairs and improvements.

• A larger proportion of people need assistance to maintain their garden, which seems to be a reflection of the high older population in the area and the tendency

for properties in this area to have gardens.

Shopping facilities

The information in Table 18 is from the 2013 SHMA and measures neighbourhood satisfaction. The households were asked to chose the: a) Most important neighbourhood qualities that make a great place to live; and b) Neighbourhood qualities that need improving in their neighbourhood. This was a multiple choice question and households could select as many options as they liked. The percentages therefore represent the proportion of households who chose this reason as one of their options, which is why the percentages in the table do not add up 100%. The top 5 answers for each question are shown in this table. A higher percentage means that more people chose this as an option and therefore the issue is more important in this area.

Table 18 shows that almost three-quarters of households are satisfied with the South East as a place to live which is higher than in Sheffield overall. The condition of the roads and pavements are seen as the most important quality and also as the factor most in need of improvement. The Streets Ahead programme may be helping to improve perceptions of the condition of roads and pavements in the area. Shopping facilities and the visual appearance of properties are more important qualities in South East than in Sheffield, but residents do not feel these need improving. This area does benefit from good shopping facilities, such as Crystal Peaks and also has fewer older properties. A higher proportion of residents in the South East believe that the activities for teenagers need to be improved than citywide. The range of community facilities on offer in the South East differs across the neighbourhoods. Some areas have many community and leisure facilities, such as Mosborough and Birley while others have limited facilities for instance Owlthorpe which only has a medical centre.

Although the South East experiences lower levels of crime and ASB than overall in Sheffield there is a perception amongst residents that crime and ASB needs improving. This could be because the crime/ASB rates are higher in some neighbourhoods than others. Woodhouse for instance had 94 ASB and 86 crime incidences per 1,000 of the population. Other Neighbourhoods such as Charnock and Owlthorpe have much lower levels of ASB and crime.

Table 19 is from South Yorkshire Police statistics and shows the number of crime and ASB incidents from December 2015 to November 2016. This is then calculated by 1000 of the population to indicate the rate of crime and ASB as compared with citywide.

Section 5: Summary • Almost three-quarters of residents are satisfied with

the South East as a place to live which is considerably higher than citywide.

• Despite the lower levels of crime and ASB in the South East a higher proportion of households feel this needs to be improved than citywide. This suggests that there is a perception amongst residents that the area is not safe, which could be a reflection of the older and family population in the area who are more likely to feel vulnerable.

• There are particular crime and ASB problems in Westfield and the Mosborough Ward Plan has identified activities to help address some of the issues.

• School performance in the South East is similar to citywide which will help meet the needs of families living in the area. However it does vary from school to school.

The South East is served by five secondary schools: Birley Community College, Outward Academy City School, Handsworth Grange Community Sports College, Handsworth Christian School and Westfield School, and has a large number of primary schools. Secondary School performance in 2016 was similar to citywide, but this varies across the neighbourhoods. 67% of pupils at Outward Academy achieved GCSE's at A*- C in English and Maths , while only 47% met this target at Birley. The South East also contains the Peaks College which offers A Levels and vocational courses as well as adult learning.

This helps us understand the in-migration and the things that draw people to the area. This was a multiple choice question and households could select as many options as they liked. The percentages therefore represent the proportion of households who chose this reason as one of their options, which is why the percentages in the table do not add up to 100%.

Section 6: Summary • A quarter of households have moved in the South East in the last five years and this

is lower than the 31% of movers citywide.

• Only 13% (1,278) of these households were from outside Sheffield. These households were mainly from elsewhere in the UK, the Derbyshire Dales and North East Derbyshire, which borders the South East HMA at its most southerly part.

• The larger properties on offer for sale in the South East were the biggest draw for people moving to the area. This could be because of the better value for money family housing that the area offers when compared to other parts of the city, such as the South West.

The supply information is from the 2013 SHMA. This data provides a guide on the percentage of households in the area that said they expect to move in the next five years, and therefore the types of properties there are likely to become available through the turnover of the existing stock. This informs the supply and demand balance in Section 11.

The current dwelling type of households moving in the next 5 years is fairly representative of the overall proportion of stock in the area (Table 11). This suggests that a supply of all property types will become available to buyers, with perhaps just a slight constriction in the supply of detached properties as they make up 19% of stock and 16% of movers.

Around a fifth of households in the South East expect to move in the next 5 years which is a smaller turnover of households than citywide. Most of the households intend to stay in Sheffield which will create demand for properties in the South East and elsewhere in the city.

Three bedroom properties are the most likely properties to become available in this HMA over the next 5 years, which is in line with the profile of stock in the South East. The turnover of the other properties in the area is slightly lower compared to citywide which could imply a shortfall of these size properties in the South East.

Reflecting the housing stock profile in the South East more home owners will move in the next 5 years than across Sheffield. This will provide more opportunities for First Time Buyers currently living in the area and elsewhere in the city. However, the higher supply of homes for sale could create more competition in the market for sellers and they may need to be prepared to negotiate their asking prices. The turnover in the rented sector is lower than citywide which limits the housing options available for households unable to buy.

Section 7: Summary • Around a fifth of existing households in the South East expect to move in the next 5 years. This equates to a 4% turnover of the existing stock which is smaller than

the citywide turnover at 6%.

• The current dwelling type of households moving in the next 5 years is fairly representative of the overall proportion of stoc k in the area (Table 11). Suggesting that a supply of all property types will become available to buyers

• Home owners are more likely to move. This will provide more opportunities for people looking to buy in the area, but could cr eate competition for sellers which will mean homeowners may need to be prepared to negotiate their asking prices.

• Needing a bigger garden and property access problems are more common reasons for households moving in the South East than cit ywide. A garden could be a key requirement for the families in the area along with the older households such as the 'Classic Grandparents' mosaic group. The access issues indicate that the older and disabled households could be struggling in their current housing. See Sections 16 and 17 for more information.

The 2013 SHMA asked households the reasons why they want to move in the next five years. This was a multiple choice question and households could select as many options as they liked. The percentages therefore represent the proportion of households who chose this reason as one of their options, which is why the percentages in the table do not add up 100%. The table shows the five most popular answers given in the HMA and in Sheffield.

The first two reasons why households want to move in the South East are the same as citywide, but the others differ. The desire for a bigger garden may relate to the large number of families living in the area and the need for more outside space, or could suggest that the gardens in the area are too small especially in new build properties. The fact that access problems is a common reason for moving could relate to the larger older population in the South East and suggests that the accommodation is not meeting their needs. Older people's housing needs are discussed further in Section 16. Wanting to be closer to work probably reflects the distance to the City Centre from the South East, with the furthest outlaying neighbourhood of Halfway being 8 miles out of the centre. Nevertheless the area does have good transport links including the Supertram, Mosborough parkway and a frequent bus service.

This section discusses the demand from households that expect to move within or to this HMA in the next 5 years. The 2013 SHMA asked households who planned to move within or to this area what properties they would 'Like' and 'Expect'. 'Like' is used to measure the aspirations of households and gaps in the market, while 'Expect' generally reflects the current stock in the area and the households financial constraints. The moving preferences of these households acts as guide to the inform the housing that is needed in the area, and informs the supply and demand balance in Section 11. The housing requirements recommended in Section 19 consider this alongside the current population and housing stock in the area, the available housing development sites and the future aspirations and sustainability of the area.

Like Expect

Tables 28 and 29 show that the highest proportion of households in the South East would like and expect a semi-detached house which is in line with the stock profile of the area. Although there are lower levels of terrace houses and flats in the South East more people expect to get one than would like. Indicating that many households may only be able to afford to access these kinds of properties. There is also demand for detached houses and bungalows in this HMA, but none of the households moving to the South East who completed the SHMA survey expect to achieve these. These types of properties are the most expensive in the area, with an average detached property selling at £175,865, which will put them outside of the budget for many households living in the South East.

Tables 30 and 31 show that over half of households in the South East would like to own their home, but only a third expect to achieve this. This could be because home ownership is out of reach for some households in the South East due to the lower income levels and savings amongst households in some parts of the area. Shared ownership could therefore be an option for these households given the slightly higher level of demand in the South East when compared to Sheffield overall. The demand for council housing in the South East is considerably higher than citywide. The Lack of demand for Registered Provider social housing might suggest that households are unaware of the properties that are available in this sector or how to access them. Therefore more communication is needed so that the RPs can share the demand for social housing with the Council. More information on social housing turnover and demand is available in Section 12.

Like Expect

Despite half of all properties in the area having 3 bedrooms demand is greatest for 2 bedrooms. This could be because 2 bed properties are more affordable and generally popular with first time buyers, as well as households who can use their equity to downsize. There are a particular shortages of 2 bed properties in the neighbourhoods of Charnock and Richmond. Demand for properties with four or more bedrooms is lower than citywide and fewer people expect to achieve this. Larger properties are more expensive to buy and there is also a limited supply of these in the social rented sector.

Section 8: Summary • 8% of the moving households in Sheffield intend to move within or to

the South East, which is the third highest demand for an area in the city.

• Demand is greatest for semi-detached housing and there is also some demand for detached houses and bungalows.

• Fewer households expect to achieve home ownership than would like, which suggests home ownership is out of reach for some households. Therefore shared ownership could be an option in this area as there is some demand.

• The demand for council housing in the South East is considerably higher than citywide, suggesting that new council housing would be appropriate for the area.

• Despite the large supply of three bedrooms in the area, the demand is greatest for two bedrooms from households wishing to move to the South East.

Section 9: Summary

• The percentage of households that have been unable to move in the South East over the last 5 years is lower than citywide at 28% compared to 33%, but this still equates to almost 4,000 households.

• This suggests that the area has some pent up demand that could be realised if the restrictions to moving were relieved therefore creating a greater housing requirement in the area.

• The monthly mortgage payment and the moving costs are the main reasons these households have been unable to move. This could be consequence of the low saving levels and negative equity of some households at the time of the survey.

• The problems with moving costs were found across all tenures.

The 2013 SHMA asked existing households if they have any people in their household that are likely to move in the next 5 years to form their own household e.g. son/daughter moving out. These are known as newly forming households. Although the SHMA did not ask where these households expect to move to, we do know that each HMA is a relatively self-contained market and that households are most likely to move within their local area due to the 'place attachment' that they have to the area they live. This is supported by Rightmove data which shows that a quarter of all house searches are within a 1 square mile radius.

Over 2,000 new households are expecting to form from households within the South East over the next 5 years, which is the highest in the city. Almost half of these are single people and just over a third are couples with no children. Given the limited supply of smaller properties available in the area it cannot be assumed that all these households will remain living in the area.

Council housing is the most popular tenure amongst newly forming households, which highlights the high demand for Council housing in the area. There is a considerably lower level of need for private rented accommodation compared to citywide, which may help account for the smaller size of this tenure in the South East. There is also some small demand for shared ownership which could be explored as an option for future developments.

Demand from newly forming households in the South East is mostly for smaller one and two bedroom properties. The demand for smaller properties was from those who intended to buy as well as those who planed to rent from the Council. Smaller properties offer more affordable options for households wishing to buy and also meet the needs of single people looking to rent from the Council, as they are restricted to one bedroom properties under the Lettings Policy. However, given the shortfall of small properties in the area it is likely that not all these households will secure a property in the South East.

New households forming from existing households in the South East mainly require flats and semi-detached houses, with a lower proportion of people needing terrace housing. This reflects the over supply of this type of property in the area. The limited supply of flats in the South East means that some of these households may need to look in other areas of the city for this type of property.

• Demand in all tenures is greatest for flats and semi-detached properties with two bedrooms. Given the shortfall of small properties in this area it is likely that some of these newly forming households will need to move out of the South East to elsewhere in the city in order to meet their housing requirements.

• Council housing is the most popular tenure, with 34% of newly forming households requiring this, while a quarter of households need home ownership.

• The mosaic profiles included here give some idea of who the newly forming households in the South East will be in the next fe w years. • The 'Make Do and Move On', 'Disconnected Youth', Flying solo' and Contemporary Starts' suggest a population of young people in interim homes who are likely to

move on and create demand for suitable small properties across all tenure types. The SHMA survey found demand for social a nd private rental homes as well as owner occupation.

• The numbers of Offspring Overspill, Family Ties, Budget Generations and Boomerang Boarders all suggest that a good number of the newly forming households in the South East, as with most HMA's, will come from young adults leaving the parental home. These groups have a range of inco me levels and live in different tenures at present, suggesting again that there will be a requirement for social, and private housing options for these house holds group.

• The 'Midlife Stopgap' group are representative of the older residents of the South East, who may have experienced a change in the make up of their household and have a requirement for a different property type. These older households may have different requirements to younger people a nd may form the basis of a market for housing aimed specifically at older people in future years.

11. Supply and demand balance

Figure 20 - Supply and demand balance by tenure

Figure 21 - Supply and demand balance by bed size

This section shows the balance between supply and demand for different dwellings in this area. This compares the supply of housing becoming available through the turnover of existing stock (Section 7) with the demand for housing in the area. The demand is based on what the existing households said they would like in Section 8 and what the newly forming households require in Section 10. The proportion of demand for each property is compared against the proportion of supply. If demand is higher than supply this will show as a negative, shortfall on the graph (the bar will be below the 0% line). If supply is higher than demand, the bar will be above the 0% line and show as a surplus. For example, if 20% of demand was for terraced houses, and 15% of supply was terraced houses, this would show as a minus 5% shortfall of this type of housing on the graph (the bar would be 5% below the 0% line). This section discusses the tenure and bed size as the type is not directly comparable.

Section 11: Summary • When comparing the tenure of property households said they would

like with the supply to become available, there is an oversupply of owner occupied and Registered Provider housing. The surplus of owner occupation could be for a number of reasons, such as the fact that the stock in this area is similar and there is a need to provide other types and styles of housing. Older homeowners may also be seeking social or specialist housing, while other households may not be able to afford to buy a property.

• The greatest shortfalls are for Council housing and shared ownership, which illustrates the demand in the area.

• There is an oversupply of 3-bed homes, but an undersupply of 1 and 2-bed homes when looking at what households said they would like. The turnover of the larger properties is likely to meet the demand, but providing more properties of the size given the current low supply could draw households to the area that are looking for quality family housing to upsize to.

The South East has the third largest social rented sector in the city with over 9,600 properties, of which three-quarters are council owned. These are mainly located in the neighbourhoods of Woodhouse, Woodthorpe and Hackenthorpe. One and two bed properties make up the majority of the social stock. There are only 75 (1%) larger social rented properties in the South East with four or more bedrooms which is a lower than the proportion citywide. These properties are mainly owned by the Registered Providers (49), but they are not evenly distributed across the neighbourhoods in the South East. The neighbourhood of Birley has the most properties with four or more bedrooms (35). Therefore given the low supply and turnover (Table 44) of larger social rented housing in the area, and the high demand for larger properties (Table 45 ) consideration should be given to including some larger properties in new developments of social housing.

Table 44 shows a number of indicates that measure social housing demand. • CBL lets 2016 - number of council and RP properties that

were let through Choice Based Lettings • Average number of bids - a high number can show

demand for the properties • Average days to re-let - a low number suggests that the

property or area are popular • SHMA affordable housing shortfall - This is the number of

affordable homes that the area and Sheffield need per annum for the next 5 years.

One bed properties made up over half of the social stock let in the South East during 2016, which is higher than the citywide proportion and also the proportion of this type of social stock in the area (see Table 43). A higher turnover rate for one bed properties is a feature in all HMA's. Citywide in 2016 37% of quits in one beds were within 2 years of the tenancy starting, compared to 20% of quits in three beds. Only 2 larger property with four or more bedrooms were let, which again suggests a need for more of these kinds of properties in the area. Overall turnover in the social stock in the South East was 7.4% compared to 7.8% citywide.

710 social rented properties were let in the South East during 2016 this makes up 7% of the stock, slightly less than the 8% citywide figure. Woodhouse had the highest number of lets with 150 properties. The level of bids is higher than the citywide average and the re-let time is lower. This suggests that there is a healthy demand for social housing in this area, despite the fact that the SHMA showed a surplus of 6 affordable properties per annum over the next five years.

Demand is generally good for all property types in the South East. Bid levels are high for two bedroom properties in particular, which may reflect low turnover in some areas. The 7 two beds that became available in Basegreen had an average time for the previous tenancy of over 20 years, while even in Woodhouse where the turnover is higher, the average length of the previous tenancy was 9 years. Three bedroom properties also received higher bids than citywide and this shows that there is some demand for social rented family housing in the South East HMA. However, bid levels vary across the South East, indicating differing levels of demand for different neighbourhoods. Properties in Birley received an average of 78 bids, while Westfield only received an average of 31 bids.

Section 12: Summary • The turnover and demand for social housing in the South East is

similar to the citywide picture in terms of the number of lets and average bid levels.

• There is demand for family properties with three bedrooms, and this is a consequence of the lower turnover of this type of stock.

• Two bed properties received the highest level of bids across the South East this could reflect the lower than average turnover of these types of properties in the area.

The house price information in Tables 47 & 48 is taken from Land Registry sales. The sale data for each HMA has been weighted against the UK House Price Index average price for the city. This is done to ensure that the average house price for each area is not skewed by the number or types of sales in the particular quarter, and to ensure that it gives a true reflection of the property values.

The average house price in the South East is 18% lower than the Sheffield average. However prices have risen at a faster rate than citywide since 2009, 24% compared to 16%. The house prices in this area vary between neighbourhoods. Properties in Mosborough and Owlthorpe average over £168,000. In Hackenthorpe, Richmond and Woodhouse, all areas with a large stock of ex - right to buy properties, the average is under £100,000.

Average prices for all property types in the South East are below the average price for the City. However, the differential varies by property type. While flats are 31% cheaper, terraces are only 20% cheaper. All property types in the South East offer value to buyers, and provide an opportunity to purchase properties that would be out of reach in other areas. Figure 26 highlights that the bulk of the areas properties sell in the £50,000 to £199,000 price range. Detached properties do sell for prices up to £400,000, but sales at this price only make up a very small proportion of all those in the area.

Table 49 shows the incomes needed to buy a average price property and an entry level price in the area. For the average house price the income required is based on providing a 28% deposit and getting a 72% mortgage worth 3.32 times the household income for the average house price. For the entry level house price the income required is based on providing a 15% deposit and getting a 85% mortgage worth 3.567times the household income for the average entry level house price. This are the typical deposits and income multiples provided by the Council of Mortgage Lenders for home movers and first time buyers in December 2016.

Average properties in the South East are affordable for households with the median income of £26,039. Entry level properties are available to those with a 15% deposit and an income of £20,523. However given the varying house prices and incomes in the South East the affordability of properties for home movers and first time buyers does depend on the neighbourhood. An income of over £32,000 plus a 28% deposit would be required to purchase in Mosborough, whereas a household with an income of £22,000 and a deposit can afford a property in Woodhouse or Hackenthorpe.

On average households need to have over £12,000 for a deposit to afford an entry level house in the South East with a 72% mortgage, but households that are currently not in home ownership or have no equity are unlikely to be able to afford this as they only have an average deposit of around £4,000. This suggests that first time buyers will need some assistance to afford the deposit either from their family or Government initiatives, such as Help to Buy, while households that are currently renting in the private or social sector are unlikely to achieve home ownership in this area and may need to look elsewhere.

Table 50 is from the 2013 SHMA and shows the average deposit households are likely to have in this HMA based on their savings, equity and other financial resources. The 'all households' includes all tenures while those with no equity is households living in the rented sectors and also homeowners with negative or no equity in their property.

The turnover rate of owner occupied stock in the South East in 2016 was slightly lower than that in the city as a whole. Only 4 new build homes were sold in the South East, despite the completion of 52 new properties being developed in this area during 2015/16. This would suggest that the majority of development is for rent rather than sale. 61 properties sold for £250-£500k in the period. They were in several neighbourhoods, though the highest values achieved seem to be for large modern detached properties in Mosborough which can sell for over £350,000. None sold for over £500k.

Section 13: Summary • The average house price in the South East is 18% lower than citywide. However house prices vary by neighbourhood with some, such as Mosborough and

Owlthorpe, having significantly higher prices than elsewhere in the area.

• Average earning households can afford the average property in the South East, if they have a deposit, though this may depend on the neighbourhood they are considering buying into.

• Those with lower savings will need assistance from family e.g. parents or access to Government schemes such as Help to Buy to help pay for the deposit.

• Most sales in the area are in the £50,000 to £199,000 range, with only a small number selling at prices higher than this.

• Sales spiked in 2014, but fell by a greater percentage than citywide in 2015, 13% vs 9%. Numbers of sales in 2016 increased from 2015.

Section 14: Summary • The average private rent for properties advertised in the South East during 2016 was £81 a month lower than citywide. All property sizes were cheaper and

although the average rent for a shared property was more expensive this needs to be treated with caution due to the very small number of shared properties advertised.

• The South East has seen a very low growth in rental prices of less than 1% since 2010, compared to 14% citywide. Its distance from the city centre and small number of students could be factors contributing to this.

• Two and three bedroom properties made up 83% of all properties advertised in the South East during 2016, highlighting the limited choice available. There were very few shared and bedsit properties advertised in particular, limiting the options for singles and young people to access this tenure.

• Housing with three or four bedrooms is significantly cheaper than citywide, which provides affordable rental options for families in the South East. • Private renting is more affordable for existing households in the South East than citywide. The area's median income is sufficient to afford the typical three

bedroom property, and only the largest of properties with four or more bedrooms are likely to prove a stretch for the typical household.

The SHMA 2013 asked households how much of their income is spent on rent/mortgage and if people have difficulties with their bills. 25% or below is considered an affordable amount to pay in housing costs. This is captured in Table 56. Table 57 was a multiple choice question and therefore will not total 100% as people can struggle to pay more than one housing cost. The information in Table 58 is from the Council Housing Benefit records from December 2016 and shows the number of claimants in private and social accommodation (not hostel). Please note we do not have records for the tenure and age breakdown for all claimants.

Section 15: Summary • Over half of households spend less than 25% of their income on their

rent or mortgage which means that only a small proportion of people feel they have difficulties with their housing costs.

• 18% of households claim Housing Benefits in the South East which is lower than the citywide proportion.

• The majority of claimants are in the social rented sector which is unsurprising given the large supply of social housing and the small private rented market in this area.

• The high number of working age claimants means Housing Benefit reforms could have a large impact. For instance the Sheffield Hallam University Research 'The impact of welfare reform on communities & households in Sheffield January 2015' shows that working age people living in the Richmond Ward are likely to have a £460 p.a. loss of income in the area when all the Welfare Reforms come into fruition. This is because households are likely to claim more than one benefit.

• The Local Housing Allowance shared accommodation rate of £276.01 pcm is considerably lower then the £400pcm average rent for a room in shared accommodation in the South East. This will cause problems for any single claimants under 35 with no dependents who rely on the private rented sector.

The South East has a much lower proportion of older people's housing per 1,000 of the older population than citywide, which suggests a significant number of older households may not be catered for in this area. Twelve of the older people's schemes in the South East are social rented sheltered housing and nine of the schemes are private care homes. The largest extra care scheme in the city, Brunswick Gardens, is also located at Woodhouse. The scheme has 217 flats and bungalows, and is run by the Extra Care Charitable Trust. Council sheltered housing units that became available in 2016 (Jan-Sep) received similar levels of interest to schemes citywide but took slightly less time to re-let. The older people's accommodation is mainly located in the neighbourhoods of Woodhouse and Hollins End, while the neighbourhoods of Charnock, Owlthorpe, Richmond and Sothall have no older people's provision. This uneven distribution in the South East means that older people that require this accommodation have to move across the area or to different parts of Sheffield, which can be difficult due to social ties and support networks. Opportunities to provide a more even spread of older people's accommodation across the neighbourhoods in the South East should therefore be sought by identifying suitable land for these types of developments. A 150 unit Older People's Independent Living Scheme is planned by the Council in Birley but this will only address some of the shortfall identified by the University of Sheffield.

2034 Shortfall -882 -4767

Generally, older households in the South East require independent accommodation without support, with just 7% of households saying they need external support to help them live independently in their own home. However, it is likely that as people age they will require more care and assistance and that demand for floating support in their own home may increase. This is discussed further in Section 17 'Care & Support'. There is demand for social rented sheltered housing, but more people expect to get sheltered housing than would like. This indicates that the available sheltered accommodation in the area may not sufficiently meeting local needs. There is also demand for Extra Care housing in the South East. Some of this demand could be for the existing scheme at Woodhouse but analysis suggests more provision of this type is likely to be needed.

Section 16: Summary • There is insufficient supply of older people's accommodation to meet the size of the older population in the area, and current provision is not evenly distributed

across the neighbourhoods.

• Opportunities should therefore be sought to identify suitable land in areas where there is little provision. A 150 unit Older People's Independent Living Scheme for affordable rent is planned by the Council in Birley but even if this is delivered the current shortfall will still be significant based on analysis by the University of Sheffield.

• Although the older population in the South East would prefer independent accommodation without support it is likely that as people age they will require more care and assistance and the demand for floating support could increase. Additional extra care provision is therefore worth co nsidering for this area.

• Fewer older people would like social rented sheltered housing than expect to get it, which indicates that the current supply is not necessarily the first option for this population.

• More information about older people's accommodation in the city and the demand for this across the HMA's can be found in the 'Sheffield Guide to Developing Older People's Accommodation'.

The information in Table 66 indicates the balance in demand and supply for older people's specialist independent living housing (such as sheltered and extra-care) and is taken from "Retirement Housing in Sheffield, Supply and Demand to 2034", University of Sheffield (2016).

This section discusses the care and support needs for disabled people and the demand for adapted properties from existing households. Table 67 shows the percentage of disabled people from the Census 2011 and the percentage of households containing a disabled person from the 2013 SHMA. Both the datasets are shown to measure the proportion of disabled people per household. Table 68 and Figure 33 show the types of disability people have. This is from the SHMA as this is not provided in the Census.

Long term limiting illness and physical disability are the most common forms of disability in the South East. The Woodhouse Ward has a number of notable health statistics, with the highest admission rates for chronic diseases and above average mental health referrals. There is also a higher proportion of people with a sensory disability in the South East than citywide, such as a visual or hearing impairment. These barriers should be considered when developing new housing in the area. Lifetime homes that can be easily adapted should be provided and the surrounding street scene needs to be accessible and easy to navigate.

The Census and SHMA shows that the South East has a higher level of people with a disability or long term limiting illness than citywide. This reflects the older population in the area as the Census shows that half of the disabled people in the South East are aged over 65 years.

Table 69 shows the total hours per week that residents in the area receive domiciliary care and the unmet need. Domiciliary care is floating support going into the home to allow people to live independently.

The domiciliary care hours delivered per head of the population in the South East is above the city average, reflecting the l arge older population in the area. As some of the households receiving this care grow older they are likely to require specialist housing with care and/or support, which is in short supply in this area. Households in Woodhouse and Beighton neighbourhoods receive the highest level of domiciliary care hours. As these household s grow older they are more likely to require a move to some type of supported accommodation.

Over 60% of disabled households feel their home is adequate for their needs which is slightly lower than citywide. However, fewer people feel they need to move to resolve this difficulty. This suggests that only minor adaptations are needed to make the properties adequate to meet the household's needs.

The 2013 SHMA asked households with a disabled person if their home is adequate and if not whether they need to move to resolve this difficulty. This is shown in Tables 70 & 71.

Demand is greatest for handrails and bathrooms adaptations in the South East, but the need is lower than citywide. Handrails and minor bathrooms alterations are relatively inexpensive and easy to install so should be feasible for households that wish to remain in their property. Fewer people require wheelchair adaptations and the citywide alarm system in the South East than citywide, which suggests that this provision is already available in the area and may link to the supply of older people's accommodation available in the area.

The 2013 SHMA asked if anyone in the household receives care and if this is inadequate. Households were also asked if someone needed care and what they needed. This shown in Tables 73 and 74.

Households with a disabled resident were asked what kind of support or adaptation they would need to help them stay in their property, as shown in Table 72.

The level of people receiving care is similar to citywide, but fewer people feel this is adequate. Reflecting the reasons given for the inadequacy of homes amongst the whole population in Table 15, disabled people would like more help with looking after their home and garden. This suggests that vulnerable people in the area would benefit from accessing a handy person scheme. Demand for more personal care and preparing meals is also high in the South East and suggests that more floating support should be considered in the area. Further work with older and vulnerable people therefore needs to be undertaken to understand the types and levels of care required.

Section 17: Summary • The South East has a higher level of people with a disability or

long term limiting illness than citywide. Physical and sensory disabilities are more common amongst the South East population.

• South East residents receive the highest levels of domiciliary care hours in the city.

• Handrails and bathrooms adaptations are the most in demand in the South East although the need is lower than citywide. These are relatively inexpensive adaptations and so should be feasible for households that wish to remain in their property.

• Fewer people that receive care feel this is adequate than citywide. Residents would like more help with maintaining their home and garden and with their personal care.

18. South East Summary

Household profile

The South East is the second largest HMA and has the largest population at over 90,000.

The Mosaic profile for this area shows large numbers of various types of household, including settled home owning families, younger home owning singles and

couples, older social renters, pre-family newcomers, mature single homeowners of low value homes, and comfortable pre-retirement couples with more

disposable income since their children left home.

Economic profile

The median income level of £28,447 is a little higher than the citywide median of £27,230.

20% of households have earnings in the £30,000 - £40,0000 band, compared to 165 citywide 16%, and fewer households earn over £50,000 (8% compared to

13%).

A higher proportion of people are in full time employment (40% vs 34%), and the occupation profile tends slightly towards lower paid sectors of the economy

such as administrative and secretarial and machine operatives.

Equity levels for homeowners are slightly lower than citywide, reflecting the lower property values. 44% had over £100,000 equity in their homes compared to

56% citywide.

The South East has a larger proportion of households with less than £5,000 in savings, at 54% compared to 45% citywide. Housing profile

The South East has a large supply of relatively affordable family housing for sale. Over half of the properties are semi-detached three bedroom houses and the

levels of home ownership are higher than citywide at 67% compared to 58%.

The private rented sector is small, comprising only 8% of the market in 2011.

There has been a reasonable amount of recent new build, with 589 property completions in the last 6 years.

3% of households were overcrowded, the same as citywide. 32% of households in the social rented sector were under occupying, less than the 40% figure for

the city as a whole

The SHMA survey found that more households in the South East feel their home is adequate for their needs than across the city, with fewer people saying their

home needs improvements and repairs.

Neighbourhood profile

The 2013 SHMA survey found neighbourhood satisfaction amongst households in the South East was higher than overall in Sheffield.

Public transport, shopping facilities and the appearance of properties were seen as particularly important qualities in the area.

Households said they would like to see improvements to the condition of the roads and pavements and cleaner streets. The AMEY Streets Ahead programme

should now be helping to address this.

While overall levels of crime and ASB are low in the area compared to the citywide average (60 crimes per 1000 population compared to 78 citywide), this varies

across neighbourhoods and was one factor seen as requiring improvement.

Primary and secondary school performance is similar to citywide, but performance varies across the area's schools.

Supply and demand balance (sections 7 to 11)

The 2013 SHMA estimated the supply and demand balance in the East HMA based on the preferences and expectations expressed in the SHMA survey. This

information can act as a guide for the possible surpluses and shortfalls of different bed sizes and tenures in the HMA.

The current dwelling type of households moving in the next 5 years is fairly representative of the overall proportion of stock in the area, suggesting a balanced

supply of property types becoming available.

The preferred tenures of households moving to the South East are owned (51%) and Council rent (45%). However, 19% of these households expect to rent

privately.

Households classified as 'Make Do and Move On', 'Disconnected Youth', Flying solo' and Contemporary Starts' by Mosaic suggest a population of young people

in interim homes who are likely to move on and create demand for suitable small properties across all tenure types.

The greatest shortfalls are for Council properties and shared ownership.

Housing market (sections 12 to 14)

The average house price in the South East is lower than across Sheffield at £123,483 compared to £149,968. The area offers value for money for lower earning

households looking to buy.

The South East's median income (£28,447) is above the income required to afford the average property (£26,786), and the income required to afford the area's

typical entry level (lower quartile) property (£20,523). The higher than average income and the lower than average house price means that the house price to

income ratio is lower than citywide at 4.34 times.

There is some price variation between neighbourhoods. Properties in Mosborough and Owlthorpe achieve on average over £168,000 , whilst Hackenthorpe,

Richmond and Woodhouse average under £100,000.

Savings levels are lower than elsewhere in the city. 31% of existing households have over £10,000 in savings compared to 42% citywide.

Shared ownership or government initiatives such as Help to Buy would be an option for the households who don't currently have the income or deposit to

access the home ownership market.

Demand for affordable social rented housing in the area is strong. Two bed properties in particular attracted an average of 6 1 bids compared to a city average

of 46.

Although the SHMA calculated a small over supply in 2013, as demand is very high in some neighbourhoods and turnover of some properties, especially four

bedroom properties, is low, new social rented housing should be considered for the area.

The private rented market in this area is half the size of the city's at 8% of stock compared to 16%. There is some demand for the private rented sector from

newly forming households and while it is not the preferred option for any households moving to the HMA, some expected to live in private rental

accommodation.

The average rent of £522 is affordable with an income of £25,045. This is lower than the £28,944 required to afford the city average rent of £603.

The average one bed private rent at £425 would be affordable with an income of £20,400.

48

Older people's independent living housing

The South East has the largest older population across the HMAs at nearly 17,000 people, and 25 schemes of specialist older people’s accommodation.

Many of these schemes are social rented sheltered housing (12) and the area has a large extra care scheme at Woodhouse.

Despite this supply, there is insufficient amount of beds/units available to cater for the size of the older population in this area, and this large shortfall is

projected to double by 2034 based on current demographic trends . Much of this demand is likely to be for purchase, including for shared ownership, but

many more units for social/affordable rent will also be required.

Care and support needs

Corresponding with the large older population in the South East, this area has a higher proportion of people with a long term limiting illness or disability than

citywide.

Consequently, there is still demand for home adaptations and support in the home, and it is likely that this will increase as the population continues to age.

At present households mainly require handrails and bathroom adaptations to the home as well as help to maintain their home and garden, and personal care

assistance.

The higher levels of domiciliary care in the South East could translate into an increased need for more specialist accommodation in the area over the next few

years.

Demand for affordable social rented housing in the area is strong. Two bed properties in particular attracted an average of 6 1 bids compared to a city average

of 46.

Although the SHMA calculated a small over supply in 2013, as demand is very high in some neighbourhoods and turnover of some properties, especially four

bedroom properties, is low, new social rented housing should be considered for the area.

The private rented market in this area is half the size of the city's at 8% of stock compared to 16%. There is some demand for the private rented sector from

newly forming households and while it is not the preferred option for any households moving to the HMA, some expected to live in private rental

accommodation.

The average rent of £522 is affordable with an income of £25,045. This is lower than the £28,944 required to afford the city average rent of £603, but is still

unaffordable with the South East median income.

The average one bed private rent at £425 would be affordable with an income of £20,400.

19. South East Housing Recommendations

Recommendations

In summary as a guide there is need for the following types of housing in the South East to help diversify the stock and address unmet need:

Flats and Houses with 1 or 2 Bedrooms - all tenures

There is a shortfall of smaller homes and there is demand from newly forming households and also from downsizers. Analysis suggests demand would come

from households with a range of income levels and property aspirations, therefore these properties should be provided for sale, private rent and social rent.

New private rented properties may be suitable in neighbourhoods such as Hackenthorpe and Richmond, where the very low number of private properties

advertised for let in 2016 suggests a particularly limited supply. Further work is required however to determine the scale of demand in the private rented

sector.

Family Houses with three and four bedrooms for sale

A key feature of the South East market is that it provides an opportunity for households to purchase larger family homes that may not be affordable for them

elsewhere in the city. This new family housing should be detached or semi-detached and properties that offer larger space standards and storage will attract

higher sale values.

Among the neighbourhoods where this type of property would be popular are Mosborough, Birley, Owlthorpe, Halfway and Southall where incomes are higher.

Consideration should be given to the sale and development timeframe of sites to ensure that the market has the capacity to build and sell these homes

promptly in the current market conditions.

1 and 2 bed flats and 2 bed houses as Starter Homes or Shared Ownership

A quarter of newly forming households wanted home ownership, but savings levels may not be sufficient for a mortgage. Starter Homes, Shared Ownership or

other affordable home ownership products may be appropriate for these households.

Affordable Housing with 3 & 4 Bedrooms

Turnover for the South East's social-rented stock is low for some properties, especially for 4 bedroom properties, and there is demand for social and shared

ownership provision in the area.

Additional affordable housing should focus on the neighbourhoods where there is high demand, such as Birley.

Owlthorpe could be another neighbourhood requiring additional affordable housing given the very high average number of bids per property in this area in

2016.

Older People's Independent Living Housing

There is a large shortfall in the supply of specialist housing for independent living. This would not be resolved solely by a 150 unit Older People's Independent

Living Scheme for affordable rent planned by the Council in Birley.

Additional provision is required for all tenures, particularly housing for sale and shared ownership.

Some neighbourhoods such as Charnock, Owlthorpe, Richmond and Sothall currently have no provision and opportunities should therefore be sought to

identify suitable land in neighbourhoods such as these which lack provision but which still have sizeable older populations.

The provision should include sheltered and extra care housing.

More housing designed to accessible and wheelchair accessible and adaptable standards is required in all parts of the city to meet current need and the

requirements of a growing older population.
