“…Kofner (2014) characterises Germany's housing system as 'fundamentally resilient', the result of its relatively low rate of owner occupation and conservative lending practices. However, it also underlies a very uneven distribution of wealth (Kofner 2014). The system is not unchanging: since 2010 house prices have been rising, as have rents, and social housing expenditure has recently increased with some municipalities once more moving to build up their housing stocks (Lawson, Legacy et al 2016).…”

“…Komparative studier indikerer at leiemarkedet er et reelt alternativ for større deler av befolkningen i land hvor skattesystemet gir faerre fordeler til boligeierne. Dette gjelder for eksempel Sveits og Tyskland, land hvor profesjonelle investorer er godt representert på leiemarkedet (Scanlon og Whitehead 2011;Kofner 2013;de Boer og Bitetti 2014). I Norge er imidlertid mange profesjonelle utbyggere og boligforvaltere bevisst på den skatteskapte «skeivseleksjonen» på leiemarkedet.…”

SAMMENDRAGNorsk boligpolitikk er preget av en tydelig prioritering av eierboligen, og hovedmålet er at flest mulig skal ha mulighet til å eie egen bolig. Denne eierlinjen har bidratt til en stemoderlig behandling av leiesektoren. Mange har derfor tatt til ordet for en revitalisering av leiemarkedet ved å legge til rette for et større innslag av profesjonell utleie. I denne artikkelen argumenterer vi for at dette er vanskelig å oppnå innenfor rammene av dagens boligog skattepolitikk. Med utgangspunkt i begrepet stiavhengighet begrunner vi dette med at historisk betingede rammebetingelser i boligpolitikken bidrar til å strukturere oppfatningene av hva som er mulig og ønskelig med hensyn til politisk endring i boligsektoren.Stikkord stiavhengighet, boligpolitikk, leiemarked, privat utleie, profesjonell utleie

“…Germany's private rental sector comprises around 47% of all dwellings (Kofner, 2014) and thus represents a major challenge for a country which shares the UK vision of achieving the majority of carbon savings in the built environment through the retrofit of existing buildings (Hamilton, 2010; Rosenow et al, 2013. The 'CO 2 Building Rehabilitation Programme' (CBRP), Germany's largest sustainable retrofit programme, began in 2001 and has been hailed by many as an exemplary policy and a major success in terms of engagement and CO 2 savings achieved (Lowe, 2009; Murphy et al, 2012; Rosenow, 2013.…”

Attitudes and behaviours of private sector landlords towards the energy efficiency of tenanted homes

Energy Policy

The UK's housing stock generates approximately 27 per cent of the country's total annual carbon emissions. In light of the legally binding targets to reduce carbon emissions, new housing is subject to a tightening of regulations governing energy demand and efficiency resulting in a gradual improvement in carbon emissions. The question is how to achieve the deep carbon emission reductions from existing domestic properties, of which 75 per cent will still be in use in 2050. Government has sought to provide incentives to homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their households, and mandate improvements in socially rented housing using a range of fiscal measures, most recently the 'Green Deal'. There has however been little consideration of the 18 per cent of UK households who privately rent their home, a tenure that is growing fast. The aim of this research is to investigate the factors that influence private sector landlords when considering energy efficiency improvements to their tenanted homes. The results indicate that Government policy has consistently failed to engage private sector landlords in the issue of energy efficiency and thus measures must be taken to understand the motivations of landlords in order to design effective incentives and interventions.
