Key highlights from this report
Ninesh Muthiah, The Founder and CEO of Home Connections added:
An integral part of our mission at Home Connections is to help people secure the home of their choice. This report will allow us to do that for even more people across the country, as it helps us to understand what people want from their homes in the social rented sector and what guides their choices. We hope it is also used to guide the choices made by social landlords and developers when they plan what types of new social rent properties to build to truly match the demand.
