The affordability model featured in our work on Strategic Housing Market Assessments is derived from the Bramley Model. You can find a full description of how the Bramley Model has been adapted and used in either of the SHMA reports (see the most recent description in the Leicester & Leicestershire SHMA Full Report (Chapter 4, pp.77-132: WARNING - THIS FILE IS 9MB: DOWNLOAD MAY BE SLOW) Submarket Level Housing Need Models The identification and use of submarkets among many of the authorities we have worked with has allowed a more interactive and realistic understanding of local housing markets. Submarkets are housing markets as they are perceived in the community, and are based on the movements of local households and local knowledge, rather than political or administrative boundaries. As the use of housing submarkets as strategic and analytical tools has increased, we have used GIS and other data techniques to adapt existing data to submarket boundaries. It can be an elaborate and complicated process, but the result is a model that gives a more realistic reflection of local needs. See what our submarket housing models look like. Housing required by type and size based on household projections This uses the concepts of lifestyle and lifestage (see Bob Line's article Looking at potential future demand using household projections) to estimate the optimum future shape of the housing market according to any given demographic profile. It aims to avoid sweeping generalisations so that we can build the right things, in the right places, at the right time. These mini profiles use Census data, house price data, and ASHE earnings data (or other incomes data if required) to give a general profile of a given area (for example a rural village or the radius of a proposed new development). Other data sources can be incorporated as required, such as supply figures, survey data, social housing lets etc. Finished profiles can also be produced in PDF format. |
