Exploring Middle-Income Housing in Hackney

Closes 10 Apr 2025

Opened 14 Mar 2025

Overview

We recognise the important role that council shared ownership and Hackney Living Rent homes play for those who don’t qualify for Social Rent, but may not be able to afford a home for outright sale. That’s why we have set up an entirely independent Intermediate Housing Panel  to explore and advise on existing models and develop new ways to build affordable and accessible homes in Hackney. 

What is Intermediate Housing?

Intermediate Housing includes but is not limited to: 

  • Shared ownership
  • (Right to) part buy
  • Discounted and 'affordable market rent' options, for example 50%, 65% and 80% market rent homes
  • Build to rent
  • Hackney Living Rent
  • Shared equity
  • London Living Rent
  • Rent to buy
  • Key workers and frontline workers
  • Community Land Trusts
  • Self build
  • New intermediate products, new tenures and new ideas

This survey is part of our engagement with those interested in intermediate housing in the borough. Your feedback will help us to better understand demand and your real-life experience within private sector housing. Alongside other information, this will feed into our Housing Strategy and help us better understand the demand in the borough. 

Taking part in this survey is not related to, and will not affect, any current or future applications for intermediate housing. 

If you would like to receive this survey in a different format or language please email consultation@hackney.gov.uk
