Affordable rent studies 

Our affordable rent studies look at the affordability of affordable rent tenure across the nine different postcode areas of Southwark. It models a range of scenarios from 40% to 80% market rents for one, two, three and four bedroom dwellings. It shows that it will be very difficult for people in housing need to afford the affordable rent model, particularly family homes.

The council clarified its approach to affordable rent housing units in a report published and agreed at planning committee in 2011.
