Very interesting research as ever, thanks Mick.

You make a curious comment at the end, that cost rental "when it reaches scale, will exercise a price dampening effect on the wider market." Surely this should be "if" it reaches scale? The current target is for 18,000 by 2030, and even that scale of delivery doesn't seem to be on track yet. Is that really enough to dampen prices to any significant degree?

The cost rental we're currently planning is, frankly, a niche tenure and a quite small portion of new housing, not the kind of transformation that seems to be assumed in e.g. the latest Threshold report.
