Delegates at this conference discussed the future for the housing market and private rented sector in England.
It brought together policymakers with local authorities, landlords, letting agents, tenant organisations, house builders and other key stakeholders.
Following the introduction of Help to Buy and the Government's subsequent extension of the equity loan component of the scheme by an additional four years to 2020, attendees considered early indications for the impact these have had on the market and next steps for meeting growing demand.
Discussion was informed by a National Audit Office report which highlighted the potential cost of the equity loan scheme to taxpayers.
Further sessions focused on opportunities for local authorities and social housing providers in the private rented sector, landlord regulation and the future for Build to Rent.
