Under the Approved Housing Body (AHB) Mortgage to Rent Scheme, a total of 3,025 cases had been considered to the end of August 2015. Of these, 1,727 did not progress for various reasons, including income limits, market value and homeowners withdrawing. In addition, 404 cases were deemed ineligible on grounds of accommodation not being suitable, while agreement on the sale could not be reached in a further 46 cases. In 110 cases the lender was waiting the borrower’s consent. At the end of August, 116 cases were complete, of which 83 have become fully operational. A further 622 cases are actively being progressed.
