WQ.76/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 20th FEBRUARY 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 27th FEBRUARY 2023
Question
“Will the Minister –
- provide a full and up-to-date breakdown by Band and bedroom need of the applications currently on the Affordable Housing Gateway for social rental housing;
- advise what the average waiting time is for each type of application; and
- provide a similar breakdown for the Assisted Purchase Pathway?”
Answer
- This information is published monthly on gov.je: Affordable Housing Gateway (gov.je)
- Waiting times depend on the type of properties and whether or not tenants express interest in them. When waiting times were produced years ago, they could not accurately reflect the length of time someone would be waiting. Therefore, waiting lists are no longer produced.
- The bedroom need of applicants for the Assisted Purchase Pathway is:
Number of Bedroom Need Number of Applicants
1 bedroom 926
2 bedrooms 535
3 bedrooms 465
4 bedrooms 110
5 bedrooms 34
Total 2,070
The average waiting time (in months) to purchase a property through the Andium Homebuy scheme for successful buyers, including by property size purchased (e.g. date application registered to property purchase date):
No. of Bedrooms Average Number of Months 1 Flat 21
2 47
Flat 52
House 59
Maisonette 21
3 House 53
4 House 42
