Appreciating value and equity build-up are the main benefits of property ownership in the UK according to a recent survey from BLP Insurance<\/a><\/h2>\n

Property homeowners considered the value and equity appreciation as the main benefits with almost half of respondents (46%), and was particularly prevalent among over 55s (56%) compared with 18-34 year-olds and 35-54 year-olds (35% and 45% respectively).<\/p>\n

Other popular benefits included inheritance and legacy for children (42%), not having to share living spaces with strangers or housemates (41%) and property ownership being a reflection of ambition and success (30%).<\/p>\n

The survey, conducted online with Opinium<\/a>, also revealed that nearly a fifth of respondents (18%) considered potential rental income to be the main benefit, with a further 17% citing property ownership as a risk-averse investment.<\/p>\n

With consideration to the rental market, almost 18% of those people who took part in a separate BLP tenants survey<\/a> have faced mould-related issues, closely followed by plumbing and heating problems (17%), cheap fittings and furnishings (16%) and noisy or untidy housemates (11%).<\/p>\n

Kim Vernau, chief executive at BLP Insurance, said: \u201cWith prospective first-time buyers struggling to get their foot on the housing ladder and no quick fix in sight, it\u2019s more important than ever that the standards of rental accommodation are addressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an otherwise uncertain housing market, the UK Build to Rent<\/a> (BTR) sector is going from strength to strength, which is encouraging because it has a vital role to play in resolving the issues faced by renters. Over a third of Brits (36%) find deposit size to be the main barrier to ownership in the next decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cBTR offers affordable access to quality housing, with greater accountability to tenants on the part of the housing provider compared with traditional landlords. It\u2019s fast becoming the torchbearer within the rental market, helping people avoid the issues presented by rogue landlords and sub-standard living conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n
