Viewpoint: living over the shop

Article Abstract:

Living Over the Shop (LOTS) is promoting schemes to renovate empty property above shops to help alleviate the housing shortage problem. Ownership of part-commercial property by registered housing associations and the use of Housing Corporation grants to fund renovation work on the residential parts of such property is permitted by the 1988 Housing Act. LOTS encourages property owners to grant fixed-term leases to housing associations but has become the victim of its own success with overwhelming demand for its services.

The purchase-lease decision: from the viewpoint of the government

Article Abstract:

An examination is made on how provincial, municipal, and federal governments make buy or lease decisions. With a ten percent inflation rate and a minimum 13.5 percent rate of return set by the lessor, the provincial and municipal governments should lease when their loan rates surpass roughly 22.5 percent. A building acquisition should be made when the inflation rate assumes loan rates of under 22.5 percent.
