Paper Summary:

The paper aims to identify the relationship between changes in interest rates and their impact on the UK housing market. The paper presents the hypothesis that the lower the prevailing interest rate, the more non-homeowners will seek out mortgages for their own homes, but that there would be other mitigating factors involved as well. The paper provides a summary of the findings in the concluding chapter, together with limitations of the research encountered and a discussion of the hypothesis confirmation based on previous research.

From the Paper:

"During the past two decades, the United Kingdom has been transformed from a nation of renters and leasers into a nation of home-owners. While the analysts differ on the opinions concerning the precise reasons for this transformation, the fact remains there was a significant increase in home ownership experienced during the period between the early 1980s and the late 1990s. During this same period, interest rates have varied sharply, but their precise impact on the UK housing market remains understudied and nebulous."
