Originally published in 1990, and re-issued in 2020 with an updated
Preface, this book shows how the UK has become a nation of home
owners, and the effect it has had on people's lives, the impact
which it has had on British society and the implications for those
who have hitherto been excluded. The book briefly charts the
history of the growth of owner-occupation in Britain and considers
the evidence on the popularity of owning as opposed to renting. The
question of whether and how owner occupiers accumulate wealth from
their housing is discussed and the evidence on the political
implications of the growth of owner-occupation examined. The
influence of buying a house on the way that home is experienced is
analysed and the sociological implications in regard to the
analysis of social inequalities in Britain discussed. The research
for the book was based on in-depth interviews with home-owners and
tenants in Burnley, Derby and Slough.
