National Indicators A single set of 198 national indicators was announced as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007. The national indicators are the only measures on which central Government will performance manage outcomes delivered by local government working alone or in partnership. Performance against each of the national indicators will be published annually by the Audit Commission, as part of Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA).

There are mixed outcomes this quarter. Seven Providers have exceeded their designated target by 10% and more than 50% of all services achieved outcomes greater than their targets which has ensured that the NI as a whole has achieved a highly positive outcome for 09/10. However, care must be taken to acknowledge that although the annual target has been exceeded by more than 5%, Doncaster Supporting People are in the process of putting the majority of existing services out to tender and it should be acknowledged that as the contracts are determined there is the potential for services to transfer to other providers which in turn could have a knock-on effect on

Market Information

Apart from selected northern and southern wards, DMBC prices have historically followed regional trends with around a £20k discount. From 2005 the spread has expanded to £30k. Too soon to tell if this is a jump shift or part of a longer term drift. Implications, discourages migration from DMBC (less affordable to move from DMBC). This makes DMBC as a less attractive place for upwardly mobile starters trying to build up equity, however it may make it more attractive for those seeking to realise equity values. In general not good for economic integration and growth for core market to become semi-detached.

House prices in Doncaster vary greatly across the borough, however the simple average house price is currently £132,463 (based on sales and valuations). This is a 2.9% increase on last year’s prices and 0.5% increase on 2008, suggesting that house values are, in general, returning to the point they where before the housing market crash. Property prices in Doncaster are around 20% lower than the regional average which is £166,014 and 44% lower that the national average of £237,042. From the graph below we can see that Doncaster house prices closely follows the Y&H price trends but with a tendency since 2005 for the gap to widen. Prices rise slower and fall faster.

(Hometrack, 2010) The number of bedrooms is also a key determinant of price, current average prices in Doncaster by bedrooms count and property type are as follows:

• 1 bedroom flat - £82,900

• 2 bedroom flat - £92,600

• 2 bedroom house - £96,100



House Price Change

Over the past two years house prices have risen 0.5% in Doncaster; however this number masks the real changes in property values in the borough through the housing market crash and the more recent gradual recovery. This is down to the quantity of flats/terraced being sold or valued now as opposed to two years ago, when many more first time buyers where entering the market. The sample size of traditional first time buyer properties has decreased, as the market has fallen, but the sample size of larger family properties has remained quite consistent as have the prices, this will have caused the overall housie price change figure to have remained at a consistent level as there have been relatively more high value sales and fewer low value sales.

Type % Change

Detached - 3.9% Semi - 6.2% Terrace -10.4% Flats -18.1%

(Hometrack, 2010) The above information highlights the need to further interrogate data to establish the true effects of the market down turn.

Affordability Affordability – the lower income of Doncaster residents means that lower house prices do not necessarily lead to more affordability. Also it may be less difficult to get on housing ladder, but harder to be mobile from Doncaster (equity trap). Discourages ambitious young people to start careers in Doncaster, because it is not easy to move away as career develops.

The house price to income ratio in Doncaster is currently 4.21:1 (based on data from the latest Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, CACI and sales and valuations over the last 12 months). The regional house price to earnings is 5.7:1 This means that house prices in the borough are around 4.21 times the average income. Mortgage companies tend to favour borrowing to be on a 3.5 times income

basis. This means that a large section of the population may not be able to access a mortgage.

Note This chart shows the number of households in different household income bands in the areas (bars) compared to the lower quartile price for different property types in the same area (horizontal lines). The diagonal lines rising from left to right show the value of property that can be afforded at different income multiples by a first time buyer and former owner occupier. The affordability calculations are based on a multiple of the average household income adjusted by the average loan to value for the different types of buyer (see macro-economic trends > Loan to Value for the latest figures). The house price data is based on data from the Hometrack Automated Valuation Model and the incomes data is supplied by CACI. Further details on these sources are available in the Help and Information Section.

Note This table shows the percentage of households priced out of the market in the area. The analysis differentiates between house types and whether or not the purchasers are first time buyers. This is a modelled figure which is derived from the house price and income assumptions in the ‘graph’ section of this analysis. The figures displayed are simply derived from incomes and house prices and do not account for the existing tenures of local residents. The house price data is based on data from the Hometrack Automated Valuation Model and the incomes data is supplied by CACI. Further details on these sources are available in the Help and Information section

(Hometrack, 2010) The above table and graph show the numbers of first time buyers and owner-occupiers priced out of the market. It shows that first time buyers need an income of around £15,000 - £20,000 to cross the threshold to purchase an average terraced property. The vertical bars to left of where the lines cross show the numbers within the income brackets priced out of the market The figure above shows results from DMBC modelling of house prices against income. It shows the percentage of households that are priced out of the market in the area in the post-banking crisis housing market. It is notable that many Doncaster people previously able to buy houses at a higher than average income to house price ratio are no longer able to buy because mortgage lenders are restricting finance and reducing risky lending. It shows that the shift has not just made home ownership inaccessible to first time buyers (FTB). It has trapped a large proportion of owner occupiers, because the combination of low prices and tighter income ratio requirements has left them without the equity or income to upsize1.

1 This is a modelled figure which is derived from the house price and income assumptions in the ‘graph’

section of this analysis. The figures displayed are simply derived from incomes and house prices and do not account for the existing tenures of local residents. The house price data is based on data from the Hometrack Automated Valuation Model and the incomes data is supplied by CACI.

Although the average household income in Doncaster is £31,144 the average salary is £22,776. This means that many household will require a dual income to be able to afford anything above the average terraced property. Furthermore there are over 32,000 single person households in Doncaster and over 8,000 lone parent households. These households are generally located around the central areas and may be unable to afford housing in other areas. Whilst Doncaster does not have such a sever housing affordability problem as some other cities in the region, housing is still unaffordable to many households 34.27% of first time buyers are unable to buy an average semi detached house. Whilst on an income to house price ratio housing may look more affordable than other parts of the country many people may struggle with finding the large deposits that are now required to secure a mortgage.

New Build

In 2010 the average price of a new build flat in Doncaster is £78,800 compared to a regional average of £117,866. This has fallen from £126,259 (Doncaster) in 2007, showing a decline in interest in the new build flat market. Similarly the average price of a new build house in Doncaster has also fallen dramatically since 2007. Whilst the figures show a decline in the new build premium the fall is not as significant as in the new build flat market, where new build flats are now worth less than second hand flats. This is because, as it has been widely reported, the demand for new built flats has been worst hit buy the housing market down turn. Furthermore mortgage companies are more reluctant to lend on new flats due to the unpredictability of the market. Buyers of such properties may find it difficult to secure good mortgage rates and often have to put down even larger deposits, which ultimately effect demand and the sale prices.

New build – Gap between Doncaster and regional market described above discourages new builds relative to other places where prices hold up better. DMBC matching NI targets, but wholly behind on transformational RSS targets – which have now been scrapped.

(Hometrack, 2010)

Housing demand

Market Housing Properties in Doncaster take on average 11.1 weeks to sell, compared to the regional average of 10.5 weeks. This has increased from 9.9 weeks last quarter, and could be due to the influx of new properties on to the market following the scrapping of HIPs. In Doncaster (MD) properties achieve on average 92.1% of their asking price, compared to the regional average of 94.2%. This has increased slightly from last quarter and is reflected in the increase in house values. In 2009 there were 2,046 property sales in Doncaster. This equates to 1.7% of the private housing stock turning over, compared to a regional average of 1.8%. 165 of the 2046 sales were new build. This will be of concern to property developers. Interventions are needed to attract buyers to buy build properties so that building rates and sales can increase, bringing new development and regeneration to Doncaster. Social Housing

In 2009, there were 13,487 people on the Housing Register in Doncaster, compared to 10,763 in 2002. Whilst part of this rise my be due to the effect of the credit crunch, the number of people on the housing waiting list is always subject to fluctuations. This is due to the fact that people need to reregister on the list or they are removed, resulting in peaks and troughs. The general trend however is a steady increase between 2003 and 2009 of around 4000 households.

Trend

The total social housing stock has steadily fallen over the past few years despite Registered Social Landlord stock additions; this is due to Right to Buy sales and demolitions. Between 2003 and 2009 the total social housing stock has fallen by 3763. in essence the impact of right to buy has been to drive up Housing Register trend.

Social housing

Impact on the economy is a greater proportion of owner occupiers and a reduction in the number of social sector housing. RTB sales can also distort the housing market through the influx of lower property values. The general trend of an increase of households on the waiting lists between 2003 and 2009 of around 4000, coupled with the fact that there are 3763 less social houses in the borough than in 2003 is a stark reality. It means more people are in need of the falling numbers of social housing stock. These figures will be updated in Q2 report following the submission of HSSA data.

Social housing – there is a growing demand relative to supply. Upward trend in register since 2003 of 30-45% (ignoring bureaucratic peaks and troughs.). Right to buy has lowered LA stock but there has not been matching rise in RSL stock.

Housing Supply

The number of dwellings built in Doncaster between 2006 and 2009 is far fewer homes than RSS targets and is expected to continue for the next couple of years.

However this is also the case for many other areas in the region as property values and sales have fallen.

Whilst house building in doncaster did not reach targets set out in RSS it did hit the NI 154 target of additional homes as this was lowered from the RSS target of 1230 in light of the credit crunch and the downturn in the housing market. However in the long run doncaster is still required to reach RSS targets, which will mean over hitting annualised targets to make up the deficit from previous years. The RSS housing targets implicitly lead one to view Doncaster’s current annual new build of just under 500 in 2009 (down from an average of about 750 pa for the previous two years) as market under-performance. However the RSS figure was highly aspirational. Current performance may be no more than the natural rate for the market. These figures will be updated in Q2 report following the submission of HSSA data.

Acxiom Data This quarter the evidence base report will report on findings from the Acxiom Lifestyle Database. Through a licensing agreement with Yorkshire Forward Strategic Housing have been given access to the Acxiom package. The key benefits of accessing the data are summarised as follows

• Consistent questions combined with full GB coverage • Data available at any local level from SOA upwards • Complementary to existing national resources e.g. ONS population estimates

and Labour Force Survey • Regular updates and recency of data • Time series data from 2003 onwards for trend analysis

Acxiom has been working under contract now for Yorkshire Forward’s Chief Economist Unit for 6 years and Yorkshire Forward sponsors a number of questions on the survey each year. As part of the arrangement with Acxiom we provide the national lifestyle survey data to additional public sector partners across the region. Acxiom is the largest data provider in the UK, with more than 35 years experience helping a wide range of organisations use information to improve marketing and business results. The high volumes of recent actual data collected on an annual basis makes Acxiom data a trusted source in the Public Sector. The data is valid for analysis at low levels of geography, comparable in time-series analysis and available for direct marketing communications. Data collection - The Research Opinion Poll is Acxiom’s household survey that is distributed twice a year in January and September. Sent out nationally, over 1 million responses are received back every year. Data is collected both by post and online across different age groups, which ensures a representative demographic profile of responders. All survey responses are weighted to reflect the population profile, and mapped back to the annual population estimates. The results are available within the same year. The high level of actual responses to the survey, and the quick turnaround of the raw data into results, means that the Research Opinion Poll is almost a mini-Census each year Available data - There are over 600 lifestyle and demographic variables collected each year on the GB population.

• Demographic data such as tenure, length of residency, age, income, qualifications, skills, interest in undertaking further education/qualification and levels of business ownership

• Lifestyle information such as hobbies, shopping, internet, environment and recycling

• Attitudinal data including perception of place, satisfaction with local services and influence over decisions affecting the local area

PersonicX Geo Personicx Geo is a fundamentally different and enhanced segmentation tool, clustering groups based on their household behaviour not simply their demographics. It moves segmentation forward from those products that are more reliant on the Census. PersonicX Geo gives real differentiation to geographic planning and analysis by defining every UK postcode into one of 60 clusters. Its ability to provide an accurate demographic, lifestyle and behavioural profile at a micro-level is driven by the wealth and depth of individual data behind Acxiom’s Research Opinion Poll. This can help to:

• Estimate and project demand for products and council services • Choose relevant media and communication options • Enhance your own databases by appending relevant behavioural data • Increase breadth and depth of data on your service users • Challenge perceptions held on particular issues • Custom build your own segmentations using PersonicX as a building block • Ensure your own Market Research is representative of the audience you seek • Acquire new users and customers for products and services • Project national research surveys onto your own local area

Available spatial levels - Most variables are available for use at Super Output Area and upwards. You can also access the data for any geographical area you are interested in e.g. England, North East, London, another district (within or outside of Yorkshire and Humber), a comparable city region, e.g. Sheffield, or a comparison site somewhere else in Great Britain. In addition, you can define bespoke geographical areas e.g. most deprived areas, rural areas, town boundaries. How the data can be used

• Monitoring year on year change • Supporting investment bids/funding applications • Impact assessment • Benchmarking • Client profiles • Area profiles • Assessing service supply and demand • Programme evaluation • Forecasting • Model building • Spend projection • Budgetary planning • Internal communication • Developing communications strategies • Ensuring equal service provision across the region • Examining health issues
