Household total wealth
In July 2012 to June 2014 aggregate total household wealth (including private pension wealth) of all
private households in Great Britain was £11.1 trillion.
The distribution of wealth is highly skewed towards the top - the wealth held by the richest 10% of
households combined was just under £5 trillion and represented a 45% share of aggregate total
wealth. Conversely the combined wealth of the bottom half of households in the distribution was
less than £1.0 trillion; a value which accounted for just 9% of aggregate total wealth (Figure 1). The
wealth of the least wealthy 10% of households accounted for less than half of 1% of aggregate total
wealth.

WHERE IS ALL THIS GOING?
WHY ARE ALL THESE UTTERLY

Nothing’s changed
Like some TV shows, housing pretends to
change but is the same as it always has
been
But the operating environment has been
transformed
Existing business models are time expired
Running but standing still
Whilst business plans combust
The real world overtakes us
And the economy falls off a cliff for
many
So…if we were starting now what would a modern, fit for purpose housing provider look like?
Functional core business systems?
Homes built by robots?
Properly connected homes?
Good quality data on residents
Systems that talk to one another?
Learning lessons from other sectors’ transformations?
So when is this all this new stuff going to happen?
Especially the robots?
Robots building homes?
Viable connected devices are entering the housing market
Intelligent boilers are now entering the marketplace
And AI is poised to displace humans from the customer care
While we’re at it, why are housing management systems so one dimensional?
And we may soon replace…
report

repair
…with this…

choose rate enhance?
manage
prequalify

quality speed price
Of course it would all happen faster if we sorted out housing data….
