Important results from the project
We have investigated how shared ownership housing affects the economy during ROT renovations. The calculation for the Valhall area shows that it can free up approximately SEK 138 million and reduce investment costs. The preliminary study also shows that funding, relocation chains and renovation planning is crucial for renovations to better cover their costs. The biggest insight is that investments made now risk not being paid off before the next upgrade of the million program.
Expected long term effects
In the longer term, the results can contribute to new ways of financing and planning the refurbishment of the elderly public housing. By combining shared ownership or gradual ownership with functional funding, the capital requirement for the property owner can be reduced. The project also shows the value of managing renovation, relocation chains, management and attractiveness as parts of the same system
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out as a feasibility study where Östersundshem and Andelsägarbolaget analyzed a concrete renovation case in the Valhall area. The project combined property and project economic calculations with analysis of housing costs, financing alternatives, relocation chains and renovation strategy. The results were compiled and discussed within the project and the transition lab.
