The developers also prefer to keep their schemes for owner-occupiers or within their ownership as they focus on creating long-term communities.

There were 73,706 owner-occupier loans in arrears at the end of June, a drop of 3.6 percent compared to March, the bank said.

"As we prepare to launch the next precinct in the coming weeks it is encouraging to see the significant interest shown by owner-occupiers, underlining the appeal of Yas Island living," he continued.

The latest figures show that of the 63% or 14.3 million households who are owner-occupiers, 7.4 million own their home outright and 6.9 million own their home with a mortgage.

CML director general Paul Smee said: "The relatively low rate of repossession among owner-occupiers - around one in 600 mortgages last year - should help to reassure borrowers that, if they do face payment difficulties, lenders will work with them to try to resolve their problems.

The alternative is for a 'homeowner payment' for owner-occupiers of properties situated between 120 to 330 metres from the centre of the railway to agree lump sum payments between PS7,500 and PS22,500.

There will also be a new "Need to Sell" scheme in which the Government buys properties at full unblighted market value from owner-occupiers who have a compelling need to sell - such as job relocation or ill health - no matter how far away they are from the HS2 line, if the planned new line is making it impossible for them to sell.

"Those who choose to rent permanently will have to pay their landlord out of their pension income, while owner-occupiers will enjoy minimal housing costs."

The group says investment landlords would be far more affected by the price slide than owner-occupiers, as they typically had higher loan-to-value ratios on their mortgages.

Homes bought by former owner-occupiers fell by 2.4 per cent in the month of October, making the year-on-year drop 6.6 per cent.

But investors don't make a permanent resident viable community; as elsewhere only a majority of owner-occupiers do.Aa The many columns of "To Let" ads in the papers for JBR is evidence enough of over-supply by a large number of absent owners who have little interest in making JBR their home.

MORE than 25,000 owner-occupiers have threatened to withhold cash from their housing authority.

As part of an affordable warmth scheme, North Tyneside Council is urging the over-60s, who are owner-occupiers or live in privately-rented accommodation, to get in touch so their insulation can be checked and replaced if required.
