<p>This will probably be more an issue for urban authorities but I just
wanted to ask if anyone has established any good ideas, working
practices etc for delivering mix of affordable and market resi units
in apartment blocks. </p>
<p>The actual mix issue is not something I deal with directly but
colleagues are telling me it's very difficult to get an AH/market mix
in a block for a number of reasons. In particular the maintenance and
service agreements seem to be one area. Registered providers don't
seem keen on taking these units.</p>
<p>We have significant AH needs and need to think outside the box to get
mixed developments/communities rather than take commuted sums.</p>
<p>We also have an issue where we often have marginal viability on
schemes and so the number of AH units is usually driven down, making
it more difficult to achieve a mix. </p>
<p>We have had some apartment schemes (in the CBD) where shared
ownership has been marketed with little.no interest.</p>
<p>So I'm wondering if other urban LPAs have similar issues and what are
people doing to try and get the mix.</p>
<p>Will post this on the General Discussions forum area too.</p>
<p>Any ideas/thoughts most gratefully received.</p>
