Austerity plans will hit families hardest

The Family and Parenting Institute (FPI) today warned that families with children will be worst affected by the Government’s proposed changes to tax and benefits.

A study by the Institute for Fiscal Studies on behalf of the FPI suggests that the average income of families with children will fall by 4.2 per cent by 2015-16, representing a loss of £1,250 a year.

For families with four or more children, the average drop in income will be even higher at 5.2 per cent.

In comparison the study calculates that average household income will fall just 0.9%, or £215 a year.

Dr Katherine Rake, the FPI’s CEO said: This research confirms that families with children are shouldering a disproportionate burden.

Although the government will launch the phased implementation of Universal Credit benefit from 2013, the overall change for families will be negative, according to the report.

Mortgage arrears and repossessions set to rise

Rising unemployment and increased pressure on household budgets will lead to more borrowers falling behind on their mortgages and getting repossessed in 2012, mortgage lenders have forecast.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said 45,000 homes could be repossessed during the year, up 20% from an estimated 37,000 in 2011, as job losses took their toll on family finances. The number of property sales and total mortgage lending are also expected to fall.

An increase in repossessions would reverse much of the fall seen over the past couple of years, but the CML stressed numbers would remain far lower than in the downturn of the 1990s, when unemployment was at a similar level, as low interest rates had weakened the link between job loss and mortgage arrears.

The number of borrowers falling behind on mortgage repayments is also expected to increase following two years in which arrears levels were lower than lenders had expected.
