Rents charged to individal tenents depend on the grade of the property so vary quite a lot. The MOD pay a ground rent to Annington homes regardless of if the home is occupied or not. As an aside, the MOD are looking at reviewing the way in which we grade these properties. There is a view that SFA is 'too cheap' and should be made more expensive to reflect market forces. One hazards a guess that this is to gradually discourage the use of SFA. Obviously the people that really need these houses are our SACs who have a starting salary of £16,000. They are often the ones that are required to deploy the most frequently. Surely it isn't hard to predict the impact of this policy if one looks beyond the simple economics and takes a strategic view?
