Affordable Housing Disputes Are ‘Costing London Homes’

A new report on home building in London says the number of housing starts has “gone backwards” under Sadiq Khan – citing evidence that an increasing proportion of those homes that are being built end up in the hands of foreign buyers.  The report also features new research setting out the historic under-supply of homes in the UK across regions, and makes the economic and social case for home ownership. With the average first time buyer having to save for 10 years to put together a deposit and home ownership rates falling among the young, the report – Homes for Everyone –  sets out detailed proposals for how to push housebuilding up towards the Government’s target of 300,000 a year. Download the report from the Centre for Policy Studies website.
