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.
