WAYS TO FIX THE HOUSING CRISIS IN THE UK
BUILD MORE HOMES FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING MARKET
ENCOURAGE SCHEMES SUCH AS SHARED OWNERSHIP
SUBSIDISE FIRST TIME BUYERS
INCREASE SUPPLY OF SOCIAL HOUSING
The provision of new housing has outstripped the growth in the number of households in England since house prices reached their low point in 1996,
Simply building more houses alone is not the answer to Britain’s housing crisis
making the case instead for increasing the supply of social housing, subsidies for first-time buyers and measures to encourage private landlords to sell their properties.
UK house prices have grown 160 per cent in real terms since 1996, rents are relatively high and home ownership has fallen over the past 15 years.
Meanwhile, a shrinking social rented sector, cuts to housing benefit and slow wage growth among young people are making rented housing less affordable for many, even though private sector rents are stable.
Housing associations are united by a single purpose – to ensure everyone in the country can live in a quality home that they can afford.
