In this accessible and passionately argued book, Bob Colenutt goes to the roots of the long-term crisis in housing and planning in the UK. Providing a much needed, in depth critique of the nexus of power of landowners, house builders, financial backers and politicians that makes up the property lobby, this radical book reveals how this complex, self-serving and intimidating network perpetuates a cycle of low supply, high prices and poor building which has resulted in one of the biggest social and economic challenges of our time. With radical ideas for solutions, this is essential reading for anyone with an interest in housing, planning and social justice.

This is a plain-English explanation of how we got into the current economic disaster that developed out of the economics and politics of the housing boom and bust. The "creative" financing of home mortgages and the even more "creative" marketing of financial securities based on American mortgages to countries around the world, are part of the story of how a financial house of cards was built up -- and then suddenly collapsed. The politics behind all this is another story full of strange twists. No punches are pulled when discussing politicians of either party, the financial dangers they created, or the distractions they created later to escape their own responsibility for what happened when the financial house of cards in the financial markets collapsed. What to do, now that we are in the midst of an economic disaster, is yet another story -- one whose ending we do not yet know, but one whose outlines and implications are explored to reveal some surprising and sobering lessons.

Britain has become a country divided into two nations, people who are on the property ladder and who are benefiting from property price rises, and those who are not on the ladder and fear never being able to get onto the ladder since property prices are rising faster than salaries. This second group face a lifetime living at the parental home or being at the mercy of rolling 12 month tenancies.Building more houses, despite being the solution most widely touted, is not the answer to the UK's housing crisis. In the face of demand from both domestic and overseas investors who see housing as a safe haven for their money, building more houses will have no downward effect on prices. The author proposes a radical package of policy measures that will eliminate the artificial inflation of house prices which has occurred over the last twenty years. These policy measures, if enacted, will reunite the UK, by enabling young British people once again to realistically aspire to own their own homes.Politicians and commentators in the UK have shown a lack of ideas in relation to solving this crisis. Media understanding and analysis of economic and fiscal matters in the UK is very weak, and highly dependent on the press releases of Government and industry bodies. The UK's powerful housing lobby has stepped into this intellectual vacuum by promoting house-building as the solution. However, this report demonstrates that new houses cannot be the primary solution to this immense problem. It is pure fantasy to think that the global demand for British houses can ever be met. Every town and village in the South of England would be ruined by millions of under-sized and under-quality flats and houses before demand was close to being met from the world's 15 million strong financial elite, and house prices would still keep on rising. The solution to the UK's housing crisis lies not in the creation of new housing stock but in changing the usage patterns of existing stock.This report urges that measures are taken to limit the investment demand for houses. It is investment demand (not the commonly mentioned "shortage of new houses") that has corrupted the housing market in many areas and pushed average house prices out of the reach of average citizens. The solution to the housing crisis is similar to the solution to the banking crisis of 2007/8. Just as consumers had been damaged because banks had failed to separate high-street banking from an increasingly aggressive and dominant investment banking operation that was driven by an excess of elite money, so the UK housing market needs separating from a global investment market. Since housing has become an investment market, it should be regulated closely like other investment markets. The process of market separation is neither complex nor expensive and it will once again allow British citizens to own a share of their own nation. This report focuses on the international aspect of this problem, the issue of foreign buyers, since their role in price inflation is both substantial and relatively simple to restrict.

Scary headlines and scarier statistics tell the story of a financial crisis on a scale not seen in decades - certainly not within the lifetime of most Americans. Moreover, this is a worldwide financial crisis. Financial institutions on both sides of the Atlantic have either collapsed or have been saved from collapse by government bailouts, as a result of buying securities based on American housing values that eroded or evaporated.Now completely revised in paperback, The Housing Boom and Bust is designed to unravel the tangled threads of that story. It also attempts to determine whether what is being done to deal with the problem is more likely to make things better or worse.

A global look at the reasons behind the recent economic collapse, and the responses to it The speculative bubble in the housing market began to burst in the United States in 2007, and has been followed by ruptures in virtually every asset market in almost every country in the world. Each country proposed a range of policy initiatives to deal with its crisis. Policies that focused upon stabilizing the housing market formed the cornerstone of many of these proposals. This internationally focused book evaluates the genesis of the housing market bubble, the global viral contagion of the crisis, and the policy initiatives undertaken in some of the major economies of the world to counteract its disastrous affects. Unlike other books on the global crisis, this guide deals with the housing sector in addition to the financial sector of individual economies. Countries in many parts of the world were players in either the financial bubble or the housing bubble, or both, but the degree of impact, outcome, and responses varied widely. This is an appropriate time to pull together the lessons from these various experiences. Reveals the housing crisis in the United States as the core of the meltdown Describes the evolution of housing markets and policies in the run-up to the crisis, their impacts, and the responses in European and Asian countries Compares experiences and linkages across countries and points to policy implications and research lessons drawn from these experiences Filled with the insights of well-known contributors with strong contacts in practice and academia, this timely guide discusses the history and evolution of the recent crisis as local to each contributor's part of the world, and examines its distinctive and common features with that of the U.S., the trajectory of its evolution, and the similarities and differences in policy response.

At the root of the housing crisis is the problematic relationship that individuals and economies share with residential property. Housing’s social purpose, as home, is too often relegated behind its economic function, as asset, able to offer a hedge against weakening pensions or source of investment and equity release for individuals, or guarantee rising public revenues, sustain consumer confidence and provide evidence of ‘growth’ for economies. The refunctioning of housing in the twentieth century is a cause of great social inequality, as housing becomes a place to park and extract wealth and as governments do all they can to keep house prices on an upward track.

Conventional wisdom held that housing prices couldn’t fall. But the spectacular boom and bust of the housing market during the first decade of the twenty-first century and millions of foreclosed homeowners have made it clear that housing is no different from any other asset in its ability to climb and crash. Housing and the Financial Crisis looks at what happened to prices and construction both during and after the housing boom in different parts of the American housing market, accounting for why certain areas experienced less volatility than others. It then examines the causes of the boom and bust, including the availability of credit, the perceived risk reduction due to the securitization of mortgages, and the increase in lending from foreign sources. Finally, it examines a range of policies that might address some of the sources of recent instability.
