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.

The UK's chronic housing shortage is lowering the quality of life for millions, turning the British dream of home ownership into a cruel nightmare – not least for 'generation rent'. Countless vulnerable families are meanwhile being deprived of access to decent social housing, causing homelessness to spiral. In this searing polemic, Liam Halligan offers radical solutions to the most urgent political issue of our times. Fully updated, with a foreword from former Chancellor Sajid Javid and drawing on extensive interviews with Cabinet ministers, civil servants, leading developers and struggling homebuyers across the country, Home Truths is a no-holds-barred critique of the UK's housing crisis.

Originally published in 1986 at a time when Britain was facing a major housing crisis, this book, containing much original research, examines the crisis and analyses the reasons for it, providing foundations for the construction of effective new policies. As relevant now as when it was first published the book discusses under investment in housing stock, in both the public and private sectors, renovation and maintenance and neglect of particular disadvantaged groups such as the elderly, the single homeless and those in low income groups.

Originally published in 1993, this book is a detailed comparative examination of the housing issue by housing experts, looking at the USA, UK, Germany, the Netherlands and France. The volume offers an excellent blend of critical analysis and practical policy recommendations, including a better targeting of tax concessions, a move back to social housing more diverse than in the past and measures for reducing homelessness. Perennial issues which remain as pertinent today as when the book was first published are also discussed: homelessness, housing affordability for people on low incomes, changes in housing markets.

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.

By taking aim at the ‘property machine’ and its opposition to the social and everyday needs of the majority of the population, the authors analyse some of the key social and economic forces and the broad range of policies that have shaped and responded to Britain’s housing crisis. Before concluding with a series of innovative proposals that would allow for the establishment of a fairer and more equal society and a more stable economic future.
