Parties and Housing Policy

[Dragontale]

So beyond... let's build 40,000 extra homes, what are the parties doing to regulate overheated property prices?

I get the feeling that none of them is interested in this...

Hi, I'm not sure if this will give you any of the answers you're looking for OP, but in this article there is a table which sets out housing policies from each Party.

What does the general election mean for private tenants?

They're all scared to actually do something about it actually.

Building large number of homes will cause a house price correction which will will result in economic difficulty for many. I don't expect any Government to follow through on this.

Not building large numbers also results in economic difficulty for many

So I expect them to carry on just building enough to try and keep things as is.

The problem is the situation has gone beyond the point where anything a Government tries to do to improve the situation will reflect well on the Government. Hence why none are making big promises about it.

I think any Government that gets in will act like the previous one. Try to prop it until they can pass the stinky mess onto the next lot. This means limited house building and a few schemes to help FTB's borrow more money. I very much doubt we'll see the big national house building program that we clearly need.

This. (And a brilliant response, thank you).

This seems to be happening all over the western world as well, well at least in countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia. Not unique to the U.K.
