I am from the Washington new town in the north of England (built up until the early 80s) I don’t get why they haven’t had more projects like this using development corporations to bypass all the red tape. I will tell you why, because it is all hot air.
Successive governments have failed to build any significant numbers of council properties for the last 40 or 50 years. That’s one of the main reasons why there is a shortage and why prices got so high
Interest goes up, inflation goes up, debt increases, increases on capital gains tax goes up, tax on savings, house prices are reduced and devalued. Compulsory purchase at less than current value. 1.5million homes. Sorted.
We need a visual aid of what they want to do, what they are doing, when they plan to do it by, a status bar or percentage to competition. Then we can see what the said they would do, what they have done, what they have failed on. Plus keep an eye on what they are doing. Uk, England and local. We vote these people in but we have no way of knowing what they are doing on the local or national level. I'm sure you could take a few weeks out of your time to instigate each thing but we need to be able to see what they are doing.
The two biggest fibs in the Labour manifesto: we will reform the planning system and we will build 300,000 new homes a year. They are not even new fibs, one or more main parties have promised something similar every election since the 1980s. Every election at least one of the 2 major parties promises to reform the planning process to make it easier to build and by the end of the parliament they have made it worse. The simple fact is that if you put in a planning application for a 200 home estate it will take a minimum of 2-3 years and £500k+ to get to planning permission and that assumes you do not have to appeal a decision and locals do not seek judicial review. As for the idea that we will build 300,000 homes a year - it will never happen for the simple reason the UK does not have enough skilled trades people to achieve that and those people are retiring faster than replacements getting the skills. There is no chance of rent controls happening under this Labour govt. They have accepted the argument that rent controls are a failure - just see what has happened in Scotland. Being a cynic my guess is that by the next general election comes around very little will have changed
You may think you sound cynical but you are 100% correct. The other reason why 1.50 million homes won't get built is because the construction industry doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to meet that target. The new hospital programme will also fail for the same reasons as identified by the National Audit Office. They won't be long in coming to the same conclusion for the houses.
Just to be fair, the last government has already given over thousands of properties and many four-star hotels to illegal migrants. Labour will now most likely act legalise those migrants with an amnesty. What it saying to the rest of the world is that if you just come here illegally and throw your passport in the sea, Britain will give you accommodation, money and a nice new UK passport! Can you blame them for coming? What would we all doing their situation?
@@charleskellymoneytipspodca9121 A free passport?! Meanwhile me, who used to be a dual citizen had to relinquish my British citizenship to become a full citizen of Botswana now has to pay tens of thousands of pula just to reinstate that British passport. Labour? Tory? I just see a purple blob of mould.
@@seanturner1197 you relinquished a British passport and citizenship to become a citizen of Botswana? Really? Now you’re complaining that you have to pay to get your British passport back? Everyone should pay fees, including those who come here illegally
Be careful what you wish for. If the smaller private sector landlords leave the market that just means they will be replaced by faceless corporate landlords. The history of UK housing since 1915 shows that every time govt. decides via a combination of tax, rent controls and regulations to punish private sector landlords all that happens is within a couple of years the govt. has to start mass public sector house building to create council estates

Thank you, Charles, an excellent presentation again, only thing missing was wishing the new labour government best of luck!
We all need it!!!
@@dugandav1 ha ha. God help us all!
Me personally never ne😮eded labour or the conservatives I make my own luck
Good for you! My sentiments exactly. Make your own luck and Row your own boat!
We are seeing more detail of Labour's housing plans coming out over the last few days. Not too much detail though?
Interest goes up, inflation goes up, debt increases, increases on capital gains tax goes up, tax on savings, house prices are reduced and devalued. Compulsory purchase at less than current value. 1.5million homes. Sorted.
Thanks
Wonder what they will do with the EPC rating. This is my biggest worry

It won’t
By giving it to migrants.

Fair point.
RIP LANDLORDS
@@marcwaters2600 Let’s hope you’re wrong. They still need small landlords. They haven’t built council houses since the 1970s in any great number.

Heavenly Father is punishing England for the loot of India 🇮🇳. Amen.
There are millions of Indian people and people of Indian descent living in the UK, including my family. Are you also happy that they will be punished?
Heavenly Father is actually punishing India by putting Modi in charge, you guys don't need enemies.
more people will fall out of middle class losing there homes
Yes. They will be squeezed. The wealthy can afford to pay for advice or move abroad.
