Average price of a house 🏡 just checked £300k 😮 I know it’s cheaper up north but our the jobs up their and infrastructure etc , no wonder young people have given up working, governments have given the social housing to immigrants crushing the hopes of the indigenous people 🙄
@Benzknees from Gov website I gave conservative figure (actually 676k) as that was upto previous year end based on council tax. Not and expert so can't give you a breakdown.
@@digitd4663 - Ah yes, I've found that now, and as you say it's 676,304 vacant, of which 248,149 are long term vacant (over 6 months). It seems the coalition govt of 2010-15 introduced an empty homes programme to address the problem. Which brought 9000 homes back into use, at a cost of £216m (£24k each). But it was closed in 2015. My area, in the North-West, seems to have the highest number, which doesn't surprise me as there's lots of old, substandard housing stock, the rental or sale value of which is low, so prob not worth upgrading to modern standards.
@Benzknees being down South think it was the other way round we had a prob with developers/investors buying property and leaving then until the price went up then selling for profit....there's still money being made down here. Every property bought has total refurbishment, extensions, newly built outbuildings(gyms??), some turned into HMOs, God knows where the money comes from.
Well they need to build as Home Office will be fast tracking the 90,000 that have come here illegally and the Refugee Council reckon that at least 70% will be given asylum - oh and that's not going to get them coming by the 1000's is it?? Then of course there is the legal immigration, which Labour won't drop and the chain migration for families.
Who they building houses for!? There's millions upon millions of empty properties scattered up down Britain! But guess be back handers for the building contractors 😮
If the cost of the build is more expensive than the final house price they won't build. If they build and can't sell them because interest rates are hight they won't build.
Near me theyve sold up and built houses and industrial parks on flood plane land to make money, I ask where is the many millions of gallons of flood water going to go? The local rivers burst there banks already, they dont need millions of gallons more adding to the brew.
70% of business in the UK is owned by Foreign interests. This means the only thing they want to pay for is labour and nothing else. By filling the country with migrants labour costs are kept to the lowest possible fraction and it is as simple as that. British people do not own anything in Britain, we are a colony of the united states. This is why nothing gets spent on our infrastructure.
millions of new homes for non working non taxpaying non english layabouts . just think they get citizenship and then bring their wives and children over. like the one migrant who had four wives and got four new furnished 3 bed houses . all rent and council tax free. at our expense,
Mr Flip Flop is building houses for immigrants because he wants to sign up to the EU exchange system where every year we take a EU quota of illegal immigrants.
I had to build my own with a master builder , a double extension, was hard work, did it in lockdown down, I got covid half way though, best thing I ever did, with my dad , got a good pad , paid for
I live in Northumberland and where ever you look there are new houses being built. It's nonsense to say not enough houses are being built, the problem is house prices are out of control and little to no social housing is being built. We have Thatcher to thank for removing rent controls and allowing private builders to name their price.
Thatcher is the only reason why we are still #5 in the world. Labour will now quickly undo that, don't worry. When you rack up 10m+ immigrants in 2 decades, it doesn't matter how many houses you build. You will never catch up. THAT is why house prices are up: demand > supply
Thatcher has long gone. You had over a decade of Labour under Blair/Brown. Did they build enough at the same time as opening the borders???? Plenty of homeless around while they were in power, certainly down south anyway.
Yes Margaret thatcher give people the right to Buy there council houses. So fucking what Tony blair sold the whole of county Durham council houses to his billionaire friend in Spain .

Even if by some miracle Starmer's government was able to actually keep to this promise, it still would make zero difference as long as the uniparty keeps enabling the mass importation of a population the size of Liverpool every year! Lets put this in to perspective shall we? By the UK government's own published statistics, the 2024 estimated population of Liverpool is 922,871. The net immigration stats for the year of 2023 are 722,000! The stats show the natural population increase through births was around 500,000. So, is Starmer going to guarantee the complete construction of at least 1.2 million homes a year? Sorry, but this country has a below replacement birth rate, so the housing market disaster is directly being caused by excessive demands of mass immigration. Why the hell should we be trying to pave over our countryside to turn this country in to some dystopian megacity like in Judge Dredd just so our virtue signalling political elite can build homes to cope with the mass immigration there policies allow and encourage!
There’s no point building houses if you’re going to keep letting tons of people in. There’s new builds all over the place but there’s so many people the price of houses will never go down.
Where is the money coming from for these new houses is what I would like to know. I would imagine the cost is something like £300 billion so other than private buyers who is providing the rest?
No one interested in saving up a deposit these days. Far too many other things to waste money on. Youngsters don't even know what money is and rely on credit cards.
First time buyers are not looking at 400k to 600k. Even people on good salaries with struggle with houses in the 600k mark. Even older people will struggle to buy 600k properties and that is why many live in houses valued much less than that. I’m talking about first time buyers. I just sold a rental property I owned to my tenants from India who came here to work as a nurse and carer. Modest jobs. They purchased my property 3 years after they arrived in the UK to work. They achieved that in three years and all I hear is UK people moan and moan about not being able to afford a house. They moan about rental prices too. So how did a 28 year old nurse from India and her 29 year old husband who cleans up after old people in a home mange to buy a decent house in three years? They came from a small town somewhere in India. it wasn’t a 400k plus house, it was under 200k. There are many properties at that price available outside London. London is not the only area in the UK but it is often mentioned when debating about affordability in the housing market. So it is possible and this happened this year, 2024.
Don't Build Houses 🏠 Only for Huge Profits. When are you going to build Houses strictly because it is a Human Necessity, not a Very Very Profitable Business..Social Houses....We will no longer have very poor and Homeless Children!!
You lot complain about “too many people” but if you double the size of every city you’d still only cover 12% of the land. Even if you built on 1% of Greenbelt land you’d already provide 700k homes. Let’s build more so that the scarcity of modern houses are not treated as an expensive investment but rather a right to live in for anyone legal immigrant or not. More houses mean cheaper prices.
Please remember past few years there have been half a million british pple leaving the country!! No one thinks of that figure/ stat. So in reality only 100k have arrived
Scottish govmt has never stopped building affordable houses. It seem however cos of littke engkish brexit and bad budget decisions that the houses r no longer affordable ços of inflation and mortgage rates rising.

All migrants whether legal or illegal will be entitled to some form of housing. 4 star hotels , private rentals, demand will outpace supply.
