Why would private buillders be wanting to supply a lot more affordable houses. They are very happy as things are, screwing the customers they already have. It's all about supply and demand, more supply means less profit. These targets will NEVER be achieved, not a chance!..
The housing shortage today is down to ridiculous number of immigrants, that is down to Blair for ignoring the impact of his policies, although it made him a multi millionaire. I was envious of my cousins on Council Estates in the 60s with indoor plumbing, modern housing and local facilities. My uncles and aunts took pride in their housing after WW2. But the generation that followed couldn't be bothered. It was all handouts and freebies. They took for granted the privileges that they had received as Council tenants. I saw houses wrecked, facilities abused. and generally, socially, estates became no go areas. A lot of the houses that were built on these estates post war were not actually quality builds, and so the repair bills became huge. Hence councils looking for a way out, Thatcher trying to provide a longer term solution and a different attitude from people. But no. the benefit system continues to promote. the sponger mentality with no sense of personal responsibility or accountability.
And Thatcher also put thousands on the dole, with no hope, no job, and no future. She also sold off hundreds of thousands of council properties but DID NOT re-invest that money back into affordable housing. She also promoted privatisation of our utility's, and look what a cracking idea that has proved to be. The upper middle class had never had it so good, the tories sold everything off cheap and became "shareholders"
@@paulbird3235 The Thatcher hate movement. Pathetic. And your comment is a pack of lies and extreme left disinformation. But, will give you a chance. Come back with intelligent analysis of our country and economy that she took over. Tell me how successful nationalisation had been. tell me how successful the violence of the trade unions in the 70s had been.
How can the country afford free housing and free money to spend? Who is going to pay for it as already due to Labour skilled once and the rich are leaving the country.
New building of affordable property is a factor, doing more with what we already have is a far better solution & has better outcomes for communities too. The focus on new builds is about maintaining the current broken system & not about resolving the causes.
Actually many old houses are vacant or pending for repair. Councils have no money to repair. Some council start the scheme to allow young people to buy in low price but they need to fix them properly.
Labours Plan : step 1 : open the gates of hell , step 2 : print money and increase inflation , step 3 : tax working class people , step 4 : increase council tax above max , step 5 : Green tax everyone , will be a cold winter 🥶🥶,
In social housing, look at who's in Band 1 (or it's an easy guess) who has priority over Band 2 onwards. I've been looking for more suitable housing for over 7 years, but guess who's taking them over everyone else.
This report fails to mention the reason why there was no shortage in the 1990s when house prices were reasonable, no mention of the main driver of demand! Strange that!
Building housing through private sector won’t help this either. The price at this point won’t go down because private developers built more houses at least not to the level where most people who already can’t afford housing can suddenly afford it because average price fell down couple of thousand pounds. Labour’s promise of privately developed 1.5 mil houses not only is dubious but even if it miraculously happened won’t solve the housing crisis by much.
"They say they are going to get building again". What a joke, they neither have the tradesmen or the customers with the money to buy private housing.So are we going to build millions of council properties, and where will the money come from? .......
Facile video. Limited analysis and of course the political correct silence on the only reason why the UK population is increasing is immigration - and I believe immigration is a good thing. Equally the idea that the UK is 4.3 m homes short is based on a report which very carefully cherry picked statistics to prove that. Let me cherry pick different stats: the ratio of people per household in the EU is 2.3 whereas in the UK it is 2.36 - as the UK has 28.4 m households that would imply a shortage of homes of c.800,000. To be clear my statistic is just as biased and wrong as the 4.3m figure - the reality is that the truth is somewhere in the middle, so we are probably short of 2m homes +/- 500,000. There is absolutely no chance of the UK building 300,000+ homes a year, it is a slogan nothing more and when in 5 years time the UK has fallen well short of that target Labour will put the blame on housebuilders
@@user-ug8wx5er1w They want profit on their properties no matter what. The banks add interest, landlords pass that onto the tenants as well as their own mark up. Middle men always profit the most. It's disgusting.
They need to not listen to the landed gentry and allow development on selected green areas ( not flood plains ) , onsite builders develop all land purchased within a year and buy delapitaed ghost town area houses cheap and regenerate ( like a while back on one channel it was in Blackburn or Middlesbrough whole streets were boarded up ) and offer incentives to people to move in . Also allow home owners to build new dewellings in gardens that are big eg long back gardens with access let them build a house on end even incentivise it . 5 year plan given to the Genocide complicit Labour Party out of patriotism!
Absolute rubbish from immigrant loving sky, throw out all the people who have arrived in the last ten years and there's no shortage, this woman should be banned from speaking on the topic.
As with all things, the answers are sometimes both to varying degrees. It's supply and demand. Masses of immigrantion creates stresses on housing, schools, hospitals, and surgeries. The landlords then capitalise on this scarcity by up rents and buying up even more stock.
@@user-ug8wx5er1wYes this report fails to mention the reason why there was no shortage in the 1990s when house prices were reasonable, no mention of the main driver of demand! Strange that!

As soon as i left university i found myself homeless, for 2 years.
Can’t wait to hear the excuse..
Too many people, not enough houses..hmmm wonder why there's too many people?
Same excuse for everything else - Conservatives made a mess and now we need to fix the foundations.
Oh dear, sky deleting comments again!

I’m 37 and still can’t afford to buy a house

And the rest!
I thought they were all living in four star hotels, not council housing. Make your mind up!.
And the millions of legal ones.

More people joining the queue, than houses being built……. Simple..

Post War Labour built a million homes...when taxes for the highest earners was at 90%.
and the poor were taxed at 30%.......
Labour plan .
Step 1 : tax the rich , oh no they left the country ,
back-up plan : tax all working people and print money
So over taxing people stops growth so if we cut taxing people they would be able to create revenue and create less borrowing and less instability
Labour is crap but what did torries do?
@hugoboss917 I don't think the torries know either what they did
Millions of people move to a country.
They all need somewhere to live.
Creating a housing shortage.
It really is that simple! 😉
@@AlOh-2 yes, very simple, but somehow not mentioned once in this sky report, strange that!
Deregulate and allow people to build their own properties and shanty towns!
agreed
Yes , a soweto in every city…

Start building 1 and 2 bed homes . Developers are only building for the wealthy.
Developers build for the people they can sell to, "THE WEALTHY". There is no money in affordable housing.

I'm guessing people will say boat people and not greedy landlords not wanting to take a loss on their investments.
The public must be protected from labour MPs out on the streets and in their homes!
