Reviving Right to Buy for social housing leaves private tenants out in the cold

It’s not bad policy, but it isn’t obvious why one group is deserving of so much more support than the other.

By Henry Hill | 4 May 2022

Ryan Bourne: The Government is wrong to end no fault eviction. The change will mean fewer landlords and renter homes.

It’s the worst form of gesture politics in practice – that substitutes for the urgent need for more housing.

By Ryan Bourne | 9 February 2022

Theresa May: The pandemic has shown how urgently we need to fix the housing crisis

Ensuring that everyone has a decent, affordable and secure home is one of the fundamental public policy challenges of our time.

By Theresa May MP | 1 December 2021

Luke Stanley: Ending rough sleeping will require building a better understanding of its causes, not just more homes

Ultimately, we have to prevent vulnerable people from ever reaching the streets. We should seize this opportunity to work out how.

By Luke Stanley | 29 May 2021

Adrian Lee: Rent to Buy could allow the Government to revive the dream of a property-owning democracy

The key is not just to get homes built, but to provide realistic pathways to ownership for middle- and working-class families.

By Adrian Lee | 28 May 2021

Nick Bourne and Ros Altmann: Ministers must take decisive action to support the rented housing sector

We are calling for the development of a hardship loan scheme for tenants, similar to those in Wales and Scotland.

By Nick Bourne and Ros Altmann | 1 May 2021

Mark Bridgeman: If Ministers really want to build back greener, they need a scheme to help homes that works

The Green Home Grant Scheme wasn’t ambitious enough – and their willingness to give up on it speaks volumes.

By Mark Bridgeman | 18 April 2021

I love my new flat. But I’m also sick of moving. We renters need a Greta Thunberg of the housing crisis.

MPs seem to think ‘it doesn’t affect me, so I’ll think about it later’ when they hear complaints from Generation Rent.

By Charlotte Gill | 16 April 2021

Chris Town: It’s wrong for Ministers to shift the responsbility for renters in need onto landlords

The best protection for the latter would be Government-guaranteed hardship loans.

By Chris Town | 7 September 2020 | 57 comments

Richard Holden: My young constituents want to pay less tax and afford a home. We must lift the University debts that hold them back.

A major part of the problem is high tax rates driven by borrowing for higher education courses that they’d be better off not taking.

By Richard Holden MP | 17 August 2020 | 87 comments

Ros Altmann: What Ministers should do to ease the plight of small landlords

Four proposals to help engender a sustainable balance between the rights of landlords and renters.

By Baroness Altmann | 7 July 2020 | 22 comments

Phillipa Stroud: Coronavirus has hit those in poverty hardest. The Government must support employment, fast.

The next step is for a commission to be established that can develop solutions to the current inequalities we have seen.

By Philippa Stroud | 2 July 2020 | 18 comments

Alex Morton: We need a Help to Build plan to save building new homes from collapse

By using the new grant as an incentiv those who are looking to buy would be more likely to buy a new build, enabling supply to continue.

By Alex Morton | 10 June 2020 | 25 comments

James Frayne: More welfare spending. A business tax avoidance clampdown. The new economic policy that voters will want.

One area that has had relatively little attention, but could get much more, is the behaviour of commercial landlords across the country.

By James Frayne | 12 May 2020 | 68 comments

Graham Gudgin: Speed, scale, simplicity. Three principles for further action by Ministers to protect jobs and help people.

The job now needs to be completed by shoring up workers’ incomes and firms’ revenues to as close to 100 per cent as is practical.

By Dr Graham Gudgin | 6 April 2020 | 7 comments
