Will any of the Labour leadership contenders condemn this attack on aspiration?
Our new report finds that the Government could help families, slash Housing Benefit bills and save up to £1 trillion by taking a leaf out of Harold Macmillan’s book.
Drastic changes are needed to a lobby group that has served as an apologist for failure.
The Housing Bill will enable all social tenants to benefit from the Right to Buy, rather than have ownership dictated by whoever happens to manage their property.
It’s time that renting was recognised as a business, and for sensible reforms which could bring many unoccupied properties into the market.
Policies like Right to Buy and Starter Homes are steps in the right direction – but we still need to start building hundreds of thousands of new homes.
The Conservative Manifesto’s commitment to garden cities where local people want them was a welcome demonstration of a willingness to provide housing supply.
“What our manifesto is about is securing peoples’ future, giving them those opportunties at every stage of their life to have that security.”
Let’s turn council estates into “city villages” – with street patterns and traditional housing rather than tower blocks.
The Prime Minister’s starter homes plan risks coming at the expense of, instead of in addition to, the affordable homes we need.
As well as a mechanism for home ownership, the finances must be right, too.
Letting tenants buy from housing associations would increase home ownership, boost social mobility and reduce the monolithic nature of many estates.
The UK has a poor record on home ownership, which has been in decline since 2003. Here is a potential solution.
A proposal that’s fair, socially just – and would lead to more affordable housing for poorer people.
We should make it our over-riding priority to seek “full ownership” of homes within a generation.
