Commentary on current housing and planning issues. November 24, 2016. November 24, 2016. Wanting to help boost ownership is in Labour’s DNA,. Says John Healey in his introduction to the Redfern Review. The report finds that the biggest factor in the decline in homeownership has been tougher rules on how much first-time buyers can borrow for a mortgage, followed by above-inflation increases in prices. The primary drivers of house price inflation have been rising incomes, falling interest rates and a l...

For those slightly out of the loop Right to Buy is basically the sector’s kryptonite (the green version, not the red one, no-one is going to go BS-mental on Metropolis just yet).
