General Election Housing Pledges Explored
Manage episode 421659824 series 2478169
Rob looks at the upcoming general election in the UK and its potential impact on the property market, focussing on the issue of rising house prices outpacing wage increases, making it difficult for many to afford homes.
He delves into the promises made by political parties regarding housing, such as building more homes and overhauling the planning system. However, the lack of concrete plans and the turnover of housing ministers in recent years raise concerns about the effectiveness of these promises...
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Housing market facing challenges with high demand and limited supply leading to increased prices.
- Lifetime ISA limit of £450,000 since 2017 may need to be increased to align with average house prices.
- Both major parties, Labour and Tories, have pledged to build 300,000 new homes a year but have not outlined specific plans to fix the housing market.
- Expectations of a rate cut in August for cheaper mortgage rates may not materialise as interest rates are predicted to rise due to inflation.
BEST MOMENTS
"It's important to look at what is likely to be said in the manifestos, but also how that could then potentially impact housing in general."
"One thing that various people have brought in over the years is the Lifetime ISA. And that has helped people to contribute to purchasing a home."
"Overhauling the planning system, again, that's been in the pipeline, I think, for a very, very long time, no matter who's been in charge."
"Too many rail ministers and you wonder why things aren't really progressing at all."
"Don't fall for the promises. Don't fall for all that mumbo jumbo. In a nutshell, the supply of housing needs to be dramatically increased."
