"New supply in a market dominated by private house builders will also have a limited impact on overall house prices because volume builders operate a business model that actively seeks to keep them high."

[Peter Apps @PeteApps]

Building 1.5m homes is not the same as ending the housing crisis.

Bit by me for @dezeen:

Finance and NOT supply is the root cause of high house prices … @RachelReevesMP & @AngelaRayner have the wrong diagnosis and wrong cure.

Soaring UK house prices are not due to lack of supply, Bank of England finds https://t.co/uwjEdROFuI

Since the 1990s we’ve had a 7% net gain in housing stock, and yet a 300% increase in rents.

But sure, let’s just keep doing the same thing and hope it gets better, instead of restoring the rent controls that Thatcher abolished.

Continuity Thatcherism from Reeves, sadly. Which means that rents and housing costs *must* stay horrendously high.

Saw 4 of these on the tram this morning

@TfL why are you taking money from an anti lgbt+ conspiracy theory preacher during pride month? Does this conform to your anti-hate messaging?

Very good write-up by the lawyers of Aysen Dennis's victory over Notting Hill Housing and Southwark Council at the Aylesbury Estate. Worth a careful read https://t.co/jqvnDK4mMT

Are you bored? Would you like to play with an interactive map showing all the 38,590 overseas entities holding English/Welsh real estate? With clickable thingies that let you identify where someone has unlawfully hidden their ownership...
