In this report, Ben Cooper and Palma Oxley analyse the scale of the decline in homeownership among young people, its causes, and its impact on new-build housing supply. They set out a series of recommendations to help more people afford their first home, reduce the costs of homeownership, and improve consumer outcomes for those buying a new-build property.
This paper sets out a stimulus package of ‘quick wins’ to ramp up the number of good quality homes built in the communities that need them. Implemented together, these reforms could deliver an extra 87,000 dwellings a year – equivalent to raising predicted housebuilding in 2029-30 by 36 per cent. The proposals would help England build over 300,000 homes in a single year for the first time since 1969.
In this pamphlet, which features a foreword by the former secretary of state for health and social care, Wes Streeting MP, experts and policymakers identify the decisions the government will need to get right to build a National Health Service.
This report sets out how the next Scottish government should use its powers to deliver a significant increase in housebuilding rates and tackle high housing costs. It analyses the main impacts of the housing emergency, and examines why Scotland hasn’t built enough since 2007. The report also looks at Scottish public attitudes towards the housing emergency and housebuilding and sets out an ambitious set of solutions to ensure enough good quality homes are built.
BEN COOPER: If the government is to build 1.5m new homes this parliament - they must be great places to live
For many years, England has been in the grip of a disastrous housing crisis. Chronically low rates of building have made both renting and buying a home extraordinarily expensive, and millions are suffering as a result.
Quantity, however, is not the only consideration. People want to live in attractive, high-quality homes in flourishing communities. In this pamphlet, experts weigh in on what makes somewhere a great place to live and discuss how policymakers can get there.
