RE: Will Britain be able to Build 1.5 Million Homes in the Next 5 Years?

It will need various incentives to make it happen. They need to help out the first-time buyers and penalise those buying up multiple properties. Housing is an essential, not a luxury. There are lots of commercial properties being converted including one in our village a few years back. They should not be compromising too much on green measures. I think they retreated on making solar compulsory, but homes need to be cheaper to run.

I get that they are struggling to balance the books, but they need to be up front about the challenges and stop blaming the previous lot. They got elected and have to make things better. We just can't expect miracles.
