300,000+ new homes are required each year by 2029
Much is being spoken by our politicians as to how to save the UK housing crisis. Indeed the current government have said that they WILL solve the housing crisis by building 300,000 homes per year between 2024 and 2029.
Talk is cheap
The problem is that the previous government said similar as did all of the governments before that going back to the 1980’s. The reality is that for politicians talk is cheap and often just a headline grab as proven by the fact that no more than 200,000 homes have been built in any year since the 1960’s.
Goverment unable or unwilling to remedy
The UK housing crisis is one that Prime Ministers, Chancellors and Housing Ministers seem unable to (or unwilling) to remedy. And this is a real problem not just for would be buyers of homes, especially first time buyers but also for social housing tenants and those on housing waiting lists whereby there is an ongoing and significant shortage of availability.
Russell Quirk
is the man with the plan
Russell Quirk, Co-Founder of ProperPR is a regular housing commentator for the media and a property expert having been involved in the sector for 25 plus years. And he has written an essay that he believes SOLVES the problem of the UK housing deficit and therefore the crisis of shortage.
My essay deals with this problem and pulls no punches. It sets out the problem and the solution to building an additional 100,000+ homes each year or in fact any amount that is needed. It discusses how to establish and solve variable geographic demand and sets out where the land to build these new homes can come from.
I wonder when politicians will grab this initiative and use it to fix Britain’s broken housing supply at last? Or are they merely fixated on short term remedies and headlines for which they will receive public credit rather than the pass credit to the next guy? It does make you wonder.

Huge regional variations in pricing. Scotland up 3%, Wales down 2%. There is no such thing as ‘the UK property market’ as a generic
London too is a mix of market activity.…
“How are young people expected to get on the housing ladder….?”
Well, they could buy somewhere other than Wanstead or White City perhaps? I hear Milton Keynes is nice.
No one has a ‘right’ to buy a home in London, ffs.
