Labour is also planning a housebuilding blitz in the first few weeks, although Daniel Austin, chief executive and co-founder at Ask Partners, feels there is “little resolution in sight”.
He said: “Housing stands as a pivotal issue in the election fray, given its correlation with economic stability. Decades of social strain persist with little resolution in sight.
“We urge the implementation of a radical yet credible long-term plan to assuage market concerns. [Labour’s] proposed target of 300,000 homes annually echoes longstanding government aspirations unmet since 2004.”
