    So from what you're saying, the obvious answer would be to target serial landlords, those who own large portfolios of houses, taxing or potentially preventing them from being allowed to purchase, and even rent out properties classed as affordable

      Not really tbh. It’s nice in theory… but peopel are always looking to blame someone.
      Ownership has almost always made up 60%, rented 40% (in our country at least) it’s STILL around that. If anything home ownership has gone up it’s just that SOCIAL housing has dropped and private has gone up
      If you do that, there will be less rentals, driving up rental prices even further. In theory the price would drop a little though, but not as much as you think as there’s still crazy demand.
      The only real solution is building more property

      The real solution is conditions in the UK becoming such that the influx of immigrants in the last few decades emigrate back again. As the countries these people come from develop and become richer combined with a decline in the UK we may well see that happen to some extent. Often people have an image of what the UK is only to find that the actual conditions aren't as great as they had imagined. Power is shifting globally. So at some point if we do build lots of houses there will possibly be an abundance of housing. At that point prices will drop drastically.

      @JamieYork I'm only going by what you said in your video Jamie, and I would expect this sort of response from someone who falls into this group of landlords I'm referring to.
      The problem is that in towns such as mine, a handful of people own the majority of rental properties, meaning they get to dictate the rent around here, and surprise surprise, they target the "affordable" houses.
      This has been an ongoing issue since Labour allowed councils to sell houses to foreign investors, and further exhausted by large wealthy families giving their relatives the money to purchase houses on the first-time buyer's scheme, all the while remaining in the family home, the whole situation is a joke.
      Gentrification is well and truly in effect here, to the point where there are currently only 4 properties for sale, in a town with a population of 60k+ but it's cool, at least I can rent a 2 bedroom 500sqft property for £1.2k a month 🤨

    Rachel Reeves has in the last half hour been making her first speech as Chancellor and she spoke about planning reforms etc. and building 1.5m homes in the next 5 years (i.e. 300k homes a year). In the Q&A there was the following question put forward (it was a 2 part question so I have taken out the green infrastructure part so not the full text/question and have focused on the housing):
    Question from BBC “in history we have only had this level of house building when the state has been involved. Are you relying too much on the private sector”
    Reeves answer “we need the private sector to build homes, we’re not going to be in the business of building those homes directly, we need the construction sector and the house building sector to build those homes”
    So, no government building and they will rely on the house builders to magically double the amount of homes they build. I'd love to be proved wrong but, IMHO, it ain't gonna happen. A million by 2030 would be impressive.

He's refashioned the party more or less in his image over the past few years, with a solid core of acolytes and believers. A good many have already jumped ship. Corbyn, as the far left's leader, will probably never run as Labour again.

    The majority of renters would buy if they could afford it. Rent caps would indeed cause a short term increase in rental prices whilst greedy landlords panic sell, but in the long term this would reduce property price, and people would be able to afford to buy their own homes. There is a time and a place for rentals e.g. students, holiday homes etc, but the balance is not there.

Labour and Tories work for the same high elites. As Labour was elected by only 35% of the electorate, it can't properly sustain itself and reach the wishes of the entire of british population. The crisis is very deep in the West as society and economy is eroding to a point of no return. I hope I am wrong, I hope Labour scrap planning regulations, build on most of the Green belt and start huge soviet style council housing.

    • @JamieYork
      @JamieYork  22 дні тому +1

      The price would drop for sure, but not to the level people seem to think. The supply of house is just far too little.
      Let’s say they drop 10%, which I personally can’t see. So that would bring the average house to about £250k instead of £280k… the deposit required would be £3k less, the payments at 5% interest would be roughly £125 less each month.
      For those that can afford it, it’s not a massive difference. For those that are ‘poor’ they still can’t afford it
      Then crux of it is those that CAN’T pay for it, then still need to rent… but now there’s even more of a shortage of available rentals, so rents go up even more drastically.
      Moving around ownership and who can own etc make very little difference. It benefits some, it hurts others.
      The only legitimate option is to make developing more properties viable
      Hopefully that makes some sense

    The elephant in the room here is why investors are allowed to mop up the lower priced new builds, thus removing them from the market and denying the first time buyers who then have to resort to renting. And what do they rent? Well it’s the property that you investors have just bought. Consequently they then find themselves in the rent trap, whereby they cannot afford to save for a deposit due to ridiculous rent payments.
    This outrageous situation should be outlawed imo.

      You cannot solve the housing problem until you solve the immigration problem. It is the basic law of supply and demand. If the demand for housing remains strong and the supply cannot keep up with that demand, prices will rise. Any government intervention will only exacerbate the problem.

    Has the Uk govement mismanaged the BOE base rate for 16 years ? yes. Ultra low rates have lead to massive property speculation- using free money. Have the incomes of first time residential buyers tripled in 16 years ? no.

    People forget that originally its was the Tories and the Whigs in parliament. After the war people had had enough of the status quo (not the group, they are not that old) and the Labour Party was formed. So a new party can come in to existence and be voted in to power. If reform is what people want then that is what we should get.
    However when you look at France and Italy we’ve seen they are happy to manipulate the system to stay in power or cut off the legs of the voted in party. Democracy is all but done. CBDC and digital ID are on their way and then we are sunk.

  • @polyphonics557

    If young people can't get the mortgages it doesn't matter how many cheap starter homes you build. A lot of the younger people have only ever know low interest rates. Young people also do not appear to "make do" with something and work their way up, they just one the really nice house now......and that's not going to happen with small badly built starter homes and Labour is probably about to make private transport a lot more expensive so without GOOD transport links to these brownfield sites these "estates" of cheaper housing will not be attractive. How exactly you make a cheap house with a heat pump, solar and an EV charging point I haven't a clue. Most of the Councils are broke so it's not like they can suddenly embark on a massive restock of council houses. The large private house builders are not about to throw away profit in a charitable gesture to the Labour Government. Just because you reform the planning department does not guarantee that existing landowners affected by your plans will take legal action.
    This is the bit I don't get with the politicians.......they all say "We need to do this" and "we need to do that"......the issues they point out are noble and true but they don't actually explain how they are going to do it and when the lift the lid on the proverbial Pandora's box they suddenly have to U-turn. Whilst people will stick their fingers in their ears rather than listen to another person who actually delivered Brexit.....they are missing that that person actually explains how he will do things and even has the balls to make his ideas a contract rather than a manifesto.
    Saying on camera all these things you're going to do might be good enough for the biased news readers on the National TV Channel.......but turning ideas into delivered reality takes more than just convincing the biased news readers.

    Many wealthy individuals have already fled the UK for countries such as France, Switzerland, the US, Canada, UAE, Singapore, and Australia. This trend will strain the UK economy in the coming years. There isn't going to be any rich people remaining to tax so everyone else will get taxed more instead.
    Under Starmer's leadership, economic challenges resembling those seen under the Tories will continue, including inflation exacerbated by rate cuts, potential layoffs, and increased strikes. Market volatility is likely, reminiscent of the 1970s.
    Contrary to some views, I don't believe Starmer is a Tory in disguise. His approach differs from traditional Tory conservatism. Four out of the past five Tory leaders often leaned towards liberal or even leftist in their policies. Advised by Tony Blair, there are concerns that Starmer's tenure could lead to international conflicts and war, and a revival of Blair-era initiatives like ID cards.The Lib-Dems and Reform will probably push back against this but we'll probably have to put pressure on Labour MPs to vote against the government if they decide to do that.
    I think Starmer will remain PM for an extended period, with the Reform Party potentially gaining electoral ground. Labour's aggressive pursuit of net-zero goals and expansion of cycle lanes, seemingly driven by global agendas rather than public opinion, could adversely impact the economy and public sentiment. It is not really responsible to encourage people to use one of the most dangerous forms of transport and to be threatening to ban petrol and diesel cars and vans which will lead to more economic uncertainty and chaos. I'm expecting big crashes of the markets in the next 18 months and more black swan events.

      @JamieYork Labour, Tories, and party that wants to bring in stimulus to the market.

      ​@@TasmanianDevil22to be honest if e wait too long the market may get significantly worse. We also need to think about the generations ready to leave home & wanting to start families. If we delay that then you fuck up the future generations. Also let's not kid ourselves looking at the housing market rent & mortgages it's getting harder for people on low to middle incomes to survive which will have a knock on effect on the overall economy as well

      @Emperor-Inker I am not saying don't build social homes, I am all for it, and welcome it, in fact. I am saying stop using tax payers money to prop the market up. It is affecting people's ability to live and are just prisoners in their own homes.

    Surely if it's your property then you can do what you want with it. Otherwise it's not really yours. It may be the tenants "home2 but it's my "house". That should always trump the tenant

      It does is many ways, but tenants should definitely have protection in my opinion

    Majority of people who didn't want to vote for the Conservatives this time round, voted for Labour out of spite - a bit like the people who voted to stay in the EU for their personal reasons and not the best inerests of the country
    Reform will come true and time will tell

    Problem with British politics and society is that people in power are absolutely obsessed with subsidising the least productive in society at the expense of the most productive.
    When you work too hard and earn money they tax you hard, we’ve reached a point where you’re better off on benefits than a low paying job.
    I know someone who quit his job as a healthcare assistant in the NHS to claim dole. He was only £60 better off in the NHS, he said that he’s happy anyway because that £60 went on petrol and food, now he has unlimited time to go to the gym and play Xbox

    You are chatting shit. Your property going down in value doesn't mean you'll go and buy lower value properties after...
    Also you being forced to sell the property because the costs are too high is great as it increases the supply of housing which drives house prices back down to earth.

      Decallion… that’s just not how economics works. We need more supply put into the market. Nothing else will drive down prices
      People need places to live, whether that’s through rental or ownership. There’s just not enough

    Should have voted Reform. Reduce the number of people in the country.
    There wouldn't be as high a demand for housing.
    Employee's wages would increase, that would allow to spend and save more.
    Cheap labour is keeping the working class poor while foreigners are happy to work for peanuts as they send the money back to their homeland for their family who become wealthy in their own country. The system is absolutely corrupt against British workers.

    Voted Labour as the tories needed to go. I’m not a Labour voter normally.
    Something needs to be done to close the wealth gap. I get that property owners with millions invested in properties want more profits, but at some point when instead of 5 million using food banks it gets to 20 million the economy will collapse.
