With the final budget of this Parliament now passed and each of the main parties setting out their stalls as far as the housing market is concerned, we can see there is a clear lack from all camps of an overarching housing strategy.
The latest scheme announced in George Osborne's budget of 'Help-to-buy ISA's' are another short term measure and does little other than to kick this major issue into the long grass. By doing so it may result in lower levels of homeownership going forward, with owner-occupation falling over the next four or five years.
