London is the best place in the world to call home — the trouble is finding somewhere to live. A decades-long house price boom has made getting on the property ladder impossible for millions, while rent can consume more than half of disposable income.
Rishi Sunak has today “stepped in” to sort the capital’s housing crisis, announcing a further £200 million package — including £53 million for Old Oak West and £150 million for house building direct to London boroughs. There was also time left over to give the Mayor of London a good kicking, suggesting Sadiq Khan had “failed to deliver on the homes that London needs”.
