Britain’s Next Government Faces a Mounting Housing Crisis

Britain is facing a mounting housing crisis amid a shortage of supply that the country’s new government will have to address as a priority, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

In its monthly housing report, RICS said supplies fell in March, putting further upward pressure on prices. Jeremy Blackburn, head of policy at the institution, said the stock must be boosted “particularly for those on lower incomes.”
