🔹 The government has committed to economic growth as its top political priority and it has placed housing delivery at the heart of its growth strategy.

🔹 Economic growth is hard to achieve without significant population growth, particularly in the working age population, so new figures released by the ONS are encouraging.

🔹 The population of England and Wales increased by nearly 610,000 people over the past year, to a total of 60.9 million. That is the most significant growth in 75 years and boosts the working age population (aged 20 to 65) at a time when other European nations are experiencing a decline.

🔹 The UK population is projected to reach 77 million by 2046 and that will intensify the need for housing to cater for the growing number of people. Building new homes is the key to solving the nation's housing crisis and expected to drive economic growth too.

🔹The government announced plans to impose VAT on private school fees to fund improvements in public education.

🔹 The current exemption from value-added tax (VAT) will be removed to fund 6,500 new teachers in England. VAT at the standard rate of 20% will be added to private school fees starting 1 January 2025.

🔹 In a poll of agents, 24% report noticing an increase in demand for homes close to outstanding rated schools, directly associated with the announcement.

🔹 Just 15% of schools are judged to be Ofsted Outstanding, but 90% achieved the rating: Good or Outstanding, up from 68% in 2010 – suggesting that standards are continuing to improve. (Department for Education).

🔹 The government has made clear its commitment to getting new homes built to address the housing crisis and surveys show that growing numbers of people are on-side with the idea of new developments.

🔹 But, it will be challenging. Only 114,000 new homes were built in the first half of 2024 in England and Wales, 11% fewer than the same period of 2022, according to DLUHC.

🔹 Indeed the NHBC, who log completions in a different way, suggest that the rate of new home delivery will need to more than double if we are to deliver 1.5 million homes over the next five years.

🔹 The urgency to reverse any downward trend is clear and much hope is hanging on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill to create a more efficient and better-funded planning process.

🔹 The government has also announced new home-buyer incentives alongside the planning changes, as well as infrastructure investment in power grids, water supply, and roads – all of which should oil the wheels of new home-building.

🔹 As the Starmers settle into Downing Street, homeowners across the nation might now be reconsidering their plans for moving house.

🔹 The lead up to a General Election typically creates uncertainty and a slowdown in the housing market. This year was no exception – although the impact was more muted as successive interest rate rises had already stifled demand.

🔹 In June, we asked agents for their views on confidence in the housing market and, at the time, 55% reported similar or lower levels than 3 months earlier. However, sales volume expectations for the next three months, have reached their most upbeat level since January 2022.

🔹 The greater political clarity, alongside the imminently expected Bank of England interest rate cut, should give added impetus to housing market confidence.

🔹 As we await the opening of the Paris Olympics, it’s a fitting time to look back on the legacy achieved since the London 2012 Olympic Games.

🔹 The London games cost £8.8 billion to stage but had already delivered £14.2 billion in economic value by 2014, with sustainable long term outcomes for the community.

🔹Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the largest urban park project in Europe in the last 150 years, exemplifies long-term community benefits, with all Olympic venues still actively used as event, culture or employment hubs.

🔹 The London Olympics spurred major infrastructure projects like the Elizabeth Line and Westfield Stratford, with continued development at park sites showing the legacy of the Games twelve years on.

🔹 With peak rental season underway, homes to rent continue to be in high demand and are renting quickly. The median time on the market from listing to finding a renter is just 12 days meaning that over half of all homes are being rented in less than 2 weeks.

🔹 There’s a similar picture in all regions across the country but there are some properties renting even quicker than others. 1-bed flats are currently flying off the books most quickly in an average of 10 days, with 43% let in under a week.

🔹 This is likely to get even quicker over the next few weeks. In July and August last year, properties took just 10 days, on average, to rent.
