The UK’s housing market appears to be in crisis. Do investors and impact capital have an opportunity to address it?
August 2021
The UK’s housing market appears to be in crisis. Rising house prices and stagnant wages have left those earning median incomes and below effectively priced out of the market. A lack of supply and significant demand has made the UK one of the least affordable housing markets in the world, while London is consistently ranked in the top five most expensive cities in which to purchase property. We believe investors and impact capital have a unique opportunity to address this crisis.
