Buzz & Beyond: House prices
Published: Feb, 22 2025 16:00
As the UK government puts faith in construction, one council has lowered costs by cracking down on second homes and holiday lets. Congratulations to Gwynedd, Wales, where the local council’s policies have lowered house prices. This should be the ultimate aim of all the housing and planning initiatives of this government – whether through “cutting red tape”, “kickstarting” the construction industry with publicly funded incentives, talking about far in the future new towns, or promising unfeasible numbers of new homes.
