PropMatch Curated Analysis
Reform UK predicts the government will miss its 1.5m new homes target by over 40%, delivering only 800k homes due to excessive building costs from net zero regulations. This aligns with Savills research showing similar supply shortfalls through 2029.
Investor Relevance
Severe housing supply constraints would support property values and rental demand across all residential sectors. Investors should factor this supply shortage into acquisition strategies and consider how reduced new build competition affects existing portfolio values and rental pricing power.
