• e-mail

As the next 総選挙 draws ever closer, 利益／興味 will grow around what the main 政党s are 約束ing to 配達する on.

The 住宅 market is one area we can 推定する／予想する them all to 焦点（を合わせる） on, with each wishing to be seen as the party of choice for homeowners, first-time 買い手s and renters.??

With the next 総選挙 予定 by January 2025, we decided to take a closer look at what three of the main 政党s are 約束ing when it comes to 住宅.

Ed Davey(left), Rishi Sunak (middle) and Sir Keir Starmer (権利) will want their party to be seen as the best choice for homeowners, first-time 買い手s and renters

What are the 保守的なs 約束ing?

300,000 new homes a year by 中央の-2020s?

The 保守的な Party's 客観的なs for 住宅 s eemed rather vague at their party 会議／協議会 in Manchester earlier this month.

In fact, 住宅 was barely について言及するd. However, that doesn't mean the Tories don't have a 計画（する）.

To start with they remain focussed on their 的 of building 300,000 new homes each year. This is a 約束 they made in their 2019 総選挙 manifesto, in which they 誓約（する）d to 'continue to 増加する the number of homes 存在 built.'

However, they gave themselves some 余裕／偏流 by also 明言する／公表するing that the 300,000 a year 的 would be arrived at by the 中央の-2020s.

Since 2019, the 政府 is yet to 配達する on its 300,000 的. They have 普通の／平均（する）d around 230,000 instead, with around 233,000 new homes 供給（する）d in 2021/22.

The 保守的なs' are also 約束ing to?保護する the green belt and favour 開発 of Brownfield 場所／位置s.

Renters 改革（する） 法案?

Another 保守的な 客観的な is to pass the Renters 改革（する） 法案, which will change the 法律 in regard to rented homes.

It 含むs 廃止するing 直す／買収する，八百長をするd 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 保証するd tenancies and 保証するd shorthold tenancies, 同様に as 廃止するing いわゆる 'no fault' evictions that 許す landlords to 終結させる tenancies 早期に without giving any 推論する／理由.

There are also 確かな 義務s to be placed on landlords that should give tenants greater 安全 such as no more 独断的な rent reviews and longer notice periods for rent 増加するs.

- Read our review about what the Renters 改革（する） 法案 will mean for landlords and renters to find out more.

Although the 法案 was 現在のd to 議会 earlier this year - the first reading, the date for the second reading is yet to be 発表するd.

With 多重の steps 要求するd before a 法案 is given 王室の Assent and becomes 法律, it's 安全な to say we may be waiting a while.

Stamp (義務 一時的な 救済) 行為／法令／行動する?

It's also 価値（がある） pointing out that in February 2023, the 政府 passed the Stamp 義務 Land 税金 (一時的な 救済) 行為／法令／行動する, which 減ずるs the 量 of stamp 義務 paid for many house 買い手s, until 31 March 2025.

This 増加するs the threshold up to which stamp 義務 is not paid ? the 'nil 率 禁止（する）d', from £125,000 to £250,000.

It also 増加するd the nil 率 禁止（する）d for first-time 買い手s, from £300,000 to £425,000 and 増加するd the 最大限 量 first-time 買い手s can buy a house for and still be 適格の for 救済, from £500,000 to £625,000.

For example, someone buying their first home for £600,000 would now 支払う／賃金 stamp 義務 of £8,750 rather than the £20,000 they would have done 以前.

Timothy Douglas, 長，率いる of 政策 and （選挙などの）運動をするs at Propertymark, said: 'The 保守的な Party's 記録，記録的な／記録する in 政府 means we are continuing to talk about building more homes that the country 猛烈に needs.

'改革（する）ing planning, new homes to 逮捕する 無 and more affordable places to live are 決定的な but we need 活動／戦闘 now.?

'その上に, the party of home 所有権 also needs to be the party of renting which means a whole-規模 review of 税金s 衝撃ing landlords and 投資 in the 私的な rented 部門.

'The money to support 地域の 開発 is welcome but the 割合 of towns that will receive support is a 減少（する） in the ocean compared to what is needed.'

What is 労働 planning?

Get Britain Building?

住宅 was a central 問題／発行する at last week's 労働 Party 会議／協議会 in Liverpool with grand house building 計画（する）s 発表するd と一緒に stamp 義務 改革（する）.

During the 労働 Party 会議／協議会, there were 約束s from 影をつくる／尾行する （ドイツなどの）首相／（大学の）学長 Rachel Reeves to 改革（する） stamp 義務 and Britain's planning system.

Angela Rayner, 労働's 副 leader 約束d to build more affordable and social 住宅 if 労働 ge ts into 力／強力にする.

Rayner said: 'I 誓約（する） to you today that Keir and I will 配達する the biggest 上げる in affordable and social 住宅 in a 世代, and that 含むs 会議 住宅.'

This was followed by 労働 Leader Sir Keir Starmer's 誓約（する） to 'get Britain building again.'

He said 労働 will commit to building 1.5 million more affordable first homes over a five year period.

住宅 was a central 問題／発行する at this week's 労働 Party 会議／協議会 in Liverpool with grand house building 計画（する）s 発表するd と一緒に stamp 義務 改革（する）

He also 発表するd 計画（する）s to build new towns to create new communities with beautiful homes, green spaces, and reliable 輸送（する） links.

The 計画（する） to get Britain building again will also 含む devolving 力／強力にする to 地元の 市長s, 認めるing them stronger 力／強力にするs over planning and 反対／詐欺 trol over 住宅 投資.

類似の to the 保守的な 政府, Starmer was also （疑いを）晴らす 労働 will prioritise building on brownfield 場所／位置s rather than in the countryside.

The 労働 party will 問題／発行する 'planning パスポートs' for 都市の brownfield 開発; with a 急速な／放蕩な 跡をつける 是認 and 配達／演説／出産 of high-濃度／密度 住宅 on 都市の brownfield 場所／位置s.

Speaking in Liverpool last week, Starmer said: 'Today we 開始する，打ち上げる a new 計画（する） to get Britain building again. No more land 銀行業者s sitting comfortably on brownfield 場所／位置s.

'No more 会議s, 辞退するing to develop a 地元の 計画（する） because they prefer the backdoor 取引，協定. No more inertia in the 直面する of 抵抗.

'It's time to build 1.5 million homes across the country. 適切な時期 for first time 買い手s in every community. New 開発 会社／団体s with the 力／強力にする to 除去する the blockages.

'Where there are good 職業s, where there is good 組織／基盤／下部構造, where there is good land for affordable homes, we'll get shovels in the ground and cranes in the sky and build the next 世代 of 労働 new towns.'

Henry Pryor believes although 労働's five-year housebuilding 的 is essentially the same as the 保守的な Party's, the 労働 party at least seems like the more 信頼できる 選択, given the 政府's 現在の 記録，記録的な／記録する.

Pryor said: '住宅 wasn't について言及するd once by the 総理大臣 at his parties 会議／協議会 in Manchester 反して 労働 seem to have 住宅 tattoo'd on every members forehead.

Henry Pryor says: '住宅 wasn't について言及するd at the 保守党 会議／協議会 in Manchester 反して 労働 seem to have 住宅 tattoo'd on every members forehead.'

'300,000 new homes a year has been the 的 for the past １０年間 and yet has never been 達成するd.

'労働 won't find it a lot easier but they have one thing on their 味方する - 信用性. The 保守的なs have 非，不，無 after their u-turn on HS2 and their fixation with the long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 rather than the 即座の problems and public support.

'It's taken years but finally the 大多数 of people agree that more homes are needed and it may be that 労働 can 小衝突 aside the 反対s for the usual 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑うs and get on and 配達する.

'As for building social houses on Brownfield land my call is 'build, build, build'.

'推定では good for house 建設業者s but also good for the 1.5m on social 住宅 waiting 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）s and the 120,000 kids who woke up this morning in the 同等（の） of Bed and Breakfast accommodation.'

Higher stamp 義務 on foreign 買い手s?

Rachel Reeves also made it （疑いを）晴らす that 労働 ーするつもりであるs to 的 overseas 買い手s by 増加するing the stamp 義務 they 支払う／賃金 when they 購入（する） UK 所有物／資産／財産.

Reeves 再確認するd 労働's 意向 to make 70 per cent of British 世帯s homeowners.

To help them 達成する this, the 労働 party 計画（する）s to use any extra 歳入 生成するd by the 割増し料金 to 投資する in building more affordable 住宅.

At 現在の, overseas 買い手s 支払う／賃金 an 付加 stamp 義務 割増し料金 同等（の） to 2 per cent of the 購入（する） price.

The 割増し料金 作品 と一緒に the 3 per cent 割増し料金 for anyone buying a second 所有物／資産／財産 in the UK, meaning an overseas 投資家 who already owns another 所有物／資産／財産 anywhere in the world is liable for both and see 5 per cent 追加するd to 基準 stamp 義務 levels.

This means a 非，不，無-居住（者） 投資家 buying a second 所有物／資産／財産 価値（がある） £300,000, 現在／一般に 支払う／賃金s an 付加 £6,000 of stamp 義務 compared to your typical UK buy-to-let 投資家 and an extra £15,000 compared to a typical home mover without a second 所有物／資産／財産.

労働 did not (a)手の込んだ／(v)詳述する on how much they would 増加する the stamp 義務 割増し料金 by, but it will certainly mean buying 所有物／資産／財産 becomes more expensive for overseas 所有物／資産／財産 投資家s.

Reeves said: 'It is not 権利, that while so many people are struggling, so many of our homes are bought by overseas 買い手s, who may own a 所有物／資産／財産 but leave it 空いている. 運動ing up prices while young people and families are desperate to get の上に the 所有物／資産／財産 ladder.

'Because a house should be first a home and not an 資産, we will raise the stamp 義務 割増し料金 on overseas 買い手s.'

需要・要求する from overseas 買い手s helps 解除する house prices in 確かな 場所s, making them いっそう少なく affordable to the 居住（者）s who live there.

The 目的 of the new 税金 would arguably help to make house prices in those areas more affordable, helping people get の上に and move up the 住宅 ladder more easily.

During the 労働 会議／協議会, there were 約束s from 影をつくる／尾行する （ドイツなどの）首相／（大学の）学長 Rachel Reeves to 改革（する） stamp 義務 and Britain's planning system

However, Guy Meacock, director of buying 機関, Prime 購入（する）, believes it would be a mistake.

He says: 'Foreign owners of 所有物／資産／財産 are regarded as low hanging fruit when it comes to 増加するing 課税, even though they may not やむを得ず be buying homes that British people want.?

'税金ing them more will undoubtedly have an 衝撃 on the prime London markets.

'It will 攻撃する，衝突する the 最高の，を越す end of the market at a time where 政府s are looking to 税金 people more and more.?

'People buying 所有物／資産／財産 here alread y 支払う／賃金 a lot of 税金 into the system and thank goodness for them.?

'While it may be an 平易な 選択 and 供給するs a 広大な／多数の／重要な soundbite, 地位，任命する-Brexit should we be cutting ourselves 流浪して from 大陸の Europe and can we really afford to 阻止する more 買い手s who 供給する so much wealth to our marketplace and economy? It is not a 手段 that is going to 高める our 評判.'

'Arguably, if you want to kickstart the market and bring in more 歳入, stamp 義務 needs to be 減ずるd rather than 増加するd.'

As for buying スパイ／執行官 Henry Pryor, he 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑うs a その上の stamp 義務 割増し料金 will make little to no difference.

'Higher Stamp 義務 on overseas 買い手s continues the 現在の 政府's 決意 that the UK hangs up a 調印する at Dover 説 'No foreigners',' says Pryor.

'It's an 平易な 勝利，勝つ and may 井戸／弁護士席 be matched by an 増加する on buy-to-let landlords. It will make little difference to the market as a whole as most 買い手s who are 衝撃d will still be able to （人命などを）奪う，主張する the 税金 支援する when they sell, setting the 購入（する） and sale costs against their 資本／首都 伸び（る） 税金 法案.

What are the 自由主義の 民主党員s planning?

Social 住宅 的, second homes and 賃貸しの 改革（する）?

Although the 自由主義の 民主党員s' only have 15 members of 議会 in the House of ありふれたs it's 価値（がある） looking at what the party's 住宅 計画（する）s are, in 事例／患者 their numbers 改善する at the next 選挙.?

After all, if things are tight between the 保守的なs and 労働, they could be used once again as part of a 連合.

The 自由主義の 民主党員s' now have a 国家の 的 for building social or 会議 homes. They are 目的（とする）ing for 150,000 a year by the end of the next 議会, with new po wers for 地元の 当局 to build their own social and affordable 住宅.

They also have a ten-year 緊急 programme to 絶縁する Britain's homes 同様に as new 基準s to 確実にする new homes are warm, cheap to heat and produce 極小の 放出／発行s.

They want to 確実にする developers build appropriate 組織／基盤／下部構造 needed for new 住宅 開発s and also want to 廃止する leaseholds for 居住の 所有物／資産／財産s and 効果的に end ground rents by cutting them to a 名目上の 料金.

自由主義の 民主党員 Leader Ed Davey says he wants to 焦点（を合わせる） on building social 住宅

類似の to the Tories, they want to introduce a fair 取引，協定 for renters, 含むing longer default tenancies, rent smoothing over the course of a tenancy, and banning no fault evictions.

They want to 認める new 力／強力にするs for 地元の 当局 to 支配（する）／統制する and manage second homes and holiday lets.

They also want to 拡大する Neighbourhood Planning, more democratic 約束／交戦 in 地元の 計画（する）s, 改革（する）ing the Land 補償（金） 行為／法令／行動する to 確実にする land can be bought at a fair price and 延長するing the 自由主義の 民主党員 提案するd 商業の Landowner 徴収する to land with planning 許可, but not yet built on.

Finally they have a goal of building 10 new garden cities to help 取り組む the 住宅 危機.

Timothy Douglas, 長，率いる of 政策 and （選挙などの）運動をするs at Propertymark, said: 'We need to build more homes and 的s are important, 特に when they are linked to what is needed across different 任期s.

'They 焦点（を合わせる） minds on the 仕事 at 手渡す and 最高潮の場面 the 規模 of the challenge that 政府s and our political leaders need to 会合，会う for 世代s to come.

'と一緒に a 焦点（を合わせる） on housebuilding, we are pleased to see the 自由主義の 民主党員s 向こうずね a スポットライト on the need to build more social homes, 改革（する） and 廃止する leasehold 同様に as the need for a long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 programme to 絶縁する people's homes.

'法律制定 to 改革（する） the 私的な rented 部門 remain on the （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する and the 会議／協議会 供給するd Propertymark with an 適切な時期 to engage with 対立 政治家，政治屋s so we can 形態／調整 these 提案s as best as possible and 確実にする our members 発言する／表明するs are heard.'
