The Housing, Communities and Local Government (HCLG) Committee has launched an inquiry into the affordability of home ownership, with a focus on those looking to buy a home to live in rather than for rental or investment purposes. The inquiry is examining the challenges faced by first-time buyers and those on lower incomes in accessing home ownership, and how financial support and government policies could help overcome these these barriers.
G15 plays a vital role in expanding access to home ownership in London. We have submitted a formal response to the inquiry, asking Government to consider making a number of policy changes to improve affordability and home ownership. Read our full response below.
