Dreams and reality?
The coalition and the current governments have undertaken widespread intervention housing. Previously such involvement was mainly through the tax system or aimed at delivering more affordable housing
A wide range of financial and other incentives have now been put in place to stimulate homeownership or the housing market, building on measures that began four decades ago but are now on an unprecedented scale. Although individual initiatives such as "Help to Buy" have been examined by researchers. There has been little or no assessment of government intervention in the round. This report aims to fill that gap.
