The UK is currently experiencing a cost-of-living crisis and turbulence in the financial markets, all against a backdrop of a government in chaos and a third Prime Minister in as many months. Amongst this, we’re witnessing one of the biggest housing crises in recent history. The average age of a first-time buyer has risen from 27 to 34 in the last decade, and rental prices have far exceeded wage growth; increasing by 46%. There are clear issues in the industry, but what can be done to address them?
 
In this episode of Fisher German Talks, James Beverley, Associate at Fisher German, is joined by Chris May, a partner at Howes Percival Solicitors, to put the housing and planning industry under the spotlight. Together they look at the current state of the market, the legislation that is both freeing up the market for growth but also imposing barriers to housing delivery, and the concrete steps that can be taken by the industry to deal with the crisis. As always, the focus is on sustainability, and how the industry can build to both supply a growing market of buyers and protect the environment.
