It is no secret the UK housing market is facing one of its biggest supply crises yet. At the start of this year there were 350,980 properties for sale in the UK, 36 per cent fewer than at the start of 2020. As the number of houses available to buyers remains low, house prices have simply continued to rise.

They discuss the housing supply crisis in its current state, and what can be done to solve it. The FTAdviser Podcast is the weekly podcast for financial advisers, brought to you by FTAdviser.

The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments, pensions, regulation and other key issues. Hosted on Acast.
