Supply and demand
For a free market, capitalist supporting, non-interventionist government to not understand the laws of supply and demand is quite amazing.
But what else are we to think about the idea of a return of help to buy? A system that subsidies first time buyers and so forces up prices. It is nothing more than a multi billion pound con paid for by taxpayers which puts money in the pockets of home owners and buy to let landlords.
The answer is house building, increasing supply tends to bring down prices.
End of.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
