Property Requirements

Market Reality

The Demand Is Overwhelming

Councils are legally obligated to house people. Supply cannot meet demand. This is structural, not cyclical.

100,000+
Families on council housing waiting lists nationally. Every borough is short of supply.
£1.7B+
Annual council spend on temporary accommodation. Budgets increasing year on year.
56%
Increase in households in temporary accommodation since 2012. Trend accelerating.
Legal Duty
Under the Housing Act 1996, councils must provide accommodation. They cannot stop buying.
