🏚️ Britain’s Housing Crisis: Built by Them. Paid for by Us.

Reform UK’s plan to stop the madness and start putting British families first
Trying to get on the housing ladder in this country feels like playing Monopoly with a broken board — and Westminster keeps stealing from the bank.
Prices are obscene. Rents are wild. First-time buyers are stuffed.
And yet they keep repeating the same old line: “Just build more homes.”
Right — while importing half a million people a year.
It’s not a housing shortage. It’s a political overdose.
📉 Here’s the Reality
– The average house price is nearly £280,000
– Mortgage rates have soared — many locked in over 6%
– Rents are now pushing £1,200+ nationally (and that's if you're lucky)
– Over a million households are sitting on council waiting lists
– Hotels are full of illegal arrivals, not homeless Brits
– New builds? Snapped up by developers, priced for landlords, not families
– Local GPs, schools, and roads? Can’t keep up with the bodies
But no one in power will say the obvious:
We can’t keep building homes while importing a city’s worth of people every year.
🛠️ Reform UK’s Plan: Housing That Works for Us
We’re not playing SimCity. We’re fixing a system that’s collapsing under its own lies.
Here’s how we do it:
– Slash net migration to sustainable levels — because demand matters
– End hotel handouts for illegal migrants
– Prioritise British families for council housing — by law
– Reform planning to speed up builds where infrastructure exists
– Protect greenbelt and local character — no more soulless mega-developments
– Crack down on developers pricing out locals and flipping to overseas investors
– Help first-time buyers with real tax cuts, not press releases
We don’t need more rabbit hutches on flood plains.
We need actual homes people can live in — and afford.
🏡 Social Housing Should Be For... the Public
Let’s get one thing straight:
If you’ve lived, worked, and paid into this country — you should be at the front of the queue.
Not the back. Not behind people who arrived last week.
Not behind someone who crossed the Channel in a dinghy and got a free hotel room.
You paid in. You should get out. End of.
📢 Bottom Line?
You can't solve a housing crisis by throwing bricks at it and hoping it sticks.
Reform UK gets it. We're not here to tinker — we're here to:
– Tackle immigration-driven demand
– Prioritise the people who’ve built this country
– Actually make home ownership possible again
Because you shouldn’t have to win the postcode lottery just to rent a flat in your hometown.
And your kids shouldn’t have to leave the country to afford a future in it.
