RICS in Midlands responds to Chancellor’s Autumn Statement RESPONDING to the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, Jeremy Blackburn, Head of Policy, RICS said: “A push towards affoWWrdable home ownership should not come at the expense of affordable homes for rent. If cities such as London are to thrive, we need to ensure that housing can be provided for all of its workforce - home ownership can only go so far and even shared ownership may prove too expensive for some. The Chancellor was shortsighted not to incentivise affordable homes for rent. “George Osborne is essentially subsidising one sector of the housing market over all others, home buyers already benefit from significant Government funding. Many people struggle to afford to own their own homes and a large majority rely on the available supply of affordable rents. The Chancellor may feel that he is supporting the under-privileged by pushing up buy-to-let Stamp Duty, but we would argue that such an inflationary measure will discourage small landlords and reduce the rental supply – prices will inevitably rise. “In order to maintain our position on the world economic stage, Britain needs a first-class infrastructure system. The Chancellor has quite rightly made infrastructure a strategic priority, announcing a £61bn spend on transport alone this Parliament. He has set up set up an independent commission to revamp the national infrastructure pipeline and plan. This should ensure the new money is prioritised. “But there is a much bigger problem which, will have major repercussions for the UK’s current and future infrastructure plans. Our data shows that tender prices for infrastructure projects are expected to rise by around 30% over the next five years. In addition, we don’t have the investment needed to cover the existing £400bn infrastructure funding gap. British infrastructure is undoubtedly facing a funding crisis. While money announced today, will help, we need to go much further. “The Chancellor argued that ‘We Are the Builders’. However, the construction skills shortage is now at the highest levels seen in the past 20 years. During the recession an estimated 400,000 people left construction – one of the highest rates of redundancy across any sector, but worse is yet to come as we are expecting a ‘knowledge cliff ’ when those left in the workforce eventually retire. There are serious questions around how we continue to build to meet the 400,000 new houses announced today with the infrastructure that will get Britain moving.”
