RE: How can house builders do well?27 Nov 2025 12:57
Hi Jack,
I myself had big plans to Extend & redesign my house to Passive House standards, just after Lockdown..
Although I ditched it quite quickly as realized that everything had Doubled in Price, materials and for labour. Yes it’s a little more specialist that a typical extension, but the costs for the project were unmanageable
With far fewer people in the country, house prices and rents will naturally come down, that’s the real way for the cost of living for the working people to be managed.. House price inflation / increases over the past 20 odd years, are a burden to our economy and our people.
No wonder OAP’s are having issue’s with Mansion Taxes, bought an average home 20 – 40 years ago, now property Millionaires.
