February 26, 2019
Crazy headline eh? We need more housing in the UK, affordable most certainly, and here we sit with what is reported as 7,193 homes on the market – London housing association Notting Hill Genesis has 400 unsold homes sitting empty alone!

“Unsold shared ownership homes rose to 5,438, while unsold homes for outright market sale rose to 1,755.” Inside Housing.
