Watch: Londoners think the city's housing crisis is spiralling 'out of control'
One person said: “I think housing in London is desperate and terrible”
London's biggest housing associations are sounding the alarm over a sharp fall in the number of new affordable homes being built.
The G15 group says there's been a 66% drop in new housing over the past two years, a decline they're calling deeply concerning.
In their latest report, the G15 urged swift action, warning that the capital is facing a worsening housing crisis.
According to their figures, just 4,700 new homes were started in 24 to 25, compared to under 14,000 two years earlier.
The trend continued this year with a 7% drop in new builds that started in January and March, compared to the same period in 2023. The group also pointed out that completions are down, too.
9,200 homes were handed over in 24 to 25, down from over 10,000 the year before. But what do Londoners think of the housing situation in the capital, especially when it comes to affordable homes?
