Episode 2
How the strain on Britain's housing – from new builds to social homes – reached breaking point. Key figures from government, finance and campaigning reveal the crisis the country is in.
In this second episode, key figures from government, finance and campaigning reveal the scale of the crisis Britain is in – and whose decisions led it here.
In an ugly Brexit vote, both sides try and capitalise on housing, while campaigners fear plans for a mass sell-off of social housing could be catastrophic. A succession of scandals break around new-build homes and shocking conditions in the social sector. Then, political and economic turmoil sends interest rates soaring – and now, not even the home ownership promised by politicians feels secure anymore.
