A report delivered by the RICS Commission for housing has called for several key reforms aimed at a longterm and sustainable boost to house building.
The report suggests that the coalition are making temporary improvements to the housing problem but criticises short term thinking by successive Governments.
The original target to build 100,000 new homes on publicly owned land must be doubled, the report suggested.
The Commission wants to see the creation of an independent committee to advise politicians from all parties on housing supply, and a new body bringing together private-sector and academic research on housing.
The report said: “Governments must increase the scale of their ambitions to match the scale of the challenges. There has been a near disappearance of government-funded research on housing since 2010."
