In response to the UK's escalating housing crisis, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is proposing a 99% mortgage scheme aimed at assisting first-time buyers, as reported by the Telegraph. This initiative, being prepared ahead of the Budget, has sparked a debate over its potential to exacerbate the housing crisis by subsidizing overpriced property purchases. Critics argue that the plan could lead to financial instability for homeowners and further strain on the housing market. Additionally, the issue of mass migration is highlighted as a significant factor worsening the housing crisis, with many private tenants now spending 40% of their disposable income on rent, according to a former minister. Property expert Russell Quirk and analyst Matt Goodwin have emphasized the negative impact of mass migration on the housing situation.
