The Bunker – News without the nonsense

Hammer homes: Would a house price crash be a good thing?

Listen Later

Buying a house in the UK is almost impossible for many people. But house prices could fall by 10 per cent over the next 2 years. Is that a good thing? Peter Apps is the deputy editor of Inside Housing magazine, he joins Hannah Fearn in The Bunker.


  • “There’s so much demand in the UK and there’s such a shortage of houses.” – Peter Apps.
  • “It’s very difficult to predict where we’re going to be for the next couple of years.” – Peter Apps.
  • “If people start losing money on Help to Buy deals, the government immediately starts to take notice. Private renters are basically on their own.” – Peter Apps
  • “Private landlords aren’t asking themselves difficult questions about what people can actually afford.” – Peter Apps.
