Narrative Account

Returning to the idea of housing access/affordability as a wicked problem, this chapter explores 6 critical explanations of the housing cost crisis, showing how these explanations intersect to produce a broader narrative account of the political economy of housing outcomes. The chapter looks at impediments to increasing housing supply, the role of direct (overseas) investors in the London housing market, reliance on volume housebuilding (the lack of plurality in the UK model of housing production), the associated reliance on ‘build to sell’ (and the lack of space for alternative models), the impact that the tax treatment of housing has on consumption and housing supply, and the role that credit supply has on house prices and housing costs.

The Relationship

The objective in this paper is to compare the competitive strategies of the housebuilding industry in the United Kingdom, France, and Sweden. It is focused on the relationship between the different mechanisms by which the housing market is regulated and the competitive methods adopted by firms in each country. By using a detailed study of over 100 firms in the three countries, it is argued that there is a relationship between the forms of market regulation, the level of uncertainty and risk faced by housebuilders, and their profit-making strategies. Finally, some of the implications of the findings for the UK housebuilding industry in the 1990s are considered.
