50,000 Homes Annually, Scaling to 60,000+
50,000 homes/year, scaling to 60,000+. State construction company via LDA. Phase out Help to Buy.
Labour's housing plan centres on transforming the Land Development Agency into a state construction company — the most structurally ambitious proposal after the Social Democrats.
Policy Summary
Key commitments
- Build 50,000 new homes annually, scaling to 60,000+ from 2027
- Transform Land Development Agency into State construction company
- Phase out Help to Buy by 2029; replace with Save to Buy scheme
What's missing
No specific rent freeze commitment. No modular home factory. No specific affordable purchase price targets.
