Aldermore's Roadmap to 1.5 Million Homes

The Government’s ambition to build 1.5 million homes is necessary, but it's not without its challenges.

Current projections suggest delivery may fall short, with estimates indicating the UK is on track for just 1.3 million homes based on existing planning reforms, assuming everything goes to plan. 

At Aldermore, we’re committed to helping make this ambition a reality. Our five-step roadmap offers clear, practical solutions designed to remove barriers, accelerate delivery, and unlock the homes Britain urgently needs.

 

Aldermore’s five step highlights

Planning reform: the planning system is the single biggest barrier to new housing. Our roadmap outlines how smarter, faster planning can help development across the UK to reach the Government's 1.5 million new homes target.

Land Pricing: sky-high land prices are locking out smaller builders out of the market. Could a targeted land tax on unused sites be the key to discouraging land banking and unlocking supply?

Skills & labour: without a skilled workforce, homes simply won’t get built. We explore practical ways to boost training, retraining, and recruitment in the sector.

Modern methods of construction (MMC): scaling up modular construction could cut build times in half and reduce labour needs by 50%, a game-changing step toward faster, smarter housebuilding.

Increasing demand certainty: developers need certainty to build. Our plan includes policy tools to reduce market risk, new build incentives, support SMEs, and encourage long-term investment.
