rics.org/economicsUK Property Market Chart Book 3 © RICS Economics 2015 December 2015 RICS Chief Economist Simon Rubinsohn’s view: “The good news is that housing is near the top of the governments agenda when it comes policymaking. Less welcome in my book as least is the overwhelming focus on ownership at the expense of renting, whether it is private or social/affordable. I am yet to be convinced that the former tenure is right for everyone and despite the panoply of subsidies in place to encourage it, the prospect of higher borrowing costs as 2016 progresses provides a timely warning as to the challenges first time buyers need to be mindful of. Whether the latest package of measures provides the basis for a material increase in supply remains to be seen. My best guess is that it will result in the delivery of a higher level of new housing units but not on such a scale as to fully address the affordability question.” The OBR’s revised forecasts for tax revenues gave the Chancellor some room to manouvre in his Autumn Statement (see chart on the right). This enabled him to soften the cutbacks to departmental spending in the near term while still acheiving a surplus by 2019-20. Their is a risk that the OBR’s revisions may prove a little too optimistic which would force the Chancellor to either abandon his timetable for a surplus or attempt to cut departmental spending even further. However, for the time being the revisions give George Osbourne some breathing space during what has been a difficult spell for him politically. Looking back, the two most unexpected features of the Autumn Statement were the Chancellors U-turn on controversial plans to slash tax-credits and the announcement that spending on policing would be protected. The defeat of the tax-credit bill in the House of Lords and the tragic events in Paris a few weeks ago, which brought domestic security into greater focus, will have forced the Chancellor’s hand, to some extent, on both issues. However, these announcements still gave the statement quite a generous tone. The slight easing in the pace of consolidation over the next couple of years will be partly offset by revenue from the new apprenticeship levy and by a new additional layer of stamp duty on buy-to-let and second home property purchases. However, the economy will still undergo fiscal Economic comment - Will the Chancellor’s housing policies increase supply? £¤ ¥ ¦§ ¨ £ ¨ ¤ ¨ ¥ ¤ £ ¨ ©ª ¨ ¦ ¤ £ ¨ ¦ ª ¨ « ¤ £ ¨ « ª ¨ § ¤ £ ¨ § ª ¨ ¬ ¤ £ ¨ ¬ ª ¤ £ ¤ £ ¤ £ ª ¤ ¨ ­ ®¯ ° ± ² ³ ´ µ ¶ · ¸ ¹ º ± » µ ¶ ¼ ½ ± ¾ µ ¿ À Á ² ³ µ  µ à ´ Ä ² Å µ µ ¿ ¿ µ ´ » ± ¿ ´ Æ ¼ º Á µ À º ´ Ä ¼   À ¿ À ´ ¼ » À ± º ± ¿ Æ ± ²  À º Á ¼   ± ´ À ¼ » À ± º  consolidation equivalent to around 1% of GDP next year and over the following three years. Given the assumed fiscal multiplier (pass through effect of govt. spending to GDP), this should drag around 0.5% off headline growth next year. Some of the other headline grabbers from the Chancellors statement were policies aimed at improving access to home- ownership. These included the Help to Buy (HTB) Shared Ownership scheme and the Help to Buy London scheme. OBR Revisions to UK Tax Revenue Forecast The policies will aim to increase access for first-time buyers, with the government either taking a direct equity stake in the property or providing an equity loan, interest free for 5 years. While previous HTB equity loan schemes do look to have provided the impetus to house building in recent years, they have also added to price pressures by stimulating demand and we suspect the more generous terms available on this new London specific policy will be no different. With the shared ownership scheme available for use with both new and existing properties, it has the potential to add to price pressures with less direct influence on house building. Another housing policy measure was the announcement of direct grants to home builders to provide 200k homes that will be offered to first time buyers at discounts of 20% off the market price. To what extent this adds to house building rather than crowding out existing development in an industry that is already struggling with capacity constraints can only be seen in time. Indeed, the Q3 RICS Construction Market Survey reported record high levels of skills shortages with an average of 53% of respondents citing labour shortages across all of the main trades and professions. While the housing policy measures should result in an increase in supply they are also likely to fuel further price growth and, to this effect, they are arguably only one part of the solution to the current crisis. Despite the ongoing fiscal drag, the UK economy is expected to continue to expand relatively firmly though next year with most forecasters expecting growth in the 2%-2.5% range. Recent data releases show continued steady improvement in the labour market with 177k jobs added in the three months to September. However, with the prospect of a return to price growth in line with the Bank’s 2% target still a long way off, and with global uncertainties weighing on policymakers minds, the governor of the Bank has said that he expects rates to remain low for “some time”. While we still expect the first rise to occur in May next year, it would not take much of a deterioration in the international environment to delay this. Meanwhile, in the US, policymakers will meet in Decmeber having given strong signals that the first rate hike in nearly 10 years is a significant possibility. Recent labour market data has been strong and provided the November payrolls data don’t yield any substantial adverse surprises, the Fed is likely to raise its benchmark rate by 0.25%. Meanwhile, in Europe, with inflation flatlining and only very meagre growth experienced in the second and third quarters, the ECB looks likely to add further monetary stimulus at its December meeting. Just what form the stimulus will take is uncertain but the strong signals being used by policymakers suggest that a two-pronged approach, both extending the asset purchase programme and cutting the deposit rate, is not off the table.

  • 3. rics.org/economicsUK Property Market Chart Book 3 © RICS Economics 2015 December 2015 RICS Chief Economist Simon Rubinsohn’s view: “The good news is that housing is near the top of the governments agenda when it comes policymaking. Less welcome in my book as least is the overwhelming focus on ownership at the expense of renting, whether it is private or social/affordable. I am yet to be convinced that the former tenure is right for everyone and despite the panoply of subsidies in place to encourage it, the prospect of higher borrowing costs as 2016 progresses provides a timely warning as to the challenges first time buyers need to be mindful of. Whether the latest package of measures provides the basis for a material increase in supply remains to be seen. My best guess is that it will result in the delivery of a higher level of new housing units but not on such a scale as to fully address the affordability question.” The OBR’s revised forecasts for tax revenues gave the Chancellor some room to manouvre in his Autumn Statement (see chart on the right). This enabled him to soften the cutbacks to departmental spending in the near term while still acheiving a surplus by 2019-20. Their is a risk that the OBR’s revisions may prove a little too optimistic which would force the Chancellor to either abandon his timetable for a surplus or attempt to cut departmental spending even further. However, for the time being the revisions give George Osbourne some breathing space during what has been a difficult spell for him politically. Looking back, the two most unexpected features of the Autumn Statement were the Chancellors U-turn on controversial plans to slash tax-credits and the announcement that spending on policing would be protected. The defeat of the tax-credit bill in the House of Lords and the tragic events in Paris a few weeks ago, which brought domestic security into greater focus, will have forced the Chancellor’s hand, to some extent, on both issues. However, these announcements still gave the statement quite a generous tone. The slight easing in the pace of consolidation over the next couple of years will be partly offset by revenue from the new apprenticeship levy and by a new additional layer of stamp duty on buy-to-let and second home property purchases. However, the economy will still undergo fiscal Economic comment - Will the Chancellor’s housing policies increase supply? £¤ ¥ ¦§ ¨ £ ¨ ¤ ¨ ¥ ¤ £ ¨ ©ª ¨ ¦ ¤ £ ¨ ¦ ª ¨ « ¤ £ ¨ « ª ¨ § ¤ £ ¨ § ª ¨ ¬ ¤ £ ¨ ¬ ª ¤ £ ¤ £ ¤ £ ª ¤ ¨ ­ ®¯ ° ± ² ³ ´ µ ¶ · ¸ ¹ º ± » µ ¶ ¼ ½ ± ¾ µ ¿ À Á ² ³ µ  µ à ´ Ä ² Å µ µ ¿ ¿ µ ´ » ± ¿ ´ Æ ¼ º Á µ À º ´ Ä ¼   À ¿ À ´ ¼ » À ± º ± ¿ Æ ± ²  À º Á ¼   ± ´ À ¼ » À ± º  consolidation equivalent to around 1% of GDP next year and over the following three years. Given the assumed fiscal multiplier (pass through effect of govt. spending to GDP), this should drag around 0.5% off headline growth next year. Some of the other headline grabbers from the Chancellors statement were policies aimed at improving access to home- ownership. These included the Help to Buy (HTB) Shared Ownership scheme and the Help to Buy London scheme. OBR Revisions to UK Tax Revenue Forecast The policies will aim to increase access for first-time buyers, with the government either taking a direct equity stake in the property or providing an equity loan, interest free for 5 years. While previous HTB equity loan schemes do look to have provided the impetus to house building in recent years, they have also added to price pressures by stimulating demand and we suspect the more generous terms available on this new London specific policy will be no different. With the shared ownership scheme available for use with both new and existing properties, it has the potential to add to price pressures with less direct influence on house building. Another housing policy measure was the announcement of direct grants to home builders to provide 200k homes that will be offered to first time buyers at discounts of 20% off the market price. To what extent this adds to house building rather than crowding out existing development in an industry that is already struggling with capacity constraints can only be seen in time. Indeed, the Q3 RICS Construction Market Survey reported record high levels of skills shortages with an average of 53% of respondents citing labour shortages across all of the main trades and professions. While the housing policy measures should result in an increase in supply they are also likely to fuel further price growth and, to this effect, they are arguably only one part of the solution to the current crisis. Despite the ongoing fiscal drag, the UK economy is expected to continue to expand relatively firmly though next year with most forecasters expecting growth in the 2%-2.5% range. Recent data releases show continued steady improvement in the labour market with 177k jobs added in the three months to September. However, with the prospect of a return to price growth in line with the Bank’s 2% target still a long way off, and with global uncertainties weighing on policymakers minds, the governor of the Bank has said that he expects rates to remain low for “some time”. While we still expect the first rise to occur in May next year, it would not take much of a deterioration in the international environment to delay this. Meanwhile, in the US, policymakers will meet in Decmeber having given strong signals that the first rate hike in nearly 10 years is a significant possibility. Recent labour market data has been strong and provided the November payrolls data don’t yield any substantial adverse surprises, the Fed is likely to raise its benchmark rate by 0.25%. Meanwhile, in Europe, with inflation flatlining and only very meagre growth experienced in the second and third quarters, the ECB looks likely to add further monetary stimulus at its December meeting. Just what form the stimulus will take is uncertain but the strong signals being used by policymakers suggest that a two-pronged approach, both extending the asset purchase programme and cutting the deposit rate, is not off the table.
