Labour’s conference has put housing firmly in the spotlight, sending encouraging signs for the property market. With a strong focus on affordable homes, renters’ rights and planning reform, the party highlighted its commitment to a vibrant and accessible housing sector.
Senior figures, including Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook, city leaders and key MPs, outlined plans to build 1.5 million homes, improve tenant protections and support innovative housing solutions. The Labour Housing Group’s ‘Housing Zone’ brought together experts over three days to discuss everything from ending homelessness and enhancing social housing to boosting skills in construction and supporting SMEs in delivery. Sessions also explored rural housing, safe homes for domestic abuse survivors and renters’ rights.
For sellers, the conference’s focus on housing supply and strong policy measures offers reassurance. Increased homebuilding and planning reforms are likely to stimulate activity in the market, while protections for tenants and investment in communities create a more balanced and sustainable environment for property transactions.
