Unexploded land mine

Article Abstract:

Housebuilders are calling on the government to introduce incentives in order to address the problems which are developing due to stagnant house prices and high value of land. A recent BBC documentary forecast that house prices would continue to fall in real terms over the next 20 years. The housing market has recently been affected by reduced tax relief on mortgage interest, rising interest rates, and possible elimination of income support for mortgage payments for the unemployed.
