The UK government recently published it’s Levelling Up White Paper which sets out its 12 ‘missions’ to level up the UK by 2030.
The White Paper references the government’s commitment to reduce the number of non-decent rented homes, encourage first-time buyers and prioritise affordable social housing.
There is a focus on transforming brownfield sites in the Midlands and the North, devising a plan to abolish ‘no fault’ evictions, and creating a Decent Homes Standard to help tenants living in unacceptable conditions. It also discusses the possible introduction of a landlord register that will help to regulate the sector and give tenants peace of mind.
The RICS have responded with strong support of the White Piper’s focus on regeneration and boosting pride in place as well.
According to its latest news report on the matter, RICS believes that ‘the levelling-up agenda must now be underpinned by a reformed planning system that offers greater certainty, provides for sufficient local accountability and allows for the timely delivery of vital social infrastructure.’
Although it is firmly behind the measures that have been indicated, the RICS says there needs to be further clarity on the government’s intentions. In particular, the government needs to detail how policies related to commercial landlords will work with the government wanting landlords of empty shops and not leave them vacant for long periods.
RICS is keen to help assist the government in any areas that affect the built environment and will provide insight where possible.
With the governments 12 ‘missions’ including a substantial investment into the housing market, there will be a significant increase in the need for property industry professionals to take steps to help it level up.
