So the Conservatives have won a comfortable majority – but what have they promised on housing?

The Conservative manifesto makes the below housing-related pledges:

• To build at least a million homes over the next five years
• Extend the housing association Right to Buy pilot currently being run in the Midlands to other areas in the country
• Renew the Affordable Homes Programme in the Spring Statement
• Introduce ‘First Homes’, which will be sold at a 30% discount to first-time buyers – apparently modelled on David Cameron’s Starter Homes pledge from 2015
• Continue the roll-out of Universal Credit, but “do more to make sure that it works for the most vulnerable”
• Ensure infrastructure, such as GPs and schools, is provided before new housing is built
• Give local communities the power to write design standards
• Continue the commitment to Theresa May’s promise to end no-fault evictions
• A new market for ‘lifetime’ fixed-rate mortgages, which will come with 5% deposits
• ‘Lifetime’ deposits for the private rented sector, allowing renters to move the same deposit to a new tenancy when moving home
• A Social Housing White Paper, which was originally due in spring this year
• To simplify shared ownership by setting a single standard for all housing associations
• An “accelerated” green paper on planning, aimed at speeding up the planning process
• Reforming the Housing Infrastructure Fund to provide greater flexibility to Homes England
