Hey guys,

I just read an interesting news story that really caught my attention.

Cornwall Council has announced plans to build up to 8,000 new homes on council-owned land, with a big focus on affordable housing and secure rental homes for local people. They're also putting measures in place to stop these homes becoming second homes or holiday lets.

When I read this, it reinforced something we've been talking about for years...

The UK still has a housing supply problem.

Councils are under pressure to deliver more homes, demand continues to grow, and now we're seeing local authorities looking at more innovative ways to unlock land and work with developers and housing associations.

For us as property investors, this isn't just another news headline.

It's a reminder that understanding planning, regeneration, development opportunities, and where housing demand is heading can put you ahead of the curve.

The property market is constantly evolving, and the investors who stay informed are usually the ones who spot opportunities before everyone else.

I'd love to know what you think...

Do you think more councils should be using publicly owned land to help solve the housing shortage?

Drop your thoughts below...I'd love to hear your perspective.
