Short Paper

In October 2024, the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, pledged to, “ ..get Britain building” (King’s Speech), starting with 1.5m new homes across the country within five years. The Government has also shown interest in understanding how institutional investment can play a larger role in stimulating housing supply.  

In November 2024, the IPF invited many of the leading participants in the UK institutional residential sector to a roundtable discussion to debate how a faster pace of investment in the residential sector could be achieved. This paper outlines the key areas of discussion during that session and also provides the basis for the IPF webinar 'unlocking institutional investment to power UK housing growth' held on 23 April 2025.
