HOUSING CRISIS,AFFORDABILITY,SCOTLAND

A survey reveals that one in four Scots cannot afford their preferred home due to high rents and mortgages. Labour's housing spokesman, Mark Griffin, criticizes the SNP government for the 'devastating housing emergency' and calls for action to address the crisis. The Scottish Household Survey highlights a significant rise in those struggling to raise a deposit for a house and obtain mortgages. The Scottish Government maintains a strong track record in affordable housing.

Scots are being “priced out” of the housing market after one in four said they cannot afford to move to their preferred home. A survey showed a sharp rise in the proportion of people unable to move to their home of choice due to high rents and mortgages.

The statistics come after the Scottish Government and at least a dozen councils declared a housing emergency. Homelessness levels are on the rise and rent and house prices are moving faster than wage rises. Humza Yousaf’s Government was blasted last year for cutting the affordable housing budget by around £200m. His successor John Swinney reversed the cut in his Government’s draft Budget last month.
