over a well publicised cuppa, mrs thatcher defended the council sales policy...tcher expected that would be her legacy when she gave tenants the right to buy their council homes in the 80s, but the current conservative prime minister faced a different challenge. with house prices soaring in some parts of britain, home ownership remains just a dream for many families. so new policies are being constructed to help those who have to rent. first of all, we just need to build more homes for rent, because that will bring the price down, over time. and, secondly, we need to try and change the way the market works, bring in some new people that will offer longer tenancies, that give people more security in their home. and, thirdly, we need to end some of the up front costs people pay, by taking action against letting agents' fees. home ownership in england has declined from its peak in 2003. seven out of ten households owned their own home then. it's fewer than two thirds now. at the same time, the number of households in private rented accommodation has almost doubled.

i remember footage of mrs thatcher having a cup of tea in the first —— with the first council house ownersphilosophicalshift, but she state, said this is a massive philosophical shift, but she has got to build 250,000 new houses a year to build 250,000 new houses a year to meet the target. bringing down re nt to meet the target. bringing down rent isa to meet the target. bringing down rent is a good thing which will affect lots of people. the underlying problem of homeownership is the numberof underlying problem of homeownership is the number of people owning homes has fallen dramatically since 2010, 380 2000 fewer couples with children i'iow 380 2000 fewer couples with children now own their own home and that, when we are trying to build a home owning democracy, is important. when we are trying to build a home owning democracy, is importantm other european countries, home only is not such a big deal, people take for granted the fact they will maybe read all their lives. in germany it is given that you will do that. we have this old—fashioned phrase that an englishman's home is his castle
