House prices have risen faster than earnings, and the share of households owning a home with a mortgage has dropped from 39% to 28% in the North West. Supporting this, the number of private renters has more than doubled.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cA real opportunity\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Neil Jefferson, chief executive of the Home Builders Federation, said: \u201cThere is a real opportunity for the next Mayor of Greater Manchester to accelerate housing delivery and show how strong devolved leadership can help tackle the housing crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith greater powers over planning, transport and skills, the incoming mayor can create the conditions that allow more homes to be built in the right places, support local jobs and investment, and make home ownership more achievable for thousands of people across the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur manifesto sets out practical, deliverable interventions that would help Greater Manchester meet its housing ambitions and provide a blueprint for other Combined Authorities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreased taxes and policy costs, alongside suppressed demand due to a lack of affordable mortgage lending and no government support for buyers, are preventing builders from increasing housing supply and putting the government\u2019s housing ambitions increasingly out of reach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbf.co.uk\/research-insight\/2026-mayor-manifesto-manchester\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the manifesto here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Home Builders Federation manifesto says the new mayor will need to address the Manchester housing crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":164100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[908,173241,572,17747],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-164099","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-economy","9":"tag-hbf","10":"tag-housebuilding","11":"tag-manchester"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New mayor needs to address Manchester housing crisis, say HBF<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The new Home Builders Federation manifesto says the new mayor will need to address the Manchester housing crisis\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/new-mayor-needs-to-address-manchester-housing-crisis-say-hbf\/164099\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New mayor needs to address Manchester housing crisis, say HBF\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The new Home Builders Federation (HBF) manifesto says the new mayor will need to address the Manchester housing crisis\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/new-mayor-needs-to-address-manchester-housing-crisis-say-hbf\/164099\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
