The England must build a million new homes by 2017 to meet growing demand and there is enough brownfield land to accommodate them, according to a study by conveyancing search provider Search Acumen using Office of National Statistics data. Search Acumen has compared those pledges of 300,000 and 200,000 completed new homes each year over a five year period respectively, to its findings. "We need to embark on the greatest housing boom this country has seen in the mid-2000s ," said Andrew Lloyd , managing director of Search Acumen using Office of National Statistics . Demand first began to outstrip supply in the mid-2000s , but neither the Conservatives ' nor Labour 's 2017 election pledges to build more homes would have made up the million shortfall.
