Britain's housing crisis has reached catastrophic levels, leaving millions trapped in unaffordable rents, precarious living conditions, or locked out of homeownership entirely. In The UK's Housing Catastrophe, Tony Murrell exposes the policies and market forces that have shaped this crisis, from the devastating impact of Right to Buy to the unchecked power of corporate landlords and speculative investors. He unravels the myths of 'affordable housing' and government schemes that have only driven prices higher, deepening inequality and worsening homelessness.

With incisive analysis and urgent clarity, Murrell not only traces how decades of political inaction have allowed this crisis to fester but also lays out a bold, practical vision for reform. Advocating for stronger tenant rights, large-scale social housing investment, and radical planning law changes, he presents a compelling case for treating housing as a human right rather than a commodity. Essential reading for policymakers, activists, and anyone affected by the UK's broken housing system, this book is a call to action-demanding solutions before the crisis spirals beyond repair.
