It is my opinion that much of the price rise can be traced to Maggie Thatcher and her cronies forcing local councils to sell off their housing stock and not permitting them to build replacements. This combined with powerful lobbies of people owning houses who wanted to see the prices go up all the time by limiting construction through planning laws ended up squeezing anyone who wants to get onto the housing ladder.
