Britain’s housing market is in a slump. More and more people trying to sell are finding that nobody is willing to pay what they’re asking for their homes.

Some find that their shared ownership flats look like bad value to buyers. Others don’t want to take a hit on what they paid when prices were climbing more quickly. And the slow progress on leasehold reform has left other sellers in limbo.

So, who’s responsible for Britain’s unsellable homes? Housing reporter Pete Apps, policy expert Rose Grayston and housing guru Charlie Lamdin give their perspectives.
