Some supermarkets such as Plus in Germany sell houses like this one:

I think sooner or later Tesco's and Sainsbury's do the same...especially after Ikea has started with that.

What do you think?

I think eventually town centres will just consist of big supermarkets that sell everything under one roof. All other shops will just be forced into city centres if it carries on this way.

hahaha, i just got images of tesco value houses and sainsburys taste the difference houses

Yes, land is the main problem in the UK...but not land...there is plenty of land...it is the planning officers and the fact they have friends and relatives that work as builders.....

A land without a planning permission is maybe 5000 pounds....with one it is 100,000 pounds.......

I don't think I am the only one thinking about bribing a planing officer with 50,000 pounds

The problem is there is no transparency in the planning process...it is a like a big mafia organization as they are a lot of laws and regulations missing.

In other countries you get planning permissions without any problems unless it is a protected area...towns and villages even advertise the land as they WANT people to build and move there so they get more money by the local taxes and as it drives the economy.

All planning officers need to be sent to jail and all building companies.....then house prices would reach a normal level again and nobody would live in a dilapidated house "worth " 200,000 pounds if you can get a better and new one for 50k.
