British Home Group

I'm William Gale, founder of British Home Group.

Since 2013, my businesses British Homebuyers and British Homesellers have helped facilitate over 14,000 property transactions worth more than £5 billion.

I started these businesses because I believed parts of the UK property market were broken and homeowners deserved better options. More than a decade later, I'm still focused on improving that.

But this channel isn't about selling houses.

It's about understanding what's really happening to Britain's housing market.

I share data-driven analysis of house prices, affordability, homeownership, government policy and the wider economy to help explain why the market behaves the way it does.

My goal is simple: to help more people understand the realities of UK property, encourage informed debate, and contribute to the conversation about how we create a housing market that works better for future generations.

Because meaningful change starts with understanding the problem

Since 1979:

• UK population: roughly +21%
• House prices: roughly +1,300%
• Mortgage debt: roughly +3,700%

That did not happen because of one decision.

My new video examines four policy changes that collectively reshaped Britain’s housing market — from Right to Buy and council housebuilding to mortgage deregulation and global capital.

Was Britain’s housing crisis created by accident?

Every month the media tells us something different...

📈 House prices are booming.

📉 House prices are crashing.

So I ignored the headlines...

...and analysed the latest Propertymark Housing Insight Report.

Three things immediately stood out.

Britain's housing crisis didn't appear overnight.

It was shaped by decades of policy decisions.

In my latest video I explore four of the biggest—and ask whether Andy Burnham can reverse them.

📉 House prices crashing.

So I decided to ignore the headlines...

...and read the actual housing market reports.

Three statistics completely changed my view.

Imagine if changing jobs triggered a £15,000 tax.

We'd all agree that would be ridiculous.

Yet moving house often does exactly that.

My latest video looks at why many economists believe Stamp Duty is one of Britain's most damaging taxes and whether a Land Value Tax is actually the answer.
