- Reduced housing affordability for private renters and aspiring homeowners
- As a result of this, the decline in the number of new homeowners in the UK and more expensive rental rates within the private rental market
- An increase in the average time spent commuting to work; as house prices and market rents are usually relatively cheaper the further you are away from urban metropolitan hubs
- With this viewpoint in mind, reduced quality of health and work-life balance due to the increased commuting time/distance
