Only one in five people believe that there are enough affordable homes after the steep rise in house prices during the pandemic.
Two-thirds of Britons surveyed for a Lloyds Banking Group report said that the housing market was not providing quality accommodation at a low enough price.
Some 57% of young people who do not own their home are optimistic about getting on the property ladder, yet 64% cited affordability as a top concern, with lack of social housing a worry for 47% of respondents.
