Price Elasticity of Supply (PES) for UK housing is highly inelastic, meaning new builds respond poorly to price rises. Key constraints include stringent planning regulations, scarcity of developable land, and chronic skilled labor shortages. Consequently, rising demand triggers significant price inflation rather than a substantial increase in housing stock.
