Four in Ten homes built over the past ten years have been taking by immigrants. Between 1992 and 1997 the average was 19,000 immigrant households a year, the figure is now 66,000 a year, This is the reason many British First-Time buyers can't get on the Housing market. Between 1997 and 2005, 592,000 houses were needed solely for immigrants. With more Eastern Europeans pouring in, this total is certain to climb. Gordon Brown wants to build 3 Million homes by 2020 and is to raise the annual target from 200,000 to 240,000 by 2016, But with the current levels of immigration, 1.2 Million or 40% of the new homes will be needed to house immigrants. They only way to solve the housing problem is to build the houses as planned and keep the immigrants out.
