The price of new homes will keep going up due to a shortage of skilled construction labourers, the chief executive of housebuilder Vistry has warned.
George Fitzgerald said that he was struggling to find enough bricklayers and plasterers.
As a result he predicted that house prices were “only going to go one way, because we are just not going to be able to meet demand”.
He added that keeping up with demand was “bloody hard work”.
