Locals priced out of Cornwall's housing market

The video discusses the housing market in Cornwall, highlighting the significant increase in demand for properties, both for sale and rent. The demand has surged due to various factors, including the pandemic, lifestyle changes, and the extension of the stamp duty holiday. This has led to a shortage of available properties, making it difficult for locals to secure homes. The influx of buyers from outside Cornwall, particularly those seeking second homes, exacerbates the issue. Statistical data shows a dramatic rise in property searches, with Cornwall surpassing London as a top location. The video emphasizes the challenges faced by local buyers and the broader implications of the housing boom.
