Tom Harwood questions how much money could be raised through land value capture around a new HS2 station in Manchester, Manchester Airport, and Crewe.
He suggests this approach may be a more credible method for funding an east west crossrail-type line with many stations, rather than an extension of HS2.
Harwood has previously commented on rising pressures in the housing market, arguing that a scarcity of luxury properties in South London has pushed investment bankers into former working-class homes. In another note earlier this year, he questioned the significance of the UK economic growth upgrade after a prior downgrade. His recent remarks on land value capture add to his ongoing coverage of fiscal and property issues.
