The Strategic Importance of the Property Sector in Cornwall

The property sector plays a central and indispensable role in Cornwall’s economy and long-term sustainability. With a mix of coastal communities, rural areas, seasonal employment and a reliance on tourism, Cornwall’s housing market faces significant pressures that have been exasperated even more since the pandemic. The private rented sector is not merely a commercial activity; it is a critical component of local infrastructure due to the fact that Cornwall locals have been priced out of the housing market, and are therefore reliant on renting property.
