I remember years ago looking to buy off-plan, I put a small deposit down and waited for it to be built. It was finally finished about 3 months late just before Christmas and I had not arranged a valuation, the developer wanted completion straight away which wasn't possible (I should have arranged valuation off-plan). They then wanted to charge me a time penalty which my solicitor refused without asking me. The bottom line is they sold the house to someone else for a higher price (obviously prices were increasing at the time). I am sure I could have sued someone at the time but never bothered.

Erm... yeah. Or a terrace. Or a semi-detached. Or a flat that wasn't new build. Or basically something that wasn't off-plan from a developer.

Or am I missing something?

Yes.

There are many, mostly thanking what you are saying, who keep saying the lack of homes will push prices up.

BUT, when people buy flats because of the lack of homes, they ridicule them for doing so and say "their fault for buying them".

What exactly were these people supposed to do? Flats were available due to more being built with the whoel "affordable homes" push, and restricted space and were costing less in a major boom time than harder to get due to supply, harder to finance due to crazy prices homes.

I know this isnt my area, but an example of my area is flats were the only places second home buyers and BTL andlords were not pushing young people out of. They did not want them, but now they ridicule people for buying flats.
