Starter Homes totally depend on council-contractor collaboration

摘要

The government's Starter Homes announcement represents a small but significant departure from previous schemes. This is because it places a greater onus on local authorities to achieve the target of delivering 200,000 homes by 2020, which will be sold with a discount of at least 20 per cent to first-time buyers aged 23-40. Nevertheless, while 30 local authority partnerships will spearhead the proposed scheme, their collaboration with responsible and knowledgeable contracting and development teams will be integral.
