Sewage issues in Secmaton Lane covered by BBC spotlight on lunchtime news today. May do same coverage again on early eveing news?
I’ve just been reading an article in a housing magazine which says that housing associations could exempt hundreds of thousands of homes from Right to Buy. Last week, 5 housing associations launched a RtB pilot scheme. Apparently the landlords (ie housing associations) are free to decide which properties to exempt from RtB and those included in this exemption will include homes built under a ...

So, 'call me Dave' was in Paris discussing climate change, reduction in the use of fossil fuels etc etc. Feel I am missing something here For if he is so concerned about climate change why hasn't he then ensured that in any new planning legislation that as well as prioritising house building, the legislation also ensures that grade 1 agricultural land is protected and that the ...
So, we could have a hike in council tax to pay for social care. (see below for what George Osborne said about this in his Autumn Statement).

So.......we could have an increase in house prices (caused by BtL landlords purchasing before April 2016 deadline.) This would increase costs for those others, non BtL landlords, wishing to buy a home. And we could have an increase in market rents caused by BtL landlords passing on the extra stamp duty costs they will incur after the April 2016 deadline to their tenants. This will increase ...

Another 135,000 new homes will be the brand new Help to Buy: Shared Ownership. Many of the restrictions on shared ownership – who can buy them, who can build them and who they can ...
In his spending review speech on Weds, George Osborne said that unused commercial land would be used for Starter Homes. Does commercial land mean land designated for employment? 'Cos if so I'd just like to point out that Dawlish hasn't got all that good a track record for having its designated employment land being used for er........employment.
