More than 600 "affordable" homes built in
Merseyside in the last three years weren't actually affordable. Data analysed
by the Press Association's Radar service shows that Homes England, a government
body responsible for building affordable housing, has built some homes which
don't meet the guidelines needed to be classed as affordable. Liverpool had the
highest number of homes which missed the guidelines of being 80% of market value
for buyers, with 258 homes not meeting the criteria. Between 70% and 85% of the
homes built in Merseyside by Homes England between April 2015 and March 2018
did meet the guidelines. Read more on the Liverpool Echo website.
