Just 5 per cent of homes to be built with government
money will be the most affordable type of housing despite the prime minister’s
pledge to build a “new generation of social homes“, ministers have admitted.

affordable homes budget by 2022 will be social homes – equivalent to 2,500 per

can be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds or rented out at up to 80 per
cent of full market value. Read more on the Independent website.
