Government To Combine Building Funds

The government is preparing to launch a £3bn loan fund for housebuilding which will roll up existing schemes into a single pot. The government is close to announcing its Home Building Fund, which was trailed in the Queen’s Speech. House builders have been briefed in recent weeks by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) that existing funds will be combined to form one pot. An announcement will take place after the 23 June EU referendum, due to pre-vote ‘purdah’ rules limiting government announcements. The government will remove many of the restrictions and limitations on who can bid and what sort of scheme is eligible for funding.  Read more on Inside Housing.
