More Than 600 'Affordable Homes' Built In Merseyside Were NOT Affordable


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.
