Looking forward to attending this ⁦Grant Thornton UK⁩ ⁦Pinsent Masons⁩ event today #homesforthefuture

Looking forward to the Grant Thornton/Pinsent Mason Housing Conference today #HomesForTheFuture

The squeeze on #localgov finances has led to councils looking to invest in housing vehicles to create a revenue stream, says IJT this has led to competition, and traditional funders reshaping their offerings #HomesForTheFuture

According to our keynote speaker James Murray increasing the no of affordable homes is not an optional extra. Asks of gov: greater control of #SocialHousing budgets, flexibility on #righttobuy receipts for councils, capacity to intervene in the land market #HomesForTheFuture

#SirEdLister clarifies for #HomesForTheFuture that Homes England 'stops at the M25'. There are lots of different things happening in different housing markets.

Sir Edward Lister, Chairman of Homes England: "We intervene in the market where we can make a difference, where we are a disruptor and are looking at new ways to bring forward housing development" #homesforthefuture
