We need to build 100,000 affordable new homes in next two years, government told. - newly formed 2020 Group says.

The fundamental shift triggered by the housing crash means that the market will never be the same again. Now is the perfect time to pursue a new, build-to-let model to encourage funding from institutions such as pension funds to develop professional rented housing. Liz Peace, chief executive of the British Property Federation (representing property owners and investors).

With bank interest rates at an all-time low Knight Frank’s residential development team is reporting a renewed interest in the buy-to-let sector.

As a result of recent events and trends, we have thought through the affordable housing market and have developed a business model, which can deliver a significant number of homes in the Midlands and deliver an acceptable balance of risk and return to all funding partners.
