Land and property development - for more information contact me direct - I write my thoughts - Not always right sometimes best taken with a pinch of salt.

The Tories have two choices - build more houses or face electoral disaster https://t.co/zFgIYDWLY9 via @CapX

#CPRE State of the #greenbelt report claims there are currently 460,000 #newhomes being #ukplanning on land that will soon be released from the green belt. - "the entire CPRE report is a load of smelly old bollocks" https://t.co/FPQR3MI5gh

@JohnHealey_MP Wondering how many more we would have had if housing wasn’t a priority!!

Hits nail on head on why #UKGovernment won't take the brakes off #UKPlanning though root cause #NIMBY being design! When build'g 300,000 houses year I don't think anyone would argue that it was universally applauded for its design! #generationrent https://t.co/SWZz2K3lgg

Happy #IWD2018 While much has changed in recent years, women still represent only 15% of the property and construction industry workforce. @WiPUK are working with businesses and other industry organisations to help redress this balance https://t.co/fmCQBl1tYo

When people who stand to make money from a broken system start to criticise it - it is long past vinegar and brown paper #generationrent #ukrent #ukhousing #housingcrisis #ukaffordablehousing #ukhomeowners #housingmarket

One or two unintended consequences with this?
“Construction firms that have been slow to build new homes could be refused planning permission in future under a shake-up unveiled by Theresa May
PM will tell developers to step up and do their bit"

@Gerraint Its time everyone woke up to the damage Help to Buy is doing to the market - TW boss Peter Redfern has been warning about it since 2014!

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Happy #StDavidsDay. Under the next Labour government it will be a UK-wide bank holiday.

Great Portland Estates has redeemed £121m of legacy bonds and agreed to issue £100m new US private placement notes in a move that significantly cuts its cost of debt.

[Simon Jenkins @BeaupreCastle]

@Gerraint Question; Why could they not spend the money?

[Gerraint™ Oakley @Gerraint]

“Housing Department diverts 'no longer needed' funding for affordable housing to Help to Buy programme
Ministers accused of 'selling families short by surrendering much-needed cash for new homes' after revelation £817m is being handed back to the Treasury”
