Tackling the housing crisis
The latest research from the National Housing Federation shows
the South West to be the most unaffordable place to buy a home in
the UK. It is the only region with above average house prices, but
below average incomes. Over the last five years, the explosion of
housing need has led to the number of households on affordable
waiting lists growing by nearly 50 per cent – affordable home
building is running at less than half the level required to match
this need.
Somer is one of the Homes & Communities Agency's
investment partners delivering a programme of new affordable homes
across the South West.
