Awww the poor shit box building developers are upset they can’t build their shit box houses on their shithole estates into little flammable death traps so daddy can get his sixth luxury car and a yacht.

The government should have their own housing construction company that can benefit from low interest rates and economies of scale.
Usually I’d favour the free market but we need to get a lot of high quality housing built as soon as possible.

I say let them fail and recruit their staff to manage building public housing instead. Private enterprise has failed dramatically here, there’s no shame in relieving the market of its burdens.

> Property developers told Sky News that new building and fire safety regulations add costs of around £21,500 per home for a two-bedroom flat in London, while community infrastructure levies add £12,000 on average and can be as high as £50,000 in some areas. New costs – a 4% residential development tax and a building safety levy costing between £1,500 and £3,500 per home – are expected to be added in the near future.
So the problem is they are being expected to build safe quality homes and contribute to the infrastructure that facilitates the success of their development. It’s almost as if their business model is throwing up half-arsed death traps then running away with the profits leaving an empty shell company to face the therefore non-existent consequences.

Well, now I’m worried about jaws of death in new housing developments too. Why do they even install the jaws of death in the first place? Seems like a major health and safety issue.

There’s a few new build estates around me, to me it appears that construction companies seem to want to build mostly executive houses, with some token affordable houses on the estate, unfortunately most of the people who are wanting to buy local to me have the affordable housing budget. I understand that the profit margin on an ‘executive’ house is higher than the profit margin on an affordable house but I can’t help but think they would sell more if they built more of the cheaper houses!

„But the private housebuilders who are expected to contribute most of the new homes say…“ more bullshit to try and get restrictions on their still astronomical profits removed.

Anyone who believed Labour could get all these new homes built, was a fool
