REDUCTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSE PRICES

 

 
Question: Councillor K. Dennison
 
“To ask the Manager if he will reduce the current asking price for affordable houses given that market prices have fallen by 40% from peak?”

“Affordable properties prices have been based on the cost of the provision of that property resulting in prices being up to 55% below the market value during the boom period. The vast majority of properties for sale currently are 20% below the market value. Market values are monitored constantly in order to ensure that prices are competitive.”
