CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) has been appointed to partner the South East of England Development Agency (SEEDA) in producing a monthly report on the new-build housing market for the government.
The research, which will come from interviews and surveys with senior decision-makers at leading UK house builders, will give a snapshot of current market activity to assist with the Government's review of current housing policy. The first report from the partnership was submitted to Jonathan Shaw, minister for the southeast, and Gareth Thomas, parliamentary under-secretary of state for trade and consumer affairs. Its key findings include: *The government is perceived as 'doing nothing to help developers' and should engage with house builders directly rather than offering incentives via registered social landlords and councils. |
