(asked on 31st October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many new starter homes have been built in Southampton since 2015.
This question was answered on 6th November 2017
We are helping people get a foot on the property ladder through a range of initiatives, including starter homes. Since spring 2010, Government-backed schemes have helped over 417,000 homes be purchased.
The precise definition of starter homes is being considered as part of the revised draft National Planning Policy Framework – until that definition is finalised no starter homes can be made available or sold.
