Poll: Do you think the idea will work?
The Government will today unveil a radical new plan to underwrite construction of new private houses, as high interest rates and an economic downturn make it tough for developers to get finance for new projects.
The new time-limited scheme is designed to de-risk developments, making finance easier to obtain for developers to start building. Developers often have to pre-sell a proportion of dwellings in any development in order to secure finance, which has become much more difficult in the current economic downturn.
