Daniel Austin, CEO and co-founder at ASK Partners, has commented on new property investment projects in Sheffield, Blackpool and Liverpool as well as £242m in Barking Riverside and Canary Wharf.
Daniel said: “It is positive that Jeremy Hunt is putting investment into new homes at the top of the agenda. Focusing investment into high growth business facilities such as labs and the housing needed to attract staff into these roles is crucial for economic growth.
“However, affordability is going to remain an issue until we have increased supply by much more than 300,000 homes per year.”
