CAN anybody tell me, how much is an affordable home?

To me an affordable home would be a third of the market asking price, because the houses they are building today are shoddy compared to the house of yesteryear.

There are in today’s figures 200,000 empty homes in this country.

So why are we not doing as they are in Liverpool, selling houses for £1?

This should be open to young families who are prepared to have the house they deserve, because they cannot get on the housing ladder due to the extortionate prices today.

These people must be able to assure the council they are not landlords boosting their portfolios, but families in need.
