Special report on housebuilding including articles on a survey of housebuilders quality control tests by the Construction Quality Forum showing that 60% of defects do not come to light until the building is occupied, how Tower Hamlets plans to meet its £200m repair bill, how valid the use of life-cycle costing models are in valuing property transferred from public sector landlords to the private sector, a repair scheme to bring crumbling prefabricated houses to mortgagable standards and the case of Jock Carstairs who led a 4-year battle against Exeter CC for compensation for a house he had bought under right to buy but which was structurally unsound.
