520 _aPresents the new measures of the Government to help the housing industry and the mixed response from the building sector. The measures, among others, include: increase of initial payments of contractors at the start of a project; enlarging the range of organisations building homes; reforms to mortgages; more flexibility to access the property market for first time buyers with a househod income of less than £60,000. Shows that for many the measures are not sufficient or are brought up too late to be of real help. Presents advantages and disadvantages for Registered Social Landlords and housing associations in this critical economic context.
