Builders Call for Lenders to Ease Criteria on Mortgages for New Homes
Lenders have become increasingly nervous about offering home loans for new-build flats and houses amid worries that house prices will continue to fall. Lenders are valuing new-build homes as if the properties were on the second-hand market, causing a lower valuation than hoped for and frustration amongst homebuilders. John Stewart, the director of economic affairs at the Home Builders’ Federation, said “Mortgage availability is the key issue for the housing market and we need to see lenders return to some sensible levels of lending to assist recovery.”
