Citizens reject new homes

Describing the new homes as small, characterless and of poor quality, most UK citizens have rejected the government’s decision to build new homes.

This finding was contained in a survey carried out by the HomeOwners Alliance. The survey revealed that just 21% would actually buy a new build and 47% want a home that is 10 years old or older.

Also, the survey revealed that 38% think that a low standard of build quality is the main disadvantage of a new home.

According to Paula Higgins, HomeOwners Alliance, “We need more new homes, but they have to be homes that people want to live in, not homes that are quick, easy and cheap for house builders to throw up.”

Adding that ‘What we need to solve the housing crisis are quality homes of character and space, and challenge the housing industry to deliver. After the war, they built homes fit for heroes. All we want is homes fit for home owners. Homes shouldn’t be built just for a quick profit, but to last for generations to come.'

These reactions are coming on the heels of the government’s pledge to build new homes to meet the rising housing demands.
