Budget allows for market bonds and equity release schemes
An MHK has emphasised the government's long-term strategy for providing affordable property.
Chris Thomas is the Department of Infrastructure's member responsible for Housing.
He says the Treasury's 2016 budget has committed the government to measures like new market bonds, help for first-time buyers, and equity release schemes.
Mr. Thomas hopes that by implementing these now, a new administration can 'hit the ground running' in September:
