GOVERNMENT PLANS LITERAL HOUSING LADDER FOR NEW HOME BUYERS
01 April 2011

The Government is planning to make first time buyer literally climb a housing ladder in order to get new homes. Once a new development is opened, potential buyers will be lined up on a starting line at the bottom of a ladder. Whoever reaches the top first gets the new home. The Government hopes it will encourage people to become more active. In a boost to the Big Society, the ladders will be provided by voluntary groups.
