A little while ago my wife and I went to view a new housing development nearby, the houses were nice but as per usual the pricing was so far above the existing houses in the area it would have been not worth us trading up on the property ladder to pay more than double the mortgage we have now and a smaller house in square footage terms.
My wife has a decent salary job, better than mine, and her boss has just been told they are getting one of the currently unbuilt new homes through the housing association list
I thought these things were means tested?
