It's the first Christmas in over a decade that I'm not feeding a small army of family members and the first Christmas since my Mam's recent passing.

So it all feels a bit weird.

I need something to do, anyone want any veg chopping?

No sign of the opportunities round here Matt.

Our 'Worldie' prediction didn't quite come to pass, but penalty mistake aside he had a great game.

He kept them in it and made the game closer then it looked!

My theory is that the cost is 'offset' against the scrappage of the steel.

Just going of how they approached Dorman Long.

A great day for those of us with ancient and classy boro tattoos.

I'm back in fashion.

Ed's Better offline podcast has really opened my eyes to it all.

The barn may get built, but the only people making serious money are the people building them and Nvidia.

Wait till you hear about Persimmon and the help to buy scandal.

That doesnt really help your point or argue against mine.

I'm just going to mute you now.

Bye!

Had a nice little social media detox...

Came back for a poke around and its great to see that the people with the loudest opinions still know the least.

You said they were sold at a 2% discount.

You were just wrong.

And that isn't how local market value works either, but considering the difficulties elsewhere I cba correcting you further.

You just want to be angry at it, and I could tell you the actual bad bits, but why bother?

Well, you're saying they love them but only do 2% of them.

Doesn't follow.

You haven't said anything that you havent got wrong, aside from a to dismissing my opinion because you assumed something incorrectly.

You've also cited something you misunderstood and when corrected, you've misunderstood it again.

The 2% 21/22 figure is there to show the failure of the system.

That's the percentage of houses built by type in 21/22 not the discount.

You had to go past the discount get to that bit.

I work for a charity, not a developer.

This is my everyday and I've been at this for a long time.

Personally I think the AHP isn't enough, I think the whole housing system needs reform.

There's a sincere debate to be had but this money is paying for affordable housing and without it, I couldn't compete with commercial developers.

Fact Sheet 9: What is affordable housing?

Sorry but no, a market valuation is a defined legal term, and using a independent valuation has to sold be 20% below that market rate to be funded.

That gets audited by Homes England.

Developers hate it, I've built entire A road junctions to sidestep S106 requirements.

Not saying it's great.

I do this for a living but, the information is publically available.

The AHP investment via Homes England funds newly built units for Social Landlords and the like, most self build where possible.

Affordable units are an obligation to sell below market value - developers typically hate them.
