derm, by law, new developers have to provide a certain percentage of flats in each new development for 'affordable housing' that are given/sold to the local council for that purpose.
the bad thing about this is that some developments mix up all the apartments, so in theory you may end up paying £220,000 for a nice 2 bedroom place and your nextdoor neighbour has got exactly the same flat but they paid half the price or get it free from the council on benefits. i think you'd be pretty pissed off at paying 220 thinking you were going to be in an exclusive development and potentially having some 'rough' neighbours (not that everyone on benefits is rough likes, but u know what i mean).
but Qmile development has it sussed in this sense. theyve kept the affordable housing to one block and its way in the corner of the development lol.
