Delivering quality, affordability, sustainability.

The residential housing sector in Wales continues to face many challenges across all class of property. Against this backdrop the impact of welfare reform may not been fully realised. The Welsh Government recognise these issues and have launched several schemes designed to boost the market and make more property available.

By attending this conference, you will hear how the Welsh Government is providing solutions to the housing sector, the likely impact of welfare reform and the process of renovating older housing stock to achieve a lower carbon print. This event also has sessions on the valuation of land for affordable housing and a case study on mortgage providers working with developers of system built housing. Join your colleagues across Wales by attending this conference which address the challenges across all classes of housing.
