STATEMENT: UKSIF Welcomes the Future Homes Standard
Commenting on the release of the Future Homes Standard, UKSIF CEO James Alexander said:
“Investors will welcome government plans to place low-carbon efficiency measures at the heart of new building regulations.
“Well-implemented guidelines that raise the overall quality and sustainability of new properties can attract billions in private investment, support thousands of skilled jobs and contribute to wider economic growth.
“This can also potentially reduce long-term risks for mortgage holders, as it will help to safeguard the valuations of their homes.”
