Housing Market Intelligence Conference and Report Launch 2010
A packed house of more than 250 delegates attended this year’s Housing Market Intelligence conference, keen to hear information from the assembled experts on the numerous challenges facing the industry.
Housing minister Grant Shapps used the platform to announce a pledge to reduce regulation in the industry and to confirm his support for housebuilders and his confidence that the Coalition policies would see more homes built.
Michael Coogan, head of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, called on the industry to back his organisation’s opposition to new regulations from the Financial Services Agency in his speech, while – in a packed day - Persimmon chairman John White looked at his firm’s strategy as the industry emerges from the crash.
