Housing policy critique misses points on Enderby decision
Government houses Sir Bruce Wright argues Enderby’s choice to govern by option to purchase is flawed. He notes the option is known at purchase, hardship falls on buyers paying inflated market prices, and government valuation does not credit repurchase options. Tellers offer little relief in early years, and surpluses go to new buyers before further builds.
