Quarter master: supermodel low-cost homes for sale. (Building Homes)

Article Abstract:

A housing scheme in Batley, Leeds is being used as a model for local authorities. The house builder was awarded land at zero cost by Kirklees Metropolitan Council, to build low cost homes. The council is able to choose buyers from its housing list, before the homes are marketed to other interested parties, and, on resale, the same discount to market value will apply.

Seen one, take one: if a picture is worth a thousand words, what can video's 25 frames a second do for housebuilders? (Building Homes)

Article Abstract:

Some housebuilders are using video to sell homes, enabling them to give buyers more information. They can also track a development's construction from start to finish. A basic video would cost around 3,500-4,000 pounds sterling and it can take time to light a show home properly.
