The possible problem is, would they be acceptable to buyers and mortgage providers.
How they were manufactured and materials used are new regulations required.
We older folk remember the prefabs near High Lane Row and maybe that puts us Off.
However the same problem arises the manpower to make and assemble them etc.
Whatever way houses are to be produced it comes back to manpower. 370,000 ain’t going to happen full stop.
Some years ago around 2000 there was a small development of 6 houses in Knaresborough of prefabricated houses and built to a very high standard including triple glazing. They were either Swedish or Danish manufactured.
We looked at them but price too high and location only 1/2 mile from our house. They never caught on for some reason, probably location being too close to the main York road.
One other problem is being able to produce the materials to build that amount of housing, you are talking more than doubling that side of the trade..
As regards immigration the Government stupidly scrubbed the Rwanda Scheme without anything to replace it, loony!
Labour have now been in power for a month and it’s been downhill all the way and that’s stuff that we have now found out, what else is hidden in the woodpile I wonder!
Way back Leslie’s started making prefabricated houses and a lot built but that did not last very long. We had moved away from Tyneside so no knowledge of what happened to the company.
