The iN business awards


General Election 2005Our Messages:

• Our children & young people – where will they live when they grow up?

• People think that home ownership is a home, security, their children’s inheritance – all their eggs in one basket

• Government should ensure there is sufficient housing to meet the needs of all income groups

• We provide a range of solutions- renting, shared ownership and soon equity stakes.
