A 2025 policy letter recovered from the archive

The 1 September 2025 letter to MPs, Government and the Prime Minister runs 22 pages and contains 17 draft amendments, a European comparison and an impact study.

Doctrine has evolved

The 2025 document proposed broader renovation subsidies and a state zero-interest loan. shifts toward tax incentives, private finance and repayable mechanisms rather than broad cash grants.

The 2026 Finance Act created an amortisation deduction for certain new or heavily renovated rented dwellings, with rental commitments and caps. It is narrower than the wider reform proposed here.
