Could redistributing the Houses of Parliament refurb budget solve Exeter's housing crisis?

New research from finance specialists, Pure Commercial Finance , has revealed that using the £4bn that is to be spent on refurbishing the Houses of Parliament on the housing deficit, could house the whole of Exeter instead.

If matched, the total funding of £4bn could build 40,000 new properties in the UK, based on the average cost of a 3-bedroom house costing £99,842.75 to build (based on Pure’s internal data). This should, in total, house 121,000 people, based on three people per house which is the UK average per household.

Government figures have revealed that since 2010...
