Read this insightful feature in Development Finance Today, written by our very own Anna Vincent-Gill – Associate Director of Project Monitoring at Naismiths, detailing the challenges faced by the Future Homes Standard.

The impact of that last requirement, which will effectively prohibit gas boilers from new homes and oblige developers to fit green alternatives instead, is already being felt.”
