A DOUBLE-高さ living room, a bedroom in the loft and what looks like an outdoor gym. Not bad for only £60,000.

But just as 広い地所 スパイ／執行官s can neglect to について言及する 有毒な 捨てるs and noisy 隣人s, there is a catch with Prezza's grand designs. While it might cost £60,000 to build one of these homes, 専門家s 警告する the sale prices will be much higher - perhaps 二塁打 - 特に in the South-East.

非，不，無 will be sold for £60,000, with costs such as 購入（する） of land, 料金s, 関係s to 公共事業（料金）／有用性s, developers' 出資／貢献 to 組織／基盤／下部構造 (roads, 輸送（する）, schools and hospitals) and their 利益（をあげる）s 運動ing up prices.

The 王室の 会・原則 of 借り切る／憲章d Surveyors has calculated that the 法案 for 料金s and 利益（をあげる）s alone could 越える £20,000 per 部隊.

The first wave of cheaper houses will see 500 built on 政府-owned 場所／位置s 近づく Milton Keynes, Newport Pagnell, Northampton and 物陰／風下d. Only a third will cost £60,000.

But the winning designs - from Barratt 開発s, George Wimpey UK, and SIXTYK 国際借款団／連合 - 誇る impressive features 含むing:

? 柔軟な floorplans, 許すing features such as a room in the roof and a 二塁打-高さ living room. One design has no 内部の 構造上の 塀で囲むs for 最大限 adaptability.

? Designs that take 安全 into account - such as a good 見解（をとる） of the street from inside the home.

? 車椅子 接近 around the house, or 柔軟性 to 許す insertion of a 解除する.

? Features to 上げる 環境の efficiency and maximise natural light.

The 勝利者s were chosen by 政府 regeneration 機関 English 共同s.

大臣s are 捜し出すing ways of building more cheaper homes in the 直面する of house prices that have more than 二塁打d over the past deca de, putting them out of reach of many first-time 買い手s.
