Q Why build Lifetime Homes when we now have Part M? (Answer 2)

A Lifetime Homes include a number of attractive features that will differentiate them from the existing housing stock.

Because Lifetime Homes will be suitable for older people and for the vast majority of disabled people as well as the non-disabled person, they will have a wider market of potential buyers and residents, probably increasing their value and the ease with which they can be sold,
