My next question is about houses that come back to the council. We want to get them refurbished and back onto the council market. When a house is handed back to the council, where is the bottleneck when trying to get it back to the market? Is the Department the problem, since the council has to go through it for funding to get those houses back onto the market, or is it the lack of contractors?
