– commercial banks can now issue mortgages up to $8MGovernment has announced that commercial banks will enjoy a tax rebate on mortgage loans that will allow homeowners to borrow up to $8M from that sector.Before,Cheap NFL Jerseys Stitched, commercial banks could have only issued mortgages for up to $3M,NFL Jerseys From China, using this tax break.Additionally, President Bharrat Jagdeo announced yesterday, some $2B will be made available to senior citizens and vulnerable groups to assist them in owning their homes.At a press conference at the Office of the President, yesterday, Jagdeo noted that for sometime the administration has been pushing for an expansion of credit to the housing sector.“As you are aware for sometime now,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys, I have announced an enhanced focus on housing… that we plan to spend some $6B over the next few years to enhance infrastructure to develop 20,000 house lots so that the demands that we have could substantially be reduced.”Explaining, the Head of State said that the facility of $2B will target single parents and senior citizens who for one reason or the other are unable to meet criterion of either the New Building Society (NBS) or commercial banks.With a huge demand for home financing, NBS has reached its limits, the President said.

Residents of Non Pareil,Cheap Jerseys China, East Coast Demerara,Cheap NFL Jerseys, are disgruntled over the lack of electricity in the Housing Scheme located at the Triple X sections and its environs for the past three years.One resident noted that since the commissioning of the housing project in 2009 by the Ministry of Housing,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic, Government has made several promises to ensure that the community would receive the much needed electricity but have not delivered on their word.“Up to last year during the elections campaign they come and promise we power but is almost a year gone.
