As Tories begin gathering in Birmingham for their annual conference, the Prime Minister said a Conservative government would release cheaper, commercial "brownfield" land for housebuilding - with properties reserved for first-time buyers.
Homes built under the proposed Help to Buy: Starter Homes scheme would also be exempt from a range of taxes, enabling them to be sold for 20% below the normal market rate.
