Will a starter apartment divide the coalition? Czarzasty spoke up
The left is cautious about the “Mieszkanie na start” program proposed by the Ministry of Development. However, the co-chairman of the group, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, assures that there will be no arguments in the coalition over the new housing program.
A week ago, the Minister of Development and Technology Krzysztof Hetman presented details of the “Mieszkanie na start” program, which is to replace the “Safe 2% loan”.
Will “Apartment for starters” cause quarrels in the coalition?
The new solution does not arouse the enthusiasm of the coalition Left. Co-chairman of the group, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, was asked today on Radio Zet whether the state should subsidize the installments repaid by borrowers. The politician replied: “No.” – Loan subsidies increase the price of apartments, developers increase prices and banks increase fees – Czarzasty argued.
When asked whether there was going to be a quarrel in the coalition over the new housing program, Czarzasty assured that this would not happen.
– There will be talks within the coalition. I accept that the housing crisis, which involves 1.5 million people lacking apartments, will be implemented in different ways – said the co-chair of the Left. – Let’s follow two or three paths proposed by the Left – it includes those who cannot afford a loan, that is, building for cheap rent – added.
Czarzasty emphasized that everything must be done to solve the housing crisis.
“Starter apartment” – rules
Let us remind you that the “Mieszkanie na start” program will have an age limit for singles of up to 35 years. Other households will not have such a limit. However, there will be income limits, the thresholds will be:
-
10 thousand PLN gross for a single room
-
18 thousand for 2 persons
-
23 thousand for 3 people
-
28 thousand for 4 people
-
33 thousand for 5 people.
The interest rate will be:
-
1.5 percent for 1- and 2-person households
-
1 percent for 3 people
-
0.5 percent for 4 people
-
0 percent for 5 people.
This means that the so-called announced in the campaign credit 0 percent will only apply to families of 5 people.
The interest subsidies will be for 10 years and will amount to no more than:
-
200 thousand PLN for a single-person household
-
400 thousand PLN for a 2-person room
-
450 thousand PLN for a 3-person room
-
50 thousand each for each additional person.
The Minister of Development and Technology announced that the government’s new housing program will be launched in mid-year.
