It was during a visit to a model of construction of Controlled Cost Housing (HCC) that Ribau Esteves, Mayor of Aveiro, made his criticisms to the Institute of Housing and Urban Rehabilitation (IHRU) indicating that one of the major problems of the institution is the delay in responses.
"The slow functioning of the IHRU is a very complicated problem that the Government has in hand", said the mayor, arguing that the institute needs "deep reform".
During the visit to the HCC construction model, Ribau Esteves said he was surprised by the quality of the construction, which includes 320 apartments of types T1, T2 and T3 and has an investment of about 70 million euros, privately.
The foundations of one of the lots, however, are dependent on an HCC certification, whose opinion comes from the IHRU, and it has been felt the delay in the response: "the application for certification of lot 4 was made in November last year. For six months the company has been systematically requesting certification not to stop the work", commented the management of the construction company responsible for the contract, Aristides Alferes.
The HCC certification allows access to tax benefits such as VAT reduced to 6%, however, there is "slowness" in the responses submitted by the IHRU, which is criticized by the mayor of Aveiro: "we are humbly aware that we will need much more in all sectors of housing, because the demand pressure in our municipality is increasing".
