And they've been signed off by the housing agency.

Right.

And is there any review in place to ensure that we're getting value for money for these apartments and that, you know, we're not being, that the developers aren't just larding it on as it were?

Yeah.

Now, this is a support for purchasers effectively, even though, as you say, they don't see the money.

But they can also access other supports when they're buying these apartments, can't they?

Tell us about that.

Now, do we know where these apartments, these 2,200-odd apartments that have been part of the scheme to date, where they've been built?

So the developers are saying, look, we wouldn't be able to build these apartments without this support from the government.

They'd have to do something with it.
