Volodin threatened inspections due to the increase in housing prices: in the areas the price increase reaches 54%.
Unreasonable price increases must be checked in cooperation with the prosecutor's office and the control and supervision authorities," said State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.
"The president assigned us the task of ensuring that both the rates and the cost per square meter of housing are justified. They cannot change by 50% from year to year. This situation needs to be studied," he said.
According to him, the developers are inflating the cost per square meter.
"And then people will be forced to pay their mortgages, based on this larger scale of the scheme. Socially, the country in terms of housing, they will be halved."
Volodin also drew attention to the sharp difference in price dynamics between regions: in some housing costs increased by 54%, in others decreased by 5%:.
"And this is what we get: there are more meters, but the housing is further away, because it has become twice as expensive. Why is growth so different between regions? Think about it."
The State Duma spokesman linked the problem to mortgage interest, economic development and housing prices for the population. In his opinion, the issue requires not only a discussion, but also a response from the supervisory authorities, the attorney's office and the accounting office.
Earlier, the head of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Neviolina, called for a cut in benefits, because Russians do not need cheap mortgages, but affordable housing.
