New figures released by NHBC show that the number of new
homes being registered across the UK remains slightly ahead of corresponding
statistics for last year. The latest statistics show that 38,099 new homes were
registered for the rolling quarter May - July, compared to 37,738 for the same
period last year; an increase of 1%, building on the strong growth seen
throughout the country over the last 18 months. The private sector continues to
drive overall growth with numbers up nearly 7% for the rolling quarter compared
to last year (28,861 this year; 27,028 last year) with the public sector
remaining down on 2013 levels by 14% (9,238 this year; 10,710 last year). Read
