The number of new homes being registered to be built
across the UK continues to outperform 2014 levels, according to the latest NHBC
figures for July. Following the strong figures reported for Q2 2015, the new
statistics reveal an increase of 14% for the rolling quarter May - July,
compared to the same period last year, with 43,684 new homes registered in the
UK (32,521 private sector; 11,163 public sector). Last year, 38,365 new homes
were registered in the same three month period (28,804 private sector; 9,561
public sector). The public sector increased by 17% during this time, when
compared to the same period last year, providing further evidence of noticeable
growth as a result of the changes to, and the extension of, the Affordable
Homes Programme. Read more on the NHBC website.
