House building activity in the UK this year is set to top
levels seen in 2014, according to new figures from NHBC. The new home
registrations statistics reveal an increase of 11% for the rolling quarter June
- August, compared to the same period last year. A total of 40,101 new homes
were registered in the UK during this period, up on the 36,149 new homes
registered in the previous year. The private sector increased by 12% during
this period (30,210 in 2015; 27,072 last year), with the public sector
increasing by 9% from last year (9,891 in 2015; 9,077 last year). However,
registrations for August were down marginally by 6% (10,362 compared to 11,037
last year) - the first time since January that figures fell below last year's
respective monthly totals. Read more on
