New housing experienced solid growth in March, up 3.8% on
the month, despite a 0.7% drop in wider UK construction output, the latest
figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show. In spite of the
wider slowdown in the construction sector in March, which was the third
consecutive period of negative month-on-month growth, residential property
building levels rose by 5.4% on the year and 0.2% on the quarter. The ONS said repair
and maintenance was the main drag on construction output, shrinking both
month-on-month and quarter-on-quarter by 1.8% and 0.2%, respectively. Read more
