New Home Levels Continue To Rise Despite August Dip

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 the NHBC website.
