The number of new homes being registered slowed down in
the third quarter of this year, according to industry figures. There were
39,364 registrations – down by 9% compared with the same period a year earlier,

and insurance provider, covering around 80% of new homes built in the UK. Builders
register homes to be built in the coming weeks or months – so the figures are
an indicator of the level of new housing supply in the pipeline. The
year-on-year fall in registrations was driven by home registrations in the
private sector. Read more on the Yahoo Finance website.
