There was little change in the number of new houses registered across the UK in the third quarter of this year, compared to the same period in 2011, according to new figures from NHBC.
In total there were 28,151 new homes registered across all sectors for Q3 2012, compared to 30,039 in the previous year, representing a slight drop of 6 per cent.
Broken down, the private sector experienced a 7 per cent decline, with social housing numbers down 5 per cent against Q3 2011 figures.
However, the latest Q3 figures revealed a 9 per cent increase in registrations compared to Q2.
Richard Tamayo, NHBC Commercial Director, said: “Recent measures announced by the Government are desperately needed but their success will only be realised through a collaborative effort between the industry and government. This will hopefully have a positive effect on the stagnation of overall housing levels in the UK.”
