NHBC’s statistics for the start of 2014 continued the upward trend set throughout 2013, which saw the highest number of new home registrations since 2007.
In total, 11,489 new homes were registered (8,312 private sector, 3,177 public sector) in January, compared with 10,112 in January 2013.
NHBC’s commercial director, Richard Tamayo, said:
