House building at highest level since 2007


The National House Building Council (NHBC) has reported that 133,670 homes were built in 2013, the highest amount since 2007 and a 28% increase on the number built in 2012. The NHBC said the recovery was becoming increasingly "broad-based" rather than being concentrated only in London. The figures show that every region in the UK, apart from Wales, saw a year-on-year increase in the number of homes being registered with the NHBC. In England, the number of new-build registrations was up by 30% on 2012, reaching 117,969. In London, 26,230 homes were registered, a 60% rise and the highest since records began more than 26 years ago.
