Home registrations across the UK are continuing to outperform 2014 levels according to NHBC UK.

Registrations have increased by 20 per cent compared with the same period last year and follows on from a strong Q1 growth.

The private sector increased by 24 per cent during the period while public sector housebuilding was also up eight per cent on last year.

Commenting on the statistics, Mike Quinton, NHBC Chief Executive, said: “The very positive start to the year continues, with the growth in new home registrations unaffected by uncertainty ahead of the General Election, and so 2015 is likely to be another strong year.

“Now that the outcome of the General Election has been decided we look forward to continuing our work with government to ensure that housing remains at the top of the political agenda to help us get back to pre-recession building levels.”

For April, 12,459 new homes were registered; an increase of four per cent on the 11,985 homes which were registered in April 2014.
