Raising standards to protect homeowners NHBC produces statistics derived almost exclusively from its 18,000 registered builders, who construct around 80% of the new homes built in the UK. As such, they represent a unique source of detailed, up-to-date information on new home construction and the house-building industry. For general enquiries relating to NHBC's new house-building statistics, please contact Martin Fearnley on 01908 747488 or e-mail statistics@nhbc.co.uk .
House building stats CLG
The House Building statistics provide quarterly data on new build housing supply, including both starts and completions, and are available on this page. Links are given below to the latest statistical release and a range of data tables. Proposed improvement to coverage : Within our latest statistical release, in addition to the regular statistical results, we explain our proposal to improve the coverage of the house building statistics from the March quarter 2012 onwards by incorporating data from other Approved Inspectors in the House Building statistics and sets out the impact this would have on the headline figures. We believe the proposal represents a necessary improvement to the House Building statistics.
