New build homes registered

As households across the nation dust off the age-old recipe for gingerbread houses, we’ve taken a look at what house builders have cooked up recently.


  • Close to 200,000 new homes were registered in the year to the end of September 2022, the highest total since before the Global Financial Crisis.
  • 44,729 new homes were registered in Q3 of 2022, up 33% on Q3 2021, with private new home registrations up 26% year on year.
  • More than half of home movers would consider purchasing a new build home; energy efficiency, lower running costs and a lack of maintenance or refurbishment are considered the major benefits.
