Gingerbread houses

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.
