Just over 174,000 new homes were completed across England in the year up to June 2019, up 8% year on year, and this trend continued throughout the rest of 2019 according to new data released by the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government.
New home completions rose over the year across all regions except London, where completions were 9% lower than the previous year. The Welsh Government report 5,800 new homes were completed across Wales over the same time period, 5.6% lower year on year.
In terms of regions, the North West witnessed the largest surge in completions, up over 4,000 year on year. However southern regions, London, the South East, South West and East of England, together accounted for over 75% of all completions.
Figures are in line with household projections, which estimate household numbers in England to increase by 159,000 per year (2016 – 2041). However, numbers remain below the mooted figure of 300,000 new homes required annually for affordability pressures to ease.

So you have made the decision to downsize but what will your next home look like?
Which types of property will suit your new lifestyle? These are the sorts of questions many of our downsizing clients have and we are here to help you make the best choice for you.
Many of our clients decide to downsize to a brand new home. This can be a great choice for a number of reasons:
Maintenance free
Newly built homes offer a relatively “maintenance free” lifestyle and come with a 10 year structural warranty which will protect you from any major defects with your home.
Better deals available
There are often better deals available on new homes with developers keen to secure buyers quickly.
Energy efficiency
Brand new homes are built to a far higher standards of energy effiency and utilise the latest techniques and use specialist building materials meaning new build homes are very energy efficient and will cost less to run. They also typically offer better air filtration which increases indoor air quality, reducing symptoms from those who have asthma or allergies.
Safety
Brand new homes are constructed to strict safety standards using the latest fire-resistant materials and technology as well as wired in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. They also provide certain rooms with windows that open large enough to allow escape in the event of a fire.

It is encouraging to see that the number of new homes being built nationally continues to increase which is delivering quality homes to support the growing demand for housing both locally and nationally.
The Help to Buy initiative has certainly contributed to this increase and is helping make property ownership possible for buyers that might otherwise have not been able to afford to buy.
