The number of new NHBC registrations dipped from 9,954 in August to 9,033 in September, according to NHBC’s latest figures.
NHBC said that the industry was still waiting for traditionally strong Autumn sales to boost housebuilding quotas. Chief executive Imtiaz Farookhi commented: “Despite a strong performance in Spring of this year, registration levels during the Summer flattened out and there hasn’t been the traditional Autumn uplift that many in the industry were hoping for.”
Registration figures are still up from last year. From July to September 2010, private sector registrations climbed 32% to 20,594 against the same period in 2009.
