Statistics from the National House Building Council today reveal that 20 per cent fewer homes were registered in England in the three months to the end of April 2012 than in the same period last year. In the public sector fewer than half as many homes were registered this year.
The news comes as housing minister Grant Shapps told news agency Bloomberg the government was unlikely to build the number of homes needed. He said: ‘If in the boom we were only building 170,000 – still well shy [of the number of homes needed] – and today we are facing an incredibly tough global economy… if you couldn’t do it then, it’s even harder now.’
