US EditionNew home registrations in London plunged by 27% last year – warranty provider
UK new home registrations rose 11% in 2025, driven by private and affordable sectors, while London saw a 27% decline amid affordability and regulatory challenges, NHBC said.
- In London, last year the NHBC reported registrations fell 27% to 4,723, contrasting with an 11% rise across the UK, according to the NHBC.
- The NHBC, which dominates the new-build warranty and insurance market with over 70% share, said completions fell 2% last year to 122,012 from 124,272 in 2024.
- Private sector data show private sector registrations rose 12% to 75,227, rental and affordable sector uplifted 10% to 40,123, while new apartments fell to 16,631 amid building control backlogs.
- Daniel Pearce said the NHBC is increasingly hearing of house builders reducing operations in London due to regulatory challenges and cost, likely linked to ongoing affordability issues.
- Fragile demand means fragile consumer confidence, affordability challenges and economic uncertainty continue to impact demand, the NHBC noted, while Daniel Pearce said policy reforms will help deliver new homes.
