New build index

As we embark on the second quarter of the year, it will be interesting to see how prices for new build properties will change over the next few months and how the referendum, in particular, might impact on consumers decision to buy. Over the last year – to the end of March 2016 – we’ve seen new build house prices, on average, rise by 6% – slightly less than the 7.2% increase recorded in the year to March 2015 – but there are strong regional variations.
