Welcome to the latest issue of
Showhome. The latest report from the
Halifax states that new homeowners
need just over a quarter of their takehome
pay to cover loans, the lowest
proportion of their disposable earning
since 1997. Halifax housing economist
Martin Ellis said: “Reduced mortgage
rates have led to a significant
improvement in housing affordability
for those able to fund the necessary
deposit to enter the market over the
past five years.”
The price of new homes has risen by
5.9% during the last 12 months
according to the latest data from the
Office of National Statistics (ONS).

George Osborne delivered his annual
Budget on March 20th, outlining his vision for the economy over the coming year. Amongst his measures was an extension to the FirstBuy scheme, called Help to Buy. When it comes into effect next year, it aims to help first time buyers looking to
get onto the property ladder for a
new-build home. The Government will contribute 20% of the value of the house, interest free, if the buyers can provide a deposit of 5%. This should help both new buyers and house builders, as the demand for new houses should increase as the Help to Buy scheme takes effect.

HOUSE BUILDING METHODS ‘UNSAFE’
SAY MPS... Pioneering house
building techniques,
such as timber frames, are raising
concerns amongst fire safety experts,
MPs have been told. Many modern
methods of construction and new types
of engineering have not been fully tested
for their ability to withstand fire, Mike
Wood of the Passive Fire Protection
Federation warned. “Fire safety is too
often seen as a constraint in design,
limiting flexibility [and] adding cost,” he
said. “One of the most dominant trends
is to take short cuts in fire safety.”

Welcome to the latest issue of Showhome.
Figures released in September from the
National House-Building Council have shown that new home registrations were down 4% in August this year, when compared to 12 months previously. The total number of registrations have fallen 15% to just over 72,500 over the year to date. This just goes to show the scale of the problem facing the house-building industry at the moment.

Showhome Magazine is a business magazine dedicated to the home-building industry. Featuring a wide range of house-building related topics that concern the new homes community, the in-depth editorial written by industry experts provides a valuable resource for any professional within the industry.
