    New home registrations are on the riNEW home registrations acrossthe UK remain ahead of last yearsfigures, with the latest rollingquarter revealing an 8 per cent in-crease on the same period in 2013,according to new figures releasedby the National House BuildingCouncil (NHBC).

    The latest statistics show that37,222 new homes were registeredacross the UK for the period Sep-tember November, compared to34,356 for the corresponding threemonths in 2013.

    New home registrations in theprivate sector remain up on lastyear for the rolling quarter (29,812in 2014; 25,079 in 2013) but the pub-lic sector is struggling to matchthe numbers registered 12 monthsago (7,410 in 2014; 9,277 in 2013).

    The drop in the number of af-

    fordable homes being registeredalso resulted in November fallingslightly below overall levels forthe same month last year (10,824in 2014 - 8,764 private; 2,060 publiccompared to 11,409 in 2013 8,010private; 3,399 public).

    Commenting on the latest new

    home statistics, NHBC Chief Ex-ecutive Mike Quinton, said; Aswe approach the end of the yearit is clear that overall registration

    levels for new homes in 2014 willshow an increase on last yearsextremely strong growth. Theseregistration figures area goodlead

    A sophisticated drive with lower emissionsWHATS new?

    Audis gone for a subtle ap-proach, with tweaks to the head-lights, nose and bumpers.

    Buyers can now choose from an

    uprated version of Audis clevercylinder on demand 1.4-litrepetrol engine, while a new 1.0-litrethree-cylinder motor promises im-pressive CO2 performance.
