Preliminary data indicates that total residential construction output increased by 5% in 2018 to \u00a374.2bn, according to the latest Construction and Housing Forecast Bulletin from AMA Research<\/a><\/h2>\n

This was underpinned by 8% increase in new work but with residential RMI remaining static at \u00a330bn.<\/p>\n

Whilst both housing starts and completions have remained positive in 2018 there is some evidence of a slowing of the growth rates for both starts and completions into H1 2019. In addition, the rate of annual house price growth has also slowed in Q1 2019.<\/p>\n

The Spring Statement<\/a> in March 2019 also provided good news for the public housing sector with the confirmation that up to \u00a33bn of borrowing by housing associations in England will be made available under the Affordable Homes Guarantee Scheme<\/a> in order to support the delivery of 30,000 affordable homes.<\/p>\n

Future prospects for the new housebuilding sector in Great Britain into the medium-term will be heavily influenced by the issues of affordability, availability of mortgage finance and levels of consumer confidence.<\/p>\n

Into H1 2019, these factors have been less resilient than during 2018, indicating that the more cautious approach applied by businesses over the last year has also percolated into the new housebuilding sector.<\/p>\n

However, the outlook for residential construction remains positive, if modest, with 21% overall growth in output currently forecast between 2018 and 2023.<\/p>\n

The imbalance between demand and supply for new housing will remain one of the key drivers for continued output growth<\/a> for the residential sector.\u00a0The number of new programmes designed to address shortage in housing stocks should motivate output into the medium-term.<\/p>\n
