NHBC chief executive,,


Basil Bean, said today, “The pick up in levels of UK housebuilding activ­ ity is very encouraging and p ro v id e s further evidence of recovery in the housing market. “Thanks to improving


levels of consumer con­ f id e n ce , the lowes t mortgage interest rates for over 20 years-and re co rd le v e ls of new home affordability, the prospects for sustained growth in the new h ousing market over the coming y e a r are now the best for some time. “However, there is still


a long way to go. Total housing starts last year were virtually the same as .in 1995. The indus­ try will need to. se e a furthe r 12 months of growth before declaring the h o u se b u ild in g recession over.”


THE results of the HBF monthly survey of housebuilders show a dramatic rise in con­ cern about land prices and planning delays during the last year. Surveyed in Decem­ ber, 71 per cent of respondents said that planning delays were a major constraint on


output. Land availability was identified as a major constraint on output by 66 per cent of - - '


respondents in December 1996, compared with 46 per cent in December 1995. • Eighty per cent of respondents said that land prices had increased over the previous


three months, whereas only 18 per cent said the same in December 1995. As a result of this, a rising proportion said they had inadequate levels of completed


stock to satisfy anticipated demand for houses over the next few months. This stood at24percentin December 1996 compared with 11 percentin December 1995.


HFB president David Hollandsaidthatthe results underlined the vital importance of making improvements to the efficiency of the planning system, removing the many delays now encountered by housebuilders.

FIRST-tlme buyers are now better placed to buy than for over 25 years, according to figures ; released this month by the National House


Building Council. Their figures take account of house prices, the cost of mortgage borrowing, earnings levels, deposits required and special deals being offered to those keen to get a foot • on the first rung of the home buying ladder. A new design of house that is ideal for first time buyers


has been introduced by Wainhomes at their popular “Pen- die View” development in Burnley. The Lincoln is a two- bedroomed semi-detached house for the company’s luxu; rious new classic design range which at less than £40,000, offers excellent value for money. “We have introduced the Lincoln in response to strong


demand for two-bedroomed properties at Pendle View,” says Carole Edwards, Wainhomes’ Sales and Marketing Manager. “Now we have one doubling as a sales office and view home at this delightful semi-rural location, so that potential buyers can see for themselves what a good buy it is. And for first time buyers there are several incentives to help them with the cost of making that important first pur­


chase.” There are also special offers on certain detached proper­


ties at Pendle View, details of which can be obtained from the sales office. The office is open between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. from Thursday to Monday inclusive (closed Tuesday and Wednesday), tel. 01282 450156 or by contacting the. Wainhomes Sates Information Centre on freephone 0500-
