It’s no doubt that developers have viewed the outcome of the election as an aid to house building and that, as a result of their renewed confidence, there are now even more plans in place to build and greater optimism about the future and, as the latest LSL New Build Index shows, it appears that yet again it’s not just London who is seeing prices rises as a result says Shaun Peart, Managing Director for LSL Land and New Homes explains.

It’s no doubt that developers have viewed the outcome of the
election as an aid to house building and that, as a result of their
renewed confidence, there are now even more plans in place
to build and greater optimism about the future and, as the
latest LSL New Build Index shows, it appears that yet again it’s
not just London who is seeing prices rises as a result. Shaun
Peart, Managing Director for Land and New Homes within LSL
Property Services (owners of high street estate agents Your
Move and Reeds Rains) explains:
“The regional trends noted in previous months have continued
and a clear pattern now seems to be emerging with the growth in
Greater London prices now slowing - at a steady 13% - the same
rate as last year - as the graph shows.
In terms of the rest of the country, splitting the country into ‘The
North’ and ‘The South’ along the traditional Wash to the Humber
line shows a further level of detail. The ripple effect from Greater
London has spread first to the South East with average year on
year growth now at 6% - double the figure achieved at this time
last year. And as the ripple spreads further out, the Northern
region, which was close to zero percent annual growth last year, is
now approaching 4% growth. In addition while last year the most
outlying regions of Yorkshire and the Humber, the North East and
Scotland were continuing to register slight price falls, they are all
now seeing price growth in the region of 3% - again as the graph
illustrates.
In summary, therefore, the average year on year growth figure for
all regions remains as last month at 7.2% - up on last years’ figure
of 4.7% and in comparison - excluding Greater London - where the
figure has risen from 1.7% to 5% over the same period.

LSL New Build Index - May 2015
Following recent encouraging news that the number of homes built over the last 12 months was at its highest level since the end of 2009, LSL Land & New Homes report that, despite this increase in supply, house prices generally continue to rise as Shaun Peart, Managing Director for LSL Land and New Homes explains.
“In the year to the end April 2015 the year on year growth in new build prices is 7.3% which is slightly up on last month’s figure and nearly double last year’s figure as the graph illustrates.
For the third month in a row, however, growth in Greater London new build prices is slowing with the main growth area now being in the Southern regions (based on a line from the Wash to the Humber and excluding Greater London), which, at 6.6%, is more than three times the figure of April 2014. Growth in the Northern regions has, in contrast, tailed off over the past two months.
In terms of the future many believe that the combination ofchanges in the pension system, continuing low interest rates and greater political certainty following the election will have a positive impact on the housing market. Add this to talks of a Northern Powerhouse and the continuation of Government schemes to help buyers of new property it also appears to be good news for the new build market, in particular, although it will be interesting to see what impact the closure of the Help to Buy (Scotland) scheme will have on the Scottish market.
Affordability, of course, will be a contributing factor to futurehouse price growth and, as our table illustrates, there are vastdifferences across the country.
The table shows the weighted average price of a typical 70 sqm (2 bed) new build property in each region of the country (the weighting reflects the proportions of terraced to flats being built). This price is then divided by the average full time earnings in each region to get to a simple house price to earnings ratio. This is then indexed and the higher the index, the less affordable a ‘starter’ new build property is.
Yet again it appears that new build property in the East Midlands and the North East – as well as Yorkshire and the Humber – are more affordable to buyers with Greater London setting itself apart from the rest of the country. How this will change over the course of the next few months will be interesting to see but, for now, it is hoped that the new Government will support the industry in continuing to meet the clear demand there is for new builds and, as part of this, make new builds affordable for all - wherever in the country they may be.”
