| The Christmas season didn’t do much to dent Scottish planners’ workload, with a total of 1244 units approved in December. In the housing associations table, Garston Urban Village scored a major approval, and Persimmon and George Wimpey made headway in the private sector. | ||||||||
| Approvals into the new year dwindled virtually across the board – with none in Northern Ireland – but London had a much better January. In the private housebuilders table the Gladedale Group got the most green lights at 247 units. | ||||||||

| Above is the average price homeseekers were willing to pay in their region between November and January. Prices tended to even out slightly with a 12.6% drop in London and a boost in East Anglia, plus a lowering in demand for penthouses countered by an increase in terraces. | ||||||||
