Note: The information presented here is based on the reports of local authority building inspectors and the National House Building Council (NHBC), a private approved inspector. It does not include information from other private approved inspectors. The exclusion of this information may lead to an undercount in the number of dwellings completed though this is estimated to be quite small.
