Information from, "www.new-homes.co.uk" the UK site for the New Homes Marketing Board (NHMB) and the House Builders Federation (HBF), explains that in 1997, 47% of new homes built in the South East were detached whilst the proportion of new flats was 14%. By 2003, this was almost totally reversed with just 19% detached and 46% flats.Mick Noble, spokesman for new-homes.co.uk said: "Flats are clearly becoming more popular as shown in the findings. This may be due to a number of reasons, such as buyers wanting the city lifestyle, a second home or even simply just to live near to work.”
Certain cities in the UK have benefited from a boom of urban renewal and rejuvenation of the city centre. Northern cities such as Manchester and Leeds have had extensive conversion of old industrial and warehouse buildings into luxury studio flats, whereas other cities have had predominantly new apartments and complexes, including luxury health and social facilities, concierge and underground parking (always a problem in inner cities).
