British house builders are set to construct more detached and semi-detached homes, as the demand grows for properties with space to work from home, an industry body has said.

The National House Building Council (NHBC), a warranty and insurance provider, said the housing sector has “bounced back” following the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the number of new home build registrations up by 10 percent in the first quarter of 2021 compared with a year earlier.
