There has been a significant increase in home building in Northern Ireland, new figures have revealed.
A total of 3,223 new homes were registered in 2015, compared to 2,487 in 2014, according to the National House Building Council (NHBC).
Overall, the number of new homes registered to be built in the UK has topped 156,000 in 2015.
NHBC Chief Executive Mike Quinton, said: "We are pleased to report that 2015 was a year for continued housing growth in the UK. Both the public and private sectors have performed well and we have seen encouraging levels of house-building across most regions of the country.
"The detached home continues its resurgence, with our figures showing that house builders are building the highest number of detached properties for over a decade, with semi-detached homes also at their highest level in more than 20 years.
"There is still a way to go before we are building the levels of new homes that were seen before the economic downturn, but 2015 represents consolidation on the growth seen over the last three years."
