Homes England has published statistics on housebuilding including housing starts on site and completions delivered by Homes England between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025.
According to the figures, housing programmes delivered by Homes England resulted in 38,308 new houses starting on site and 36,872 new homes completed between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025. Starts increased by 5 per cent and completions increased by 12 per cent compared to the same period last year.
30,087 of new starts on site were for affordable houses. This is a 0.6 per cent increase on the previous year, and represents 79 per cent of all starts.
Of the affordable homes started in this period, 5,680 were for social rent, an increase of 43 per cent on the previous year and 2,665 were for affordable rent, a decrease of 18 per cent. 2,800 were for intermediate affordable housing schemes, including shared ownership and rent to buy — a decrease of 27 per cent on the previous year.
Of the affordable housing starts delivered, 96 per cent were delivered from the Affordable Homes Programme 2021 to 2026. Over its lifetime, it exceeded its target of 130,000, delivering 136,169 affordable starts on site. It is due to finish delivery of completions by March 2026.
Eamonn Boylan, Chief Executive of Homes England, said: "The statistics published today demonstrate the commitment and determination of the sector to build the new homes and communities the country needs.
"It also shows the importance of programmes like the Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) to enable the delivery of these much-needed homes — and comes hot on the heels of the government committing a further £39 billion in funding to affordable homes over a 10 year period, giving confidence and certainty to the sector.
"We’ll be working closely with the government on the operationalisation of this funding over the coming months, alongside other new initiatives such as the creation of the National Housing Bank, whilst continuing to work closely with local leaders to understand local needs, and providers to ensure they have the support to meet that need."
