Agency gets to 97% of target set by government
New housing completions supported by Homes England rose 9% in 2025/26, almost reaching the target set for it by the government.
The 40,200 homes built with the help of the housing and regeneration agency was up from 36,900 built in 2024/25 and 97% towards the targeted 41,500.
Homes England said this was the highest number of completions for six years.
The 2025/26 period also saw it facilitate the start of construction for 42,400 homes, up 11% year-on-year, and beating its targeted 37,100.
The agency also unlocked land capable of delivering 61,700 homes, beating another target of 53,700, although down on the 2024/25 figure of 79,011.
“These figures tell the story of the positive impact of collaboration - when organisations with a common aim, from communities to town halls to central government, work together to deliver the new homes and thriving places that people want and need across the country,” said Homes England chair Pat Ritchie.
