Provisional figures show that Homes England surpassed its 2024/2025 annual targets, set centrally by government, for the number of new homes started, the number of new homes completed, and the number of potential homes unlocked. This work is key to supporting the government in delivering 1.5 million homes this parliament. Homes England colleagues, working in partnership with hundreds of local, regional and national organisations to catalyse housing, regeneration and place-making across the country, have:
The figures represent a high-level snapshot of progress underpinned by strong performance from across the Agency.
Matthew Pennycook, Minister of State for Housing and Planning, said: Homes England is playing a crucial role in supporting the government's Plan for Change to build 1.5 million new homes and deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation. Last year I set out ambitious priorities for Homes England and I am pleased that the Agency has exceeded key housebuilding targets to ramp up the delivery of new homes and place-based regeneration. This is alongside backing SME housebuilders and bolstering the government's wider devolution agenda to unlock much-needed housing and growth. Pat Ritchie, Chair of Homes England, said: As the newly appointed Chair of Homes England, I'm proud to see the hard work of the Agency reflected in our 2024/25 performance figures. The team's passion for housebuilding and regeneration remains its greatest strength, and I'm pleased to see this so clearly demonstrated in these results. Looking forward, the transformation of the Agency into a more regionally-based model will mean we're well-placed to support the government's mission to build 1.5 million homes this parliament. Eamonn Boylan, Chief Executive of Homes England, said: Since joining Homes England in January I've been continuously impressed with my colleagues' unwavering dedication to our central mission: to ensure everyone has a place they're proud to call home. Our 2024/25 performance figures reflect the Agency's determination and passion for housing and regeneration. We've exceeded our delivery targets by supporting our housebuilding partners to create much-needed new homes and we've worked more closely with mayors across the country to champion place-making and drive regional growth. The provisional performance figures are part of Homes England's annual report, which will be published this summer. Notes to editors:
