In 2025/26 the housing and regeneration agency enabled the completion of over 40,200 homes, up 9% from the year before.

This figure is close to the 41,500 target set by the government for that year.

In addition, Homes England facilitated the start of 42,400 homes in 2025/26, a rise of 11% on 2024/25.

This figure exceeds the 37,100 target set by the government for home starts.

Homes England has unlocked land capable of delivering a further 61,700 homes, which is in excess of its current 53,700 target.

“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 Pat Ritchie, chair at Homes England.

“Agency colleagues are not just experts but enablers and collaborators within this context.

“Our new regional operating model, which is embedding at pace, deepens the tailored support we can provide to local leaders with a clear vision for their communities, and I expect 2026/27 to be a year of even stronger collaboration for the benefit of people across England.”

Amy Rees, CEO at Homes England, added: “I am proud of what the agency and its many partners achieved in 2025/26, but our ambition is to go further and faster.

“Our new funds and greater autonomy, including the National Housing Bank and the Social and Affordable Homes Programme, equip us to do this at pace and provide the sector — from SME builders to global investors — with flexibility and long-term confidence to invest and deliver homes and regenerated places that are desperately needed.”
