Housing programmes delivered by Homes England resulted in 15,682 new houses starting on site and 14,295 new homes completed between 1 April and 30 September 2024, according to new figures from the agency.
The numbers represent an increase in both starts and completions compared to the same period in 2023.
A total of 10,434 affordable homes were completed during the period, up by 32% on the 7,929 affordable homes completed in the same period the previous year.
Outgoing chief executive Peter Denton said: “The statistics published today show a strong set of half-year results, reflecting the sector’s hard work and determination to build the new homes and communities the country needs.
“We have worked closely with our partners over the past year to manage pressures on delivery and ensure they have the security and certainty to keep going.”
He added: “The mission from the government is clear, so we will continue to work extremely hard to make sure our partners have the tools to carry on with the job in hand, creating the places that people are proud to call home.”
