Homes England has asked all staff to work from home until further notice, following the spread of coronavirus and lock-down across the country.
Homes England has withdrawn from upcoming conferences events and business engagements but will continue to close deals and deliver housing.
The government’s housing body said it is following guidance from prime minister Boris Johnson to avoid all non-essential travel.
In a statement, it said: “We are determined to support the government at this time. The most important contribution we can make is to continue working with our partners to complete transactions and continue building the pipeline to support housebuilding.
“We will be providing updates on any further operational changes but our clear message at this time is Homes England is fully operational and determined to continue doing business.”
