Details
The figures in this release show the supply of affordable homes delivered under the National Affordable Housing Programme and all homes delivered under the Property and Regeneration Programme.
Affordable homes are housing units (or bed spaces) provided to specified eligible households whose needs are not met by the market. Other homes, delivered under the Property and Regeneration Programme, are mainly private housing units (or bed spaces) for rent or for sale where the rental value or market price is set in the open market.
Housing starts on site are reported when the building contractor for the housing development takes possession of the site or property and the provider/developer and builder have both signed the building contract. Housing completions are reported when the units are fit for occupation or, in the case of shared equity products delivered under the National Affordable Housing Programme, after exchange of contracts on the purchase.
