The number of homes being built by housing associations
for sale on the open market has nearly halved in the past year, according to
the National Housing Federation. The NHF, which represents housing
associations, said the number of properties in which construction began between
July and September last year fell to 888, compared with 1,647 in the
same period the previous year. This represents a fall of 46%. However, the
NHF’s figures also show that construction starts of affordable homes in the
quarter were up 5% to 9,538 and up to 43,666 over the year. This is the
highest annual total since the survey began in 2016. Read more on Housing
