The UK’s housing crisis is rarely out of the news, so how many new homes are being built, of what size and where?

Government data shows that the number of new homes created in England has hit its highest level in almost 30 years. More than 240,000 properties were added to the country’s housing stock in 2018-19 (also factoring in property demolitions). Under former chancellor Philip Hammond, the government set a target of building 300,000 new homes annually in England alone by the mid-2020s. The recent figures improve on the record low of 2012–13, when fewer than 125,000 homes were added.

The NHBC (the UK’s leading warranty and insurance provider for new homes) reports that 1.4 million new homes have been registered to be built in the last decade. 2019 was the highest year for UK new home registrations since 2007.

A recent BBC article gives the size of the average new home as 92 sq m, larger than an average existing home (89 sq m). This varies significantly across locations, however, with new homes in city centres being the smallest (64 sq m). Away from cities, new homes averaged 101 sq m.

London has, unsurprisingly, built the greatest number on new homes, but it isn’t the fastest growing city or large town.

Carrying out timely property inspections on set dates is one reason why Gateway Property Management leads the sector. We know that doing what we say matters.

Our recent Instagram post includes a photograph of Riddleah Court in Purley, Surrey, taken by our dedicated site inspection team (no filters applied!). The building is in excellent condition, as you can see, and is one example across the country of property that we carefully manage.

Gateway Property Management looks after apartments, houses and sheltered homes. Each property under our care is treated as it should be: individually. Clients and customers find our service open, friendly and professional.
