Homes England recently published its official housing statistics showing the figures behind the building projects the organisation has managed during the first six months of the 2018-19 financial year. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Projects managed by Homes England finished 15,704 homes and started building 15,766 houses on site from 1 April to 30 September.<\/p>\n

Homes England is paving the way for affordable new builds<\/h4>\n

The number of new houses built in partnership with Homes England is up by 31% from the first half of 2017-18. Additionally, the number of homes that have started to be built has increased by 15%.<\/p>\n

Affordable homes<\/a>, which is a big part of Homes England\u2019s five-year plan<\/a> for the housing market, make up 63% of the housing starts and 71% of houses completed. These statistics reveal positive progress towards combating the country\u2019s chronic housing shortage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nick Walkley, chief executive of Homes England, stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cThese latest figures show the overall number of homes being built continues to rise, reflecting the hard work being carried out by the housing industry to build better homes faster.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHowever, while they are encouraging to see, we cannot be complacent. We know there is more work to be done to meet the Government\u2019s ambition to deliver 300,000 new homes a year, so we will continue to intervene in the housing market and use our land, powers and influence to make homes happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recent figures even show the number of new build homes<\/a> in the UK are at its highest for over a decade, so even though there is still a long way to go to hit the Government\u2019s housing goals, the housing sector is certainly taking positive strides in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Are modular homes the way forward to help the housing shortage?<\/h4>\n

According to a recent Guardian<\/em> article, experts have named modular homes<\/a> a revolution in Britain\u2019s homebuilding sector. These types of houses can be built in just 10 days instead of the usual 40 weeks.<\/p>\n

A factory in Yorkshire has started building three-bedroom houses that are fully-fitted and boast prices as low as \u00a365,000. Eight homes will come off the production line every day and be delivered across the country.<\/p>\n

Housing Secretary James Brokenshire commented: \u201cThis is about challenging the ways we have done things in the past.<\/p>\n

“We want to see 300,000 homes being delivered by the mid-2020s, so we need to scale up and build more, better and faster. And that is precisely what this facility is about.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The plant in Yorkshire run by Ilke Homes plans to build 2,000 new homes a year and hopes to increase that to 5,000 in the next five years. This will make the company a top UK housebuilder in terms of volume and will help fill the need for not only more homes but more affordable housing options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
