Housing Statistics for Scotland Quarterly Update: New Housebuilding and Affordable Housing Supply (published 27 June 2023)

This statistical publication presents latest quarterly figures to end March 2023 on new housebuilding and Affordable Housing Supply, along with annual rates of new housebuilding and affordable housing supply per head of population, with comparisons to other UK countries.

Following recent progress with collecting private-led housebuilding data to a faster schedule from local authorities there is no longer a time lag of a quarter that existed in previous publications for the figures presented between private-led housebuilding and social sector figures, meaning that the publication now presents all sets of quarterly figures to the same latest time period, across social sector, private-led and all-sector starts and completions.

Chart 1: Annual all-sector new housebuilding completions increased by 9% in the latest year to end March 2023, although starts have decreased by 2%.

Chart 1: A line chart showing both All-sector new housebuilding starts and All-sector new housebuilding completions, with Starts decreasing and Completions increasing in the latest year to end March.Background information including Excel webtables and explanatory notes on data sources and quality are available in the Housing Statistics webpages.
