Affordable Housing statistical reports are based on the delivery of affordable homes which have been completed and publicly advertised to eligible affordable housing applicants. Comprehensive programme-level statistics are published by my Department on affordable housing delivery activity by local authorities and delivery partners in each local authority area. As is the case with house sales generally, the time between the completion and delivery of an affordable home and the close of sale will vary from property to property.

2022 was the first year of delivery of affordable purchase homes under the Act of 2021. Data for the years 2022, and 2023 and quarters 1, 2 and 3 of 2024 is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link:

This published data will be updated to include the final quarter of 2024 once returns from local authorities have been received and verified in the usual way.
