Description

Total number of housing completions (seasonally adjusted) #### How the figure is calculated: Total housing completions are reported by local authority and private building control organisations after the end of each quarter. A completion is counted when a dwelling is ready for habitation. The figures are seasonally adjusted to allow comparisons with previous quarters. #### Why is this indicator in the business plan? Increasing the supply of housing is a key part of DCLG policy. The house building figures are the most frequent and timely indicator of housing delivery. #### How often is it updated? Quarterly #### Where does the data come from? P2 quarterly house building returns by local authority building control departments; monthly information from the National House Building Council (NHBC) on the volume of building control inspections; and a quarterly survey of private building control companies. Published figures are at [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/house-building-statistics](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/house-building-statistics). #### What area does the headline figure cover? England #### Are further breakdowns of the data available? Yes, can be split by local authority area and by tenure #### What does a change in this indicator show? An increase in this indicator is good and shows more new houses are being completed. #### Time Lag Figures are published within two months of the end of the reporting period. #### Next available update November 2014. #### Type of Data National Statistics. #### Robustness and data limitations The P2 figures from local authorities and figures from private building control companies include imputation for a small number of missing returns. Seasonal factors for the house building time series are re-calculated annually back to 2000. This is usually done in the second quarter of the calendar year. Therefore the seasonally adjusted house building figures throughout the whole period change slightly at that time but are not marked as 'revised'. #### Links to Further Information [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/house-building-statistics](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/house-building-statistics) #### Contact Details [CorporatePerformance@communities.gsi.gov.uk](mailto:CorporatePerformance@communities.gsi.gov.uk)
