Answered by Alex Norris

The English Housing Survey is the Department’s key source of information on households and housing in England. While it is a sample survey and does not have a record of all dwellings built, it does contain data on the proportion of properties in different tenure types annually for England only, which is found: here. The department does not hold data for Wales or Scotland.
