Affordable Housing: Construction

Asked by Sir James CleverlyConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 7 November 2025UIN 86650

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many (a) uncontracted and (b) unsold homes have been supported for (i) purchase and (ii) completion under the Section 106 Affordable Housing Clearing Service since its inception.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

In December 2024, the government launched the Homes England Clearing Service to help buyers and sellers of Section 106 homes find each other more effectively.

Whilst interested parties are encouraged to update when a sale is facilitated, doing so is not mandatory. As a result, we do not have exhaustive data on the number of homes sold or contracted through the service.
