Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of trends in house price affordability in South Basildon and East Thurrock over the last five years.

The Office for National Statistics publishes housing affordability ratios at a local authority level on their website here.

Data is not available at constituency level. Nationally, affordability has improved since ratios peaked in 2021, with the England ratio falling from 9.1 in that year to 7.6 in 2025.
